Outdoor play in winter is important for kids’ health, but staying warm is essential. Here’s a quick guide to the best gear:
1. Layering is Key
- Base Layer: Moisture-wicking thermals to keep skin dry.
- Mid Layer: Fleece or wool sweaters for insulation.
- Outer Layer: Waterproof jackets and snow pants to block wind and snow.
- Winter Clothing Must-Haves
- Gloves/Mittens: Waterproof and insulated. Mittens are warmer for younger kids.
- Hats & Neck Warmers: Fleece-lined hats and neck gaiters for full coverage.
- Socks & Boots: Wool socks and insulated, waterproof boots with good grip.
- Extra Accessories for Comfort
• Hand/Toe Warmers: Disposable or reusable for added heat.
- Earmuffs: Great alternative to hats for kids on the go.
- Bright Colors: Improves visibility in winter weather, especially when it gets dark so early.
- Safety Tips
- Ensure gear fits properly for ease of movement.
- Opt for lightweight, flexible materials.
Stay warm!
Happy playing!
