Rain rain go away, come again another day! All the family wants to play, rain rain go away! A constant of our lives, while it might be a little bit hard to make the rain go away with rhymes, we should not let the rain stop the fun either! With the right equipment and the right precautions, we can prevent the rain from making our little ones sick, and keep the fun going throughout the seasons. How do we deal with the rain? How do we keep the fun going, splish-splashing in small ponds? Let’s explore!
Rain with Buggies
Completely new to our world, small children have many new things to discover every day, and rainy days are the best to provide your kid with many different views of life. With clear buggy rain covers, exploration becomes many times easier! Clear covers allow our kids to watch their surroundings under the rain while being shielded from the droplets and windy and cold weather. With comfy and cosy clothes to keep them warm under the cover, they are good to go!
Choosing the Best Raincoat
For our on-foot explorers, comfort is of utmost importance to keep the fun discoveries going. When picking out a baby raincoat for our little ones, we have some factors to consider to allow them all the safety and comfort as they discover the world at their own pace and keep the fun going regardless of the weather.
- It is important that the outer layer of the coat is made of a durable material so that it shields them from both the rain and the harsh winds that accompany most rains.
- Having elasticated cuffs and a hood helps keep the coat in place during activities, providing your little one with the comfort of not having to fix their clothing all the time.
- When playing in areas closer to the roadside, of course, parental supervision is always key, but having extra protection on the coat helps your kid be more visible, providing the vehicles with signs, and preventing any possible accidents. Bright-coloured baby coats with reflective strips on them help prevent many accidents and provide your children with safer playtimes.
- Even during summer rains, rain is cold, and it is crucial to be as protected as possible. Raincoats with dipped hems at the back help keep your baby’s bottoms warm and dry, protecting both their health and your inner peace.
- Fun designs on coats double the fun! Having fun designs on coats catered to your little one’s liking makes wearing coats even more exciting, making your little one more cooperative in wearing their layers, and more excited to go out and play.
What to Wear Inside the Raincoat
The comfort of the raincoat is best enhanced with the clothes worn inside. When preparing to go out and explore, pairing the raincoat with comfy and cosy clothes is key for providing your children with the best comfort. Wearing comfy and warm sweatpants and baby sweatshirts underneath allows for more movement, more warmth, and cosy playtimes shielded from the cold rain.
The Best Shoes to Play Under the Rain
It is always best to match the best raincoat with the best pair of Wellies to double the fun and jump in the small ponds without getting your feet wet. Dry and warm feet equals a happy and healthy kiddo, and when looking for the best welly we have some signs to follow. Rubber outer material prevents water from going inside, and wind from making our kiddo’s feet cold. Having an extra inner lining is even better in wellies for keeping feet warm and cosy, especially during cold and rainy days when it is so easy for our little ones to get sick. Pairing their wellies with soft socks or welly liners is the worst enemy of cold feet and the best friend of happy and healthy children.
The Best Bag for Rainy Days
We do not want our spare clothes and favourite toys to get wet, do we? When playing outside, having a waterproof bag to keep all necessities from spare clothes to sanitising essentials, to our favourite toys with us and just as dry and cosy as we are is important to keep the fun going without any stops.
Healthy Snacks to Nibble On
Activity takes a lot of energy, and protecting our bodies from the cold weather takes even more. Packing healthy, nutritious snacks in our children’s bags for them to keep themselves energised in between meals helps protect both their health and their mood from going sour.
