Honestly i don't really recommend this book to any preschool teachers, some ideas in the book that involve sand and/or water were so elementary that no one would need a book to think of them. "Backyard Beach Party," for example, has the following instructions:
1. Set up two sand and water tables outside. In one of the sand and water tables, add sand and seashells. In the other, add water, sea animals, and boats.
2. Set up a beach umbrella and beach towels nearby.
3. Give the children beach balls and encourage them to have a beach party.
Then, there is the "Sand Castles, Canals, and Tunnels" idea:
1. Bring the sand and water table outside.
2. Fill it with sand, water, and other materials and encourage the children to create sand castles.
