Dressing for Outside Play...

I love spring!  The weather here is so nice outside right now.  I really hope it stays this way.  We try to have our preschoolers go outside everyday and it makes it so much more pleasant when the weather is warm and sunny.  A few things to remember about outdoor gear as the weather changes:

• If we get more snow, snowpants and boots are required.
• If your child comes to preschool in the morning it may still be pretty cool in the morning.  Your child may be more comfortable outside if they are wearing mittens/gloves, a hat, and warm jacket-especially if wearing short sleeves. 
• If your child comes to preschool in the morning he/she may be more comfortable having a warm jacket for awhile rather than a lighter spring jacket.
• Right now the playground is pretty dry but if we get more snow or rain and it is wet outside boots may be a good idea to keep your child's shoes/feet dry.  Puddles attract young children :}
