Rain pours outside the window again, and the child’s mood is also far from sunny: your favorite walk will have to be canceled again! Is it worth it? In a walk in the rain there is its own charm. Of course, to feel comfortable even in such weather, you need appropriate equipment. Raincoats, umbrellas and rubber boots will be very helpful. For a small child, it is worth purchasing special clothes with a water -repellent impregnation. You can do this in a neighboring store or through any online children’s clothing store, since prices are much more affordable there.
Puddles are so interesting!
Children who barely began to walk, puddles literally attract. Do not deprive the baby of pleasure: let him run along them, lifting the fountains of spray! And it is also interesting to throw pebbles in puddles and beat them with a branch. Or arrange a regatta, letting yachts and boats made of slivers, leaflets, trees bark.
At the playground
Of course, wet lasering lasias are more traumatic than dry – this should be explained to the child. It will also not be superfluous to insure your child when it climbs the slide in the rain.
But the games in the sandbox with wet sand are a continuous pleasure: both the Easter cakes are sculpted perfectly, and the house for the rubber hare is easy to build, and even the castle of a fabulous princess to build.
Music of the rain
Can be found during such a walk and more calm classes. Listen with the baby how the rain drumming on the elastic surface of the umbrella, how the water is noisy in the drain pipes, how wet foliage rustles under the feet ..
Pay the child’s attention how the smell of wet grass and earth changes, how fresh air is. Observe how insects and birds behave in the rain, how it moves through puddles, squeamishly shaking off the legs of a cat … Together with you, the child will learn to be attentive to the little things, notice the unusual in the usual things.
Of course, a fee for such a walk will be wet, dirty clothes and shoes. But is this price so great for the joy of new discoveries and impressions donated to the child?
