The joys of jumping in puddles

You may sigh when storm clouds gather, but for your toddler it's the perfect excuse for making a big splash!

THERE ARE SOME things in life that just go together. Like fish and chips. Laurel and Hardy. Toddlers and puddles. And the moment, your toddler spies that tantalizing pool of water, there’s something in his psyche that urges him to make a splash. And guess what? It’s really good for him (even if it may mean soggy clothes for you). Lively outdoor play activities are important for your child’s development of independence and autonomy. According to the Children and Nature Network Research Studies, when children play in natural environments, their play is more diverse, imaginative and creative – all very positive skills. So the message is, let them jump – just make sure they are dressed for the occasion. And what better footgear than a pair of Hunter Kids boots. Available in a new selection of dazzling colours, including fuchsia, lilac and lime, these funky boots will brighten any grey day.

(itals) Hunter Kids available in sizes 7–5, in green, navy, powder blue, black, iris, fuchsia, red, pink, lilac and lime.
