As a mother and occupational therapist, Hazel Cottle knows how important it is for both her kids and her patients to spend time outdoors. It sparks joy, brings people together and improves lives. Yet in the UK, a country where it rains a lot, it can be tempting to stay warm and dry inside the house. Hazel thinks she has the perfect solution to encourage families to get outside — even when it’s wet and dreary. Join Hazel as she prepares and delivers her big idea in a TED Talk — and gets some surprising news that just might bring puddle parks to life.

“My Big Idea” is a new series from TED that documents the process of imagining and then creating a TED Talk, featuring first-time speakers and ideas new to the TED stage. Watch the first episode featuring Hazel Cottle here:
