The best toddler wellies for jumping in puddles

Crocs – whether you love them or loathe them, you’ve got to admit they’re great for kids. Available in a host of different colours, if your tot lives in their Crocs all summer, they’ve now got a wet-weather pair without the holes! Lightweight, comfortable and breathable, these hard-wearing boots are perfect for every little Croc lover. One mum said: "These are FAB! So lightweight for running, climbing, walking, puddle jumping! There is clearly no need to have huge bulky heavy wellies for kids! The yellow ones are a really lovely bright colour."

You might have heard of Australian brand Merry People's adult gumboots, and now they've launched children's wellies too - and we love them. Currently available in a range of four colours, our favourites are these mustard ones, although the navy with tan inners are cute too. The grip on the sole is sturdy, and these boots are versatile enough to be worn every day, not just for puddle jumping. They're also 100 per cent vegan. One happy mum who purchased these boots for her little one said: "We love these boots. My son and I have matching pairs and I have purchased them again for him this year along with a pair for next year so he is all line up as he grows. People comment on these boots all the time, they are comfy, easy to thrown on for any occasion. His first pair he wore 70% of the year and they were still going strong till he outgrew them."

These navy wellies are a must-have for your little ones this autumn and winter! Made from natural rubber, they're super comfy and lined with a cosy mix of wool and polyester to keep those tiny toes warm and toasty. Plus, they have removable insoles and a reflective Wheat logo on the back for added safety. The waterproof fabric cuff at the top can be tightened to fit snugly around your tot’s legs, so no more worries about water getting in!

We absolutely love the Jojo Maman Bébé Bug Print Wellies! These adorable boots are perfect for autumn and keep your little one dry while they jump in puddles and have fun. Made from soft and flexible materials, they are way more comfortable than regular plastic boots.

The soles have a gentle grip, allowing your child to run and play without slipping, and the cosy lining means they can wear them all day without discomfort. If you’re into matchy sets, these wellies can also be paired with the 2-Piece Waterproof Trouser and Jacket Set, which is sold separately.

Mum tester Anne Lora says, "These are great for rainy days at the playground or rolling around in the park! My little one’s feet stay protected, and the cute bug prints—with caterpillars and dragonflies—are just too adorable!"

Coming in so many different colours and prints, these boots are practical yet stylish. They have buckle details, an easy-on design, and are a taller length so children don't have to worry about water splashing into their boots during rainy weather. They have a sturdy textured sole and moisture-wicking cotton lining that ensures that your child is comfortable. Sophie, mum of Otto, said: "They're such great quality. I like how strong they are with a soft cosy lining to keep Otto warm and dry. Plus the stylish details make them super smart". And, happy with how snug it feels, another mum said: "Great quality and apparently comfortable. They stood up well to a muddy festival so far and I expect them to last the autumn/winter wet seasons too. I bought them a bit large so with thick welly socks they fit very well. There's great colours and great prices (I got them on sale)."

Easy to pull on and off, these are adorable puddle-busting toddler wellies. They're available in yellow or navy so not only are they super cute, but they also mean your little one is easy to spot in a crowd.
A parent who loved these for her toddler said: "I love that these wellies are barefoot friendly, it’s quite hard to find wellies that are especially for toddlers. My little girl constantly fell over in her supermarket chunky based ones, but these are lightweight and not as tall so don’t hinder her movement. Perfect for little ones with shorter legs."

These wellies are sturdy and long-lasting, with super grippy soles and available in a choice of bright, cheery designs. They're taller than most wellies, which means extra protection from jumping in puddles, helping to keep your toddlers drier for longer. The inner soles are padded to make them more comfortable, and there are reflective strips down the back of the boots for when it gets a bit dark. "These are fantastic quality wellies! Will be lots of splashing happening in these for sure! Daughter loves them.", said one mum.

