How to Do the Quest
- 1
Wait for safe conditions after light rain, then choose a familiar public route away from moving water, busy roads, and slippery slopes.
- 2
Make a hunt list with three reflection prompts: a patch of sky, a repeated shape, and a color that looks different in water.
- 3
Look from the edge of each puddle and take a photo or sketch without stepping into landscaped areas, road puddles, or water near drains.
- 4
Compare one reflection with the object above it and describe what changed, such as size, color, or direction.
- 5
Dry shoes and devices afterward, then choose one favorite observation for a rainy-day nature page.
Quest Challenge
Can the family complete the hunt while keeping dry enough, leaving no litter, and never stepping into unsafe water?
Pro Tip
Shallow puddles can look most reflective when you crouch nearby, but keep knees and hands clear of traffic, mud, and icy surfaces.
Safety First
Avoid flooded areas, drain openings, traffic, and slippery surfaces; use public safe paths, supervise children closely, and go back inside if weather worsens.
