Lizzy Pearce, Learning Manager from Arundel Wetland Centre said:
“We know children love jumping in puddles and there’s nothing better on a wet day than putting on your wellies and having a splash. Our puddle jumping championships are the perfect opportunity for guaranteed family fun whatever the weather.
As well as being great fun to jump in, puddles are also mini-wetlands that small wildlife use to feed, drink and bathe. Almost half of the world’s plants and animals depend on wetlands, they really are amazing so come and see for yourself and have lots of fun outdoors.
We know that children who enjoy getting closer to nature often grow up to be adults that love the outdoors. So through these championships we’re gently nurturing a love that may help protect wetlands and the wildlife that depend on them for years to come”.
As well as splashing about in puddles there’s lots of other fun activities to have a go with mud painting in the Outlook In craft hut, bird watching at the Woodland Lodge hide and Wetland Discovery boat safari rides!
