Tips for spending a day in the snow with children
Enjoying a pleasant day is the goal of many families when they consider climbing the mountain looking in the snow for the perfect environment for family fun. Enjoy the snow is one of the low cost leisure plans preferred by children and before uploading take note of these tips:
1. The best age. It is good that children have from 3 or 4 years. At this age they will begin to enjoy it more and they will have enough strength to withstand the cold of the snow and, of course, move with greater ease and safety on irregular surfaces.
2. Materials to carry. It is important to bring water to be well hydrated, sunglasses and sunscreen. Snow is very aggressive on the skin and sun reflections can cause burns and hurt our eyes.
It is important to also bring change clothes, as it will be quite uncomfortable, annoying and you can get sick if you make the way back home with wet clothes.
It would not be bad if you brought something to eat. The snow, like nature in summer, whet your appetite and, if we can also bring a thermos with warm milk, it will be a great snack that will give you new energy to continue playing.
3. Adequate equipment. It is advisable to wear a waterproof jumpsuit. If you do not have one, you can wear waterproof boots with cotton insoles and several pairs of socks to protect the feet from the cold.
In addition, you must wear a hat, scarf and waterproof gloves. Keep in mind that if you keep children very warm, they will sweat excessively, and this can make them get colder when they stop physical activity. Calculate the number of layers you need to carry thinking about your activity and your way of being.
4 Learn to ski. At the ages that we have advised, there are already courses for children to learn to ski. If this is the case, it is important that the material also includes a hat to protect oneself from falls. It is very important both the helmet and the boots are appropriate according to the weight, height and size of the child.
5. The games.
- Slip on sledges. Children's favorite game On a snowy day it is to slide down the slopes with the sled. These sleds can be rented in recreational areas or purchased in large areas, but remember never to use plastic bags instead. Even if you are going to be in the snow "just a little while". A layer of light snow prevents us from seeing what is underneath, and if we come across a rock or some ups and downs of the terrain we can get a good scare.
- Make snowmen. You can make one the whole family or help the children to make each one their own. If you decide to build a snowman, remember to take home a carrot for the nose and some buttons for the eyes. They are always much more beautiful and are things that you will not find in the snow.
- Build an igloo making a big snowball and emptying it inside. Always be careful, do not be too big so that if the roof falls on the kids, do not hurt them.
- Battle of snowballs. If you are more '' brawlers '' it is imperative that you celebrate your own battle of snowballs.
Enjoying the snow is a perfect leisure plan for the whole family in winter, but it is always better to take into account these small details so that the plan is round.
