Hi hi!! If you're like me and hot weather makes you wanna melt into a puddle and cry, here’s a soft lil guide for staying cool, happy, and safe this summer while regressed! 🌈🍼 Whether you're inside or wanna be brave and go out, you deserve to feel good.
🍓 Inside Tips: Staying Cool While Playing Indoors
🧃 Keep a cold drink nearby — water, juice, or popsicles in a cup with a straw/sippy! Add frozen fruit for fun!
❄️ Mini fan or cooling towel — having a fan blow on your face while cuddling a plushie = instant relief
🛁 Take a cool bath with toys — bath crayons, rubber duckies, or safe water play in a bowl/sink!
🧸 Light clothes or just a diaper/pajamas — it’s okay to be comfy! Big clothes trap heat!
🎨 Indoor activities — coloring, sticker books, cartoons, sensory bins with cold rice or jelly!
🍉 Outside Tips: If You Wanna Go Play!
☀️ Go out early or late — try playing in the morning or evening when the sun isn’t mean
👒 Wear a hat + sunscreen — sunburns = ouch. hats = shade for your squishy face
💦 Water play!! — splash pads, hose fun, spray bottles, or a bowl of cold water with toys
🍦 Cold treats — popsicles, frozen yogurt tubes, frozen grapes in a cute bowl!
🌳 Shade naps — blanket under a tree? yes pls.
Drink water even if you don’t feel thirsty
Take breaks when you get too warm or overstimmed
It’s okay to stay inside if the heat is too much
You deserve to feel safe and comfy, always !! 🧸
