The Great Wet Outdoors
Sure, summer is great with sprinklers and bubbles, but water play outdoors can be a year round activity. Spring is perfect. It comes with puddles and mud. Add boots, raincoats, polar fleece jackets and follow your toddler out the door. She’ll know what to do next.
And don’t give up water play in the winter. Bring some snow inside and watch what happens. Notice the dripping icicles on a warm winter day. Taylor says, “Winter is fun. It’s beautiful to explore in the winter. There are lots of creative possibilities– the drippy snow, the fluffy snow. Toddlers can take handfuls of icicles to break–the sound they make is amazing.” Best of all is stomping through puddles that have frozen with a thin layer of ice– what power!
