How can you prepare for outdoor activities?

  • Before outdoor physical activities, children should drink water freely, and definitely shouldn't go outside already thirsty.
  • Clothing should be lightweight and cover as much of their skin as possible.
  • All exposed skin should be covered with a safe sunscreen of at least 30 SPF that protects against UVA and UVB rays (be sure to avoid harmful sunscreens and don't forget to reapply!).
  • Eyes should be covered with a pair of sunglasses that provide 100 percent UV protection.
