For most children puddles have a magnetic effect! Today in the garden the children were delighted to find so many big puddles had appeared after all the rain. They were desperate to get their wellies on and start jumping! We wanted to see who could splash the most water out of the puddles!
We used one of the crates to jump off to see if that created a bigger splash! The children very cleverly observed that the higher they jumped from, the bigger the splash!
”Wow, that was big, I got more wet!”
After all their jumping, the children decided to roll the tyres through the puddles to see if they made big splashes.
“1, 2, 3 Push!!!”
I asked the children if they could see anything else in the garden that could make a splash in the puddles! They found the football and had great fun kicking it and throwing it to make big splashes!
The children found a puddle in our big tray and decided to throw the ball to each other across the tray! This created big splashes which caused great hilarity when they got their faces splashed!
“Ah, it’s very cold on my face!”
“When life gives you a rainy day, play in the puddles!”
