Children's Clothing for Every Season
The perfect forest kindergarten equipment
My son has been going to a forest kindergarten for almost 2 years, regardless of the wind and weather. For 2 years we have been experiencing the 4 seasons very intensely, with all advantages and disadvantages. Weather plays a major role every day and we need the perfect equipment for every weather, which is the only way to have fun in the forest.
Today I'll take you through the year and tell you what experiences we have, what good equipment is all about.
We start in late summer, the new kindergarten year. After the summer vacation it can still be very warm and the mosquitoes and ticks are usually still on the move. Therefore, the rule in the forest is always to wear long trousers and tops. To protect against ticks, the legs of the pants are stuck in the socks, then nothing can crawl up the legs. The onion principle is also good. You have to keep in mind that the forest is a lot cooler, especially in the morning. I like to wear Emil's products from Cosilana among his sturdy forest clothes , long underpants and shirt made of 70% new wool and 30% silk, they are soft and temperature and moisture balancing. Super practical. The robust wholesale childrens clothing then comes over the underwear. Depending on the weather, this can be a pair of rain pantsor robust outdoor trousers and a rain jacket, both from the BMS brand, for example.
Also great for dry days is the disana wool jacket , which is temperature-equalizing and the perfect companion to the forest, actually in every season. We also have a great Disana hat , headgear is also very important and this hat is made of pure new wool and very comfortable to wear. Emil always has a light cotton cloth around his neck that protects and warms.
With these parts you can get through late summer and autumn very well.
When winter comes ...
Last year it was really cold in winter. But no reason for us not to send Emil into the forest, especially the winter forest with snow and ice is an absolute experience for the children. Also perfect as underwear, everything made of wool. It always keeps you warm. Thick snow pants and snow jacket over the layer of wool, Ducksday has a great selection.
Our forest children also hike in the snow and they need good shoes. It has to be warm and waterproof. The boots from Kamik meet all criteria and bring the little hikers warm and dry feet through the cold season, because nothing is worse than having wet feet. Cap, scarf and gloves should not be missing at sub-zero temperatures. We like to use lined hats, fleece or wool, and the Lilano tube scarf is the same.
Woolen gloves keep you warm, but Emil prefers Ducksday gloves because they keep you warm and waterproof. After all, the snow is used to build what it takes. When the cold winter is over, the beautiful spring comes with all its natural wonders.
Hello dear spring, we are so happy
I like it when everything wakes up in the forest and it gets greener and greener. The temperatures are slowly getting warmer and the thick things can be packed away. However, in spring weather conditions everything is really possible. Therefore, the same applies to us here, every day has to adjust to the weather. The onion principle is also very pleasant for the children. A mix of wool or fleece and functional clothing are perfect this time of year.
As you can see, the wool clothing is really an all-rounder and can be worn in all seasons. Walk also accompanies us almost all year round. It is important that the children do not sweat uncomfortably under all their clothing, so breathable clothing is a great advantage. A good rain jacket is necessary in spring. We always have those with a large hood so that you can pull them over the wool or cotton hat so that the head stays nice and dry. Have a look at the HANS NATUR online shop , there is a large selection of weatherproof functional clothing .
Summer, summer, we like you so much
When it comes to summer, you have to pay a lot of attention, after all, mosquitoes and wasps like to fly around and the ticks are also active. This means that short clothing must not be worn; here too, stockings should be worn in the pants and a light long-sleeved shirt. Emil likes to wear light cotton pants or jeans in summer. Sturdy shoes are also good in summer so that the risk of injury is not as great. In summer I put light woolen tops on him that are not too loose on the body. A hat is also important in summer, it protects from the sun and also from bites or tick bites.
Emil has had a backpack from Affenzahn since he was kindergarten, there are many great motifs, and since Emil's character in kindergarten is the fox, it was clear which backpack to choose.😉
In the backpack there is space for a lunch box, a drinking bottle and a towel and of course all kinds of forest treasures 🙂
It is not difficult at all to equip the children well all year round, if you just keep a few things in mind. And practice makes perfect here too, meanwhile we are outdoor clothes professionals🙂
I hope I was able to give you some ideas on how to dress your children in nature soon. HANS NATUR really has a great selection for tall people and small people. I always enjoy browsing the shop.
