What can children learn from playing in the rain? The joy of nature. One of our goals is to engender a joy of nature in children. Most children are drawn to puddles and when they are allowed to play in the rain they may form a deeper connection with nature.
To navigate on slippery terrain. We work to build good motor skills in children including balance. The experience of playing outdoors in the rain helps children learn to test slippery paths before stepping on them, avoid deep puddles and take advantage of more shallow puddles, and keep their balance in different types of shoes.
Learn through their senses. You know that scent that tells you that rain is on its way? It provides a deep sense of pleasure for most of us. The sound of the rain against different surfaces, touch of raindrops of different sizes and frequency, the taste of rain dripping into your mouth are all opportunities to awaken the senses.
