Kids are pretty adventurous, while you are indoors during the winter months, your kids will be out there playing and making fun. We all want to get outside during winter. There is much fun to do outside in the snow. However, staying warm and ensuring that your kids are safe as they do that winter play can be a challenge. For some reason, we tend to think that heavy clothing like jeans can keep kids warm. Although they can do it, being out there for hours makes the kids chilly even when in jeans. Fortunately, there are ways you can keep your kids warm as they go about their play activities.

Dress them in layers
You can beat the cold weather and ensure your kids feel toasty by layering their clothing. To do it right, make sure that the kids wear a wicking and quick-drying layer closest to their skin. The kids can then put on other clothing to ensure that they are warm enough to keep on playing for hours. A base layer made of polyester-spandex fabric makes a great choice for the freezing weather. This thermal wear is pretty warm, soft, and breathable ensuring that it wicks moisture away from the kid’s skin. You can choose long johns or legging for your kids and you pair that up with a thermal top or shirt. Layering the clothing ensures that the kids remain safe while outside.

Let them wear boots
Boots are best for the cold weather. They help your kids keep their feet warm. When choosing boots for the kids, you can consider a little bit bigger size so that they fit well with cold-weather socks.

Have lots of socks
Wearing a pair of socks designed to beat cold weather ensures the kids’ feet remain warm and dry. You may consider socks that are not so thick because although extra-thick socks can retain heat, on the other hand, they can bunch up causing discomfort if the kids wear them in a tight-fitting boot.

Wear scarves, mitts, and toques
Extreme winter cold requires that you cover almost every part of your body. You can consider having scarves, toques, and mitts for your kids when there are outside in the cold. These extra essentials are ideal for very cold weather. Get a toque for your child that fits low over her or his ears. If you are buying one for your toddler and young child, look for one that has ear flaps. You can also have a thick fleece-lined hat as it is great in helping kids to stay warm.

These are some of the ways you would want to keep your kids toasty while playing outside in winter. Avoid choosing only jeans for your kids. Although they can seem to be warm, they will ultimately get cold. However, you can consider having the kids wear long johns or leggings under the jeans. You can consider Bodtek thermal leggings and underwear sets for kids during winter days. When you layer them up, your kids will be comfortable as they play. Bodtek thermals come in different features including moisture-wicking, quick-drying, heat retention, odor reduction, and snugly fit.
