Kitten tipping water bowl, any ideas?

My 10 week old kitten keeps dragging his water bowl, playing with the water etc, then it slops all over the floor, at night and when I’m out I keep him in the hall so he doesn’t get out of the cat flap (for the others) which is laminate flooring, I’m afraid it’s going to swell and get ruined.
I’ve tried putting a towel or cloth under, he drags that too. Is there any bowls especially for this? Any other ideas?

It needs a water fountain or a bigger, heavier bowl. The water play is probably fun but also an investigation into whether there is fresh water under the bowl 🙂

Heavy bowl - stops the tipping but won't stop the splashing! Putting the bowl in a plastic tray may help. It doesn't stop when they get older either - we have to fill the water dish surreptitiously, if our two see us doing it they immediately trot over for a splash about.
