Best outdoor activities for your little ones this summer ☀️
27Jul
Summer is finally here and it’s time to enjoy the sunshine, warmth and outdoor spaces the brilliant UK has to offer.
It's not called fun in the sun for nothing! Summer is the perfect time to spend hours outdoors soaking up that glorious sunshine. If you are heading out this summer with the whole family, don't forget to pack your Xplora smartwatch to keep in touch with your little ones whilst they're out and about! Here are a few more tips when you're out on a sunny, hot day:
- Head outdoors first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon evening
- Set up a play area in the shade for kids
- Put umbrellas up over water tables and sand pits to provide shade throughout the day
- Keep hand misters/fans available to cool down
- Pack some ice lollies in a cool box to stay cool and hydrated
- Don’t forget a sun hat!
- Set up a drinks station where even the little kids can help themselves to water
