In Finland kids play outside despite of weather
Summer
Dressing kids is
easy summer time. (I love summers!) I can send kids outside without spending
half an hour dressing them (or assuming that at the age of 3 and 5 years they
do it all by themselves).
Fall
Now challenges
start. The kids need middle season overalls. If the ones that they used last
spring are too small, it is time to do some shopping. The best options are waterproof overalls. However, for muddy and rainy days the kids need mud pants
and a rain coats also. For cool days they need fleece or wool layers under
their overalls (they can use the same once during the winter). To keep their
feet warm Gore-Tex shoes are the best choice. They also need rubber boots for
muddy days. And we should not forget water-proof mittens. And mud mittens to
play with mud (which they love to do). They must have a beanie “pipo”, which is
made of cotton. In addition to all these out-door clothes the kids need better
clothes also: jackets, shoes, mittens etc.
Winter
Spring
Yes! Spring will be here soon. It
is time to switch to the middle season overalls. But with sunglasses they look
much cooler! The weather improves every week and soon I can search for our kids
sweatsuites that they often use when outside. Soon the rubber boots and Gore-Tex shoes can be replaced with sneakers.
