splashes

Puddle stomping results

Splashes is the plural of splash—instances of liquid striking a surface and scattering: splashes of mud on the car, splashes in the pool.

A splash of color or flavor is a small, vivid amount: splashes of red in the painting, a few splashes of hot sauce.

The verb form means makes splashes: The dog splashes through puddles.
