If it is extremely cold, make sure they are wearing the right clothing, including layering and accessories to keep them warm and protected.
Needs
(1) Coat – A coat is a definite must-have for a boy for the winter months. Look for coats that are insulated and waterproof, and also have a hood to protect the head and ears. A parka or a puffer jacket are great options
(2) Layering – Layering is key for keeping boys warm during the winter months. Start with a base layer of thermal underwear, add a mid-layer of a sweater or fleece, and finish with a waterproof or insulated outer layer. This will help to trap heat and keep boys warm and dry.
(3) Pants – When it comes to buying boys’ pants for the winter months, look for those that are made with waterproof or water-resistant material. For boys who will be playing in the snow, insulated or snow pants are great choices.
(4) Sweater – During the winter months a warm sweater is a great layering for boys. Choose sweaters that are made from wool or cashmere and are naturally warm and insulating. Avoid sweaters made from cotton as they can become heavy and damp in the snow or mist.
Tips
(1) Thermal long johns or leggings can be worn underneath pants to give an extra layer of insulation.
(2) A fleece-lined jacket or vest is also a great option for layering. Always make sure they are dressed in layers that are easy to put on and take off, so they can add or remove as needed.
(3) A good pair of socks made from warm and insulating material can help to keep feet warm and dry.
