Instead of staying indoors when it’s raining, why not have some fun splashing in puddles with your kids? If you don’t have rubber boots, snow boots are insulated and waterproof if it’s cold outside. If it’s warm, flip flops are just right. Some of my kids wore regular tennis shoes, and we just let them dry out overnight.
You can wear regular jackets or raincoats. Umbrellas are also optional. Make sure to take off your watch or anything else that isn’t waterproof.
Go on a walk in your neighborhood, making a game out of trying to find the largest puddles. Now splash in them as hard as you can. See who can make the biggest splash!
Your kids will holler and laugh with delight. Who knew splashing in puddles could be so fun?
I love how you actually encourage your kids to jump in puddles! I’ve never bought rain boots for my kids before, but I think I need to get some. I would also like a duck umbrella…for myself. 🙂 So glad to be a new follower.
Adorable raingear! Hannah has a panda umbrella that she just loves.
Ugh. I just realized I’m going to need to buy raincoats again soon. 😛
Yes! We love splashing in puddles! So much fun!
