Living in Dubai, rainy days are few and far between.
They often creep up out of nowhere and before you know it, you’re soaked from your head to your toes and standing in a puddle.
So we believe it is important that opportunities such as these are utilized as a powerful learning experience!
Think of the hours of endless fun that comes from riding through puddles on our bikes and simply splashing in them barefoot or even better, in some rubber boots.
It’s natures water play after all, so it can be utilized as an amazing sensory experience.
Capture the rainwater in whatever ways you can and bring out the funnels from the garage and the strainers from the kitchen!
For the little learners that are older, we can teach them about the clouds and shine a light on how rain actually comes to be!
It also helps children to build up resilience to change. One minute it could be sunny and warm outside and all of a sudden it’s raining; which means we might not be able to go outside at that very moment or we may have to change our outfits to fit the weather, and that’s okay!
Playing in the rain is one of the simplest joys in life, so get your spare clothes ready and get splashing! #theinspirephilosophy
