When it begins to rain, this is usually when your young children will ask about the rain and probably want to go out into the rain too.

This is what is needed to let your children have fun in the rain.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • children
  • rain
  • puddles
  • rain boots
  • rain coates
  1. Step 1

    First, put your children or child in a warm rain coat. The coat can be lined inside to keep them warm, or not. Just as long as they are wearing a long sleeve shirt and long pants. They do not have to wear gloves, especially if it is only 66 degrees outside.

  2. Step 2

    Second, if the rain coat does not have an attached hat or hood, put a hat on their head so their head will not get wet and it lessens the chance of your child catching a cold.

  3. Step 3

    Third, put rain boots on your chilren or child that reach a little bit under the knees. They rain boots should probably be of a rubber substance so the rain will run off easily.

  4. Step 4

    Fourth, now, you and your children or child can go outdoors and splash in rain puddles either in your backyard,driveway or sidewalk. Kids love splashing in water and when rain begins to fall, this is the perfect time to just have fun outdoors, splashing in some rain puddles.

Tips & Warnings
  • If your children or child has a cold, wait until the cold passes before jumping in rain puddles
  • Jump in rain puddles with your children or child
  • See above for warning on colds

on 1/25/2009 We all need to splash in the puddles with a toddler every now and then. I have my own little toddler, and he's so awesome. The energy and fun they so innocently bring to your life is just amazing.
