Rainy Day Active Play Ideas
In the Pacific Northwest, where rain is a regular part of life, kids have learned to embrace the wet weather and find joy in playing outside in the rain. They don their rain boots and jackets and head outside to jump in puddles, splash in streams, and catch raindrops on their tongues. The fresh smell of rain and the sound of it pattering on the leaves and pavement add to the sensory experience. Playing in the rain fosters a sense of adventure, resilience, and connection to nature, as kids learn to appreciate the beauty and importance of water. Even on the grayest of days, the joy of playing in the rain brings a spark of happiness to both kids and adults alike.
