Latest Laois News: Splashing all the way into Spring in Laois
Make a Splash this Spring and take part in Laois County Council’s
#SplashIntoSpringChallenge
Laois County Council is encouraging young and old to get a ‘Spring in your Step’ this February. Make the most of a rainy day as you’re never too old to splash in a puddle and have fun! The Laois County Council #SplashIntoSpringChallenge is for young and old and all abilities – parents and kids, grandparents, etc. You can challenge your friends and family to make their own video or take their own photo and your video or photo could win you a Laois Gift Card!
As more than a few rainy days are expected in February, this type of event is a great way to support outdoor play by exploring and finding puddles to splash in, you can find puddles in your own gardens, or when out walking or visiting the park, in a socially-distanced manner of course!
