โ๏ธ Cold Weather Safety Tips for Kids โ๏ธ
Winter fun is great, but staying warm and safe is key! Here are a few quick reminders to help little ones enjoy the cold comfortably:
๐งฅ Layer up smartly: Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add a warm middle layer (like fleece), and finish with a waterproof outer layer. Layers trap heat and can be adjusted if kids get too warm.
๐งค Cover the extras: Hats, mittens, and warm socks are must-haves! Mittens keep hands warmer than gloves.
๐ถ One-more-layer rule: Infants should wear one more layer than adults in the same weather.
๐ Car seat safety matters: Skip bulky coats in car seats. Buckle the harness snugly, then place a blanket over your child for warmth.
๐ก๏ธ Know the temps: Limit outdoor play when wind chills drop below 20ยฐF. At 0ยฐF, frostbite can happen in minutes.
โฑ๏ธ Keep it short: Outdoor time should be brief....about 10โ15 minutes for toddlers. Check hands, feet, ears, and noses often.
๐จ Watch for warning signs: Shivering, pale or waxy skin, or numbness are red flags. Head indoors right away if you notice any of these.
Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy the winter season! โ๏ธ๐งฃ

โจ Last week, we had some magical holiday elves show up! โจ
Okayโฆ they werenโt really elves ๐ but it sure felt like Christmas around here! A HUGE shout-out to Lonza and their incredible volunteers for rolling up their sleeves and tackling some seriously MAJOR painting projects that have been on our to-do list for way too long.
Your time, energy, and generosity made such a big difference, and our space is already feeling brighter and more welcoming because of you. We are so grateful. Thank you for spreading so much holiday cheer! ๐๐จ๐

๐จโ๏ธ Who says arts and crafts have to stay on paper?
Last week, our kiddos took creativity to a whole new level with their Rainbow Fish project, and this time, the canvas was SNOW! ๐ โจ
They loved watching the colors drip, mix, and swirl across the snow, turning the playground into a magical splash of rainbow art. Not only was it beautiful, but it also sparked curiosity, sensory play, and lots of giggles!
At Seacoast Community School, we love giving children the chance to explore art in fun, unexpected ways. ๐๐
Stay tuned for more creative moments!
