Puddle in My Pocket
A rainy day toddler story about splashing indoors, tiny wellies and one pretend puddle made safely at home.
Age: Babies and toddlers, 0–3 years
Theme: Rainy day play, indoor activities, imaginative movement and safe sensory fun
Parent problem solved: Gives toddlers the joy of puddle play even when the weather is too wet for going out
Rain sat on the window.
Drop by drop.
Slide by slide.
The garden looked wet.
The path looked shiny.
The sky looked full.
One little nose pressed
close to the glass.
One little hand pressed too.
Outside puddles waited.
Big puddles.
Round puddles.
Splashy puddles.
But the rain was too busy.
Too much rain.
Too much drip.
Too much splash.
One little voice said,
“Puddle?”
A grown-up smiled.
Not outside.
Inside.
A blue towel came out.
Soft towel.
Wide towel.
Puddle-coloured towel.
Splash small. Splash safe.
Tap the rainy window to hear the rain.
Tap once to make the rain move. Tap again to make the window still.
The towel went on the floor.
Flat.
Blue.
Right in the middle.
A pretend puddle.
A safe puddle.
An inside puddle.
Then came the wellies.
Little yellow wellies.
One boot on.
Other boot on.
The floor went quiet.
The boots waited.
The blue towel waited.
One toe touched first.
Tap.
One boot landed.
Splash.
Then the other.
Splash splash.
A tiny duck bounced.
A little laugh came out.
The pretend puddle
did not run away.
It stayed put.
Good puddle.
Indoor puddle.
Splash small. Splash safe.
Tap the wellies to splash in the indoor puddle.
Tap once to make the wellies splash. Tap again to make the puddle rest.
The rain stayed outside.
The play came inside.
One boot stamped.
Then the other.
Tap.
Splash.
Tap.
Splash.
The room was warm.
The towel was soft.
The pretend puddle
felt just right.
One little hand
patted the towel.
One little voice said,
“More puddle.”
So the boots splashed again.
Splash splash.
Not too big.
Not too wild.
Just little rainy day fun.
The puddle could wait
for another day too.
Fold up towel.
Take off boots.
Small smile.
Warm room.
Rain on the window.
And one tiny puddle
still in the pocket.
