When to introduce kittens to water?

When can I introduce my kittens to water. My mother thinks they are about 5 weeks old. ( their mother abandoned them in our yard and we decided to keep them)

How is the easiest way to do it, every time I show them a bowl of water they just run away lol.

They are eating fairly well and drinking some milk replacer.

    Try a more shallow bowl. I've had 3 week old kittens drinking water because they saw mom do it. Mix canned kitten food with KMR and warm water to a thick soup. Do NOT give them any formula or milk in a dish - give water only.
