MONOMAD - Playing with Puddles of Rainwater

11 days ago

Hello Everyone.
Currently, the weather in my area often changes, sometimes even raining. Coincidentally, this afternoon the rain here only lasted a few minutes, resulting in puddles around the house. When it rains, plants grow well because water is essential for photosynthesis and nutrient transport. Geographically, our country is in Southeast Asia, so it will certainly enter the rainy season until December, and we sincerely hope there will be no dangerous flooding.

This afternoon, my young nephews were very excited when it started raining, hoping it would get heavier. Unfortunately, the rain only lasted a few minutes. Even though the rain had passed, they both took the initiative to play in the mud and puddles. They were both very happy, being able to imagine the puddles, even the clay that had softened from the rain. I can't imagine them taking advantage of that fleeting opportunity.

Two little girls were experimenting with the murky rainwater. They seemed to be mixing warm milk coffee to serve to their shop customers. Occasionally, they discussed the coffee in the cups. See how important learning from nature is to positively impact children's development. I truly appreciate everything they do, even though it's starting to drizzle again. I took a few pictures of them enjoying the puddles.

Getting Creative With Clay

Children who play with natural materials, such as clay and puddles of rainwater, can be enjoyable. Therefore, parents don't need to worry about their children when they are engaged in activities in nature. They simply need to provide guidance and supervision to ensure their safety.

Almost all children enjoy playing with soft, textured objects, such as clay. Clay's sticky texture when wet allows children to freely develop their imaginations, enhances creativity, and at the same time, helps them learn to socialize with friends and their surroundings.

When children try new things and use their imaginations with clay, they can experience the satisfaction of creating something with their own hands.
