It is an inescapable fact that we live on a very wet island! But sure, it is part of our charm, and without it we could never have held on to the beautiful title of “The Emerald Isle”

However, as beautiful as the green fields are, when you are stuck inside with even just one young child it can seem as though the rain is some kind of sploshy prison guard keeping you from the outside world!

So, to help restore the balance, and reclaim the fun when there is no sun, we have created an interactive virtual rain trail which you can share with your families. It is aimed at adults with children aged 2-8. It could also be used on the whiteboard in school if the teacher looks at the challenges ahead of time to prepare enough resources for the whole class.

After the opening page viewers can choose to explore one of three rainy options: Puddles, Rain or Rainbows.

Each section begins with a fun fact, then viewers can choose either an indoor challenge or an outdoor challenge.

These challenges are simple activities grown ups and children can do together. They use items commonly found around the house and help children to explore and use different skills.

Once they have read the challenge there is a brief Bible verse and thought which connects with the chosen element.

Viewers are then taken back to the choice page where they can choose a new option to read.
