10 best kids’ wellies for rainy walks and jumping in puddles

I gathered a group of young testers to put wellies of all types through their paces - (Sarah Dawson/The Independent)

Kids don’t let a little thing like rain get in the way of their fun, so a decent pair of wellies is an absolute essential, whatever the season.

As soon as they can walk, it’s a good idea to invest in some mini wellies for outdoor fun. Trust me, I’ve learned that one first-hand; this comes from a parent who wasn’t so organised, and had to fashion waterproof covers from plastic bags so her toddler could enjoy their first snow. Wellies are an easy go-to for walks and trips to the playground when the weather looks iffy, as well as being an essential for forest school sessions.
