HELPFUL HINTS

Dress in layers so you can remove clothing as the day warms up. Change clothes (especially socks) before going to bed.

Sweat shirts/pants make great pajama’s in cold weather. Cover the feet with a warm pair of socks and, if really cold, wear
a stoking camp over the head and ears and you’ll be “snug as a bug”.

Adult size leg warmers over the outside of girls pants work like ‘long johns’ for warmth.

Even in the lightest drizzle, have the girls wear rain gear in order to keep coats and clothing dry.

Light colors are best in the heat because they reflect the sun’s rays.

Wearing a hat keeps girls’ heads cool while protecting against sunburn in the hair part.

Halter tops/ spaghetti straps should not be worn; shoulders will sun burn.
