National Step in a Puddle and Splash your Friends Day !

Here at YMCA Fairthorne we pride ourselves in having fun whatever the weather. Come rain or shine we encourage everyone to make the most of their surroundings – even if they might get soaked in the process!

So, it won’t come as any surprise that when we heard there was a day to celebrate stepping into a puddle and splashing your friends we decided to jump in with both feet!

Yes, there really is a National Step in a Puddle and Splash your Friends Day! (who knew?)

It’s an activity that can be enjoyed by both the young and the young at heart – it, of course, depends whether you can find a puddle but at this time of year it should be easy enough.

Next, it’s time to find a friend to splash with– we recommend choosing someone who won’t mind getting soggy – it might be best to avoid any friend who are on their way to a job interview or a wedding …

So why not wrap up warm and join in the fun; put on your wellies, find a big puddle, grab a friend and jump!

To show you how’s it’s done, here’s Ollie and William, toddlers at our Fairthorne Nursery having lots of puddling splashing fun:
