Written by My First Five Years | Dec 14, 2021 1:52:05 PM

Are you the parent that cringes as you see your toddler approach the muddy, boggy puddle? Or are you the one who races past to get in there first? There is a universal truth, however, that many children love a puddle! 

The good news for your toddler puddle plunger is that it: 
• Encourages exploration and experimentation 
• Develops gross motor skills and muscle tone 
• Gives experience of cause and effect 
• Encourages the development of language 
• Supports sensory integration (using all of the senses together) 
• Enhances understanding of the changes in the world around them 
• Lowers stress levels 
• Boosts the immune system 
 
So, get your waterproofs on and find a puddle today!
