Find out how to stay cool this summer with these tips for you and your kids.
Summer is here and temperatures are heating up. Staying cool this summer can be a challenge. While a dip in the pool or a trip to the beach can be excellent ways to cool off this summer, sometimes it’s important to mix things up a bit. Get creative when it comes to finding a little relief from the heat this summer. Check out these ways to beat the heat with your kids.
Make Homemade Popsicles.
What better way to cool off than to eat a sweet treat? Popsicles offer you the ability to enjoy a chilly dessert to help you stay cool. Opt for a healthier no-sugar added popsicle, or make your own. Choose a no-sugar added natural fruit juice and pour some into paper cups. Add a popsicle stick and freeze overnight. You’re then able to enjoy these popsicles with your kids.
Avoid Cooking.
Using a hot stove or oven increases the temperature of your home, making an already warm day feel even hotter. Avoid cooking a meal and instead, prepare a meal without having to use the stove. Get creative in the kitchen with your kids by making salads and sandwiches as you teach them about food and nutrition.
Water Fun & Games.
Venturing to the pool or beach can be time intensive. Help your kids find fun ways to cool off at home with water-oriented games. From slip and slides to water balloons to kiddie pools, there are lots of options to help you entertain your kids while helping them beat the heat this summer.
