How To Dress Your Child For Forest School

[@FlyinRyan0802]

I think this is the 5th or 6th video of yours I’ve watched in a row. I’ve really enjoyed them! I first started with the Osprey Poco review as we’ve just purchased one to use with my 2yr old son and his soon to arrive baby brother (when he’s big enough of course). Outside of the Osprey Poco, you’ve now got me thinking about how we’ll keep the boys warm this winter as we, hopefully, get outside for some hikes and general outdoor fun. Great information packaged into short, concise videos. Thank you!

Hi Ryan, thank you so much for your feedback, it's made my day! We've been running our KZbin channel for about six months, learning as we go, so it really is great to hear that our videos are useful. Good luck with the hiking, if you ever want any help or advice on kitting out your kids please give me a call! All the best, Rebecca

@@LittleAdventureShop Thank you Rebecca. If we were closer, we'd stop by your shop. Too bad we're not in the UK and/or you're not in the Midwest USA :D

Thank you for the informative video! I'm hoping to send my son to a forest school nursery in September. Why do you advise against a cotton base layer?

[@LittleAdventureShop]

Hi, the main reason cotton isn't great as a baselayer is that it absorbs water and so if it gets wet it sticks to the skin and can be cold and uncomfortable. Synthetic fabrics don't absorb water (think how light a fleece jumper is when compared to a cotton sweatshirt when you get it out of the washing machine). Also cotton isn't that good at capturing heat - wool or synthetic thermals are much better at this.

Hi, I’m new to your channel. Do you know where can I buy good clothes for forest school for parents?

[@LittleAdventureShop]

Hi, thanks for your question. We specialise in kids gear, but I think any adult outdoor shop would be good for getting adult gear.. Unlike the children's waterproofs I would definitely look for waterproofs and breathable outerwear and again like for the kids layer up underneath to suit the conditions.
