The nature of magic has not been studied, but what else can explain the transformation of streets in the winter season? One morning you wake up, go out into the street and freeze with delight - everything is frozen and the sun is blindingly shining. Where does the mischief with which you step from the well-trodden path into untouched snow and take a couple of steps comes from? Admit it, I really want to dive into a snowdrift and lie around. But you are an adult!.. This is not accepted. Good news: in a company with a crumb, all this is not even necessary!
The very first walk
Babies who were born in the winter season have a lot of advantages. Such kids have stronger character and health. But mothers treat them as helpless, weak creatures, and protect them from everything. Including fresh air. But even if the baby was born in winter, and the outside temperature is freezing, it should not be deprived of fresh air.
Is the baby a week old? He can walk! Of course, if the street is not lower than -10 ° C. The duration of the first walk is 5-10 minutes. Time needs to be increased constantly. Especially for young mothers, clothing manufacturers have developed babywearing jackets (for a child, such a jacket has a separate hood and a place like a sling). In addition, contact with mom allows the baby to feel protected.
The kid is exploring the world
From the moment the baby learns to sit down on its own, your walks will change. Now you can't put the baby in and wrap it up tightly in an envelope. He no longer sleeps on the street, but looks with all his eyes. You have to take it out of the stroller, at the same time move the child's transport and carry the baby in rather bulky clothes … Is this a familiar picture? We give a hint: the child needs a quick change of pictures and a meaningful activity. That is, mommy should talk about something very exciting and at the same time demonstrate something from time to time. Make snowballs and let the kid touch them, draw various pictures with a stick in the snow.
Playing in the snow
In frosty weather and the absence of wet snow, the baby can be safely released from the hands and allowed to crawl a little. Just make sure that the baby does not sit in one place. And of course, leave such experiments at the end of the walk. 5-10 minutes - and immediately go home, warm up and dry the mittens.
As for the kids who are already taking their first steps, then a period of exploration and discovery begins for them. A smart kid will climb into a snowdrift and taste the snow. Take out a car, a bucket, molds and a scoop from the pallet of the stroller and invite the baby to build a tunnel, clear the path. Make sure that the baby does not take off the mittens, monitor their condition. You should always have spare ones with you so that you can change them immediately after playing with snow.
Alternate between active and passive activities. After the child has digged a little, invite him to run a race.
Fun for the crumbs
There is not much fun for a baby in winter, but a dreamer mom will definitely come up with. Show your little one how to make their own snowfall. Let the twig touch and shake it a little. Take a little snow from the snowdrift in your hands and bring it to the little bitty, let it shake it off to the ground. You can also arrange a snow-white fireworks. Throw up a fluffy mass and substitute cheeks under it.
Another feasible activity for the baby is to insert small twigs into the snowballs that mom made. Just make sure that the crumb does not get hurt by them.