These wellies will cause a real splash! Made from 100 per cent rubber, they have a warm brushed fleece lining and come with a free drawstring bag. Each boot features a clever water-activated colour-changing pattern so colourful raindrops will appear when they're splashing about in the rain. Great for encouraging play even on rainy days. A mum and second time puchaser said: "These are just amazing our second pair we have, also purchased the ice-cream thermal colour changing ones. They both work fantastically and the colours are strong, the come with a dirt protector drawstring bag and the quality is just unreal. 1000% recommend these as your next purchase!"

You're completely quackers if you don't find these wellies super adorable. Made from natural, hardwearing rubber that's 100 per cent waterproof, your little duck will be able to splish and splash in all the puddles without their tootsies getting wet. There's a measuring tape at the back of each boot so you can see how deep the puddles are. Bought for her son, one parent said: "These boots are 10/10! Bought for my 2 year old son who never wants to take them off! They are his ‘unicorn boots’. Whenever we go out he is the envy of all the other children! Super cute, incredibly well made. Faultless. Worth every penny of the price tag."

Who better to jump in muddy puddles with than Peppa Pig? These wellies are part of the official merchandise for the franchise and would make a thoughtful gift for any tot who's Peppa obsessed. We love the addition of the pretty flowers. Bought as a gift for a true Peppa pig fan, said: "My little Peppa fan was so happy with her new wellies. Everyday she will hunt them down and wave them at me to put them on her... They were a bargain and arrived next day. The handles make them easier to get on her feet and they enable her to carry them around easily. Best of all they keep her tootsies try when she is puddle splashing!"

Is your little one obsessed with dinos? These waterproof wellies from popular brand Shoe Zone are super stylish. Available in sizes 4-12, each pair is hardwearing, flexible and comfy with cleated soles for a better grip. "My 3 year old loves these so much that I had to buy same pair as the older pair are a bit too tight now. They are great when paired with a waterproof rain suit. We take them with us everywhere as you never know when you'll come across a new muddy puddle.", said one customer.

"A Gruffalo? What's a Gruffalo?" With these boots on their feet, their friends will know! Perfect for little monsters, these Gruffalo boots have optimal grip and purple spikes on the back (of course). They also feature drawstring fastening for extra protection in deep puddles and with super soft rubber they can be rolled up for easy storage and transportation. A customer impressed with its durability said: "I brought these for my 2-year-old grandson and he loves them. They are of good quality and look fantastic."

Your little one will really stand out in these beautiful rainbow wellies. Even better they have flashing, light up soles to make puddle jumping even more exciting. Agreeing with the product description, one buyer said: "These are exactly what they say they are, great quality and would definitely recommend them. My little girl loves them - this is her third pair due to the speed she’s growing."Featuring glitter in the design too, these durable, non-slip wellies will really brighten rainy days. Plus they are practical too with easy on handles and thick insoles for comfort.

These cute boots are lightweight and flexible and have a plush lining to keep your little one's toes warm. They are designed especially for tots with Neo-Tech insulation and DuraFresh bio-technology. In eye-catching red, they also have an easy on-off back opening and pull on handles to encourage little ones to put on their own boots. Plus, they are machine washable. A grandparent said: "My granddaughter loves wearing these ...... easy to put on and remove and they keep her feet toasty when playing outside in the cold."

Who doesn't love bright yellow wellies on a wet day? These colourful, fleece lined wellies will keep your little one dry and warm on even the coldest day. Plus they are made from strong, flexible rubber with reflective detailing. Your little one can even explore the slipperiest of terrains with the grippy soles and even better the drawstring toggle top will protect them from getting water in their wellies when they jump in the deepest of puddles. Glad with the drawstring: "We love the fuzzy lined Forest Leader wellies. The drawstring top helps keep out the rain (and helps keep wellies on feet when walking through mud) and the yellow pair are a bright and cheerful colour. Our order arrived quickly in a lovely presentation box, and I am very glad I placed my order with Spotty Otter."

These wellies are great for your little one to wear all year round and they have useful reflective strips for safety. Made from strong but flexible rubber with grippy soles, these are perfect for rainy days, muddy days and beach days. They look stylish too, available in navy, red or yellow. "Very comfortable, sturdy boots but also flexible. Daughter very happy to spend whole days in them at forest school.", said one mum.
