Kids should wear mittens or gloves, a scarf and a hat to keep in body heat
-
Keep their ears covered to prevent frostbite
Play Time
-
Set reasonable time limits
-
Call kids inside occasionally to warm up
-
Provide warm drinks, like hot cocoa
Too Cold
-
Look at both the temperature and the wind chill
-
Don’t ignore shivering - it is the first sign the body is losing heat
