Additional Information:
We let J (24M6D) try this activity this evening. Basically it was a hit and run. If he got it right, it was by coincidence, but he enjoyed the game very much, and was very motivated.
8 November 2019 (3Y5M22D): We did this activity for the first time. She was enjoying it very much and she could do it well, albeit with much concentration and it took effort. Thus, it was the right level for her. We didn't use any basin. I felt that she won't fill it. It went fine. In general, she has been enjoying all the Montessori practical life activities I set up for her. So that was very nice.
