When they are playing in rain it helps them connect with all the weathers nature has. This helps improve their general connection they have with nature. They are exposed to a different sensory experience. There are so many new sights, sounds, smells, touches, and possibly tastes (depending on your child), to be experienced.
They are learning. More specifically they are learning about water through their chosen method of playing in it. Never underestimate how much they learn through their play.The benefits of playing in the rain.
