There is no bad weather, just bad clothing”

“I’ve always liked that slogan. I first heard it from nature kindergarten educators whose students were outside every day, all day, in all kinds of weather, in places like Norway and Denmark. Now we all say it!” Rusty Keeler, Author and Playground Designer

I agree with Rusty!

What is weather? Why do we label it good or bad? Weather is just interesting. We should experience and learn about it as part of our natural world. All weather is safe and can be comfortable when properly dressed! This is important even more so in times of CoVid we are outdoors more than ever.

How can you help make outdoor time fun, education and pleasant no matter what mother nature has in store?

Here is how for colder temperatures:

         Dress in multiple layers! T-shirt, shirt and sweater or vest, pants and a larger pair of sweatpants or snow pants to layer, OR long underwear and pants and warm socks

         Provide your child with outer winter clothes:

         Jacket, snow pants, and snow boots (**not fashion” boots), a hat and several pairs of mittens, neck gaiter

          Raincoat, rain pants, rain boots, brimmed hat (like a baseball cap) and an umbrella OR a rain suit!

We are ready to go now! Outdoors every day and loving it!
