Puddles are super inviting for kids because children love water and mud. These mini-lakes are hurdles in the making and are a perfect way to get kids moving. Jumping over puddles is actually an exciting activity that helps to develop the large muscles in the legs. It’s also a great way to get kids active and moving. You may enjoy a walk around the neighborhood, but kids don’t necessarily share your enthusiasm. Jumping over puddles and splashing around in them is a fun way to get kids to actively participate in a family walk and work those all-important gross motor skills. However, you should challenge yourself to think of puddle jumping as an outdoor activity in and of itself. Like playing hopscotch or tag, you should think of puddle jumping as something your child can do after a rainy day where they probably had to spend a lot of time inside—letting them enjoy some jumping around, and splashing can be a great way to get some exercise. 5 Reasons Why Kids Should Jump in Puddles

Doing this activity while also interacting with kids their age or parents can strengthen their social skills. It’s a fun activity that has more benefits than downfalls.
