water play

Sprinkler fun time

Water play is recreational activity involving water, especially unstructured play for young children—splashing in pools, pouring from containers, playing with water tables.

The term appears in early childhood education contexts, where water play is considered beneficial for sensory development and motor skills.

In adult contexts, water play may refer to sexual activity involving water, urination, or water-based BDSM practices.
