The right clothing: Warm and functional

A winter walk starts with the right clothing. This is where the tried and tested onion principle comes into play:

  • Base layer: A breathable undershirt and thermal leggings to wick away moisture.
  • Middle layer: Warm fleece or wool sweaters and pants for insulation.
  • Outer layer: A windproof and waterproof winter jacket and snow or mud pants for optimum protection from the wet.

Don't forget a hat, scarf and gloves - they keep sensitive parts of the body warm.

Warm and safe shoes: the basis for every adventure

Feet are particularly sensitive in cold weather. This is where the Affenzahn winter shoes make all the difference!

  • Waterproof and breathable: Thanks to high-quality materials, feet stay dry and warm, even when the snow melts.
  • Non-slip soles: The specially developed barefoot sole ensures a secure grip on slippery surfaces.
  • Lightweight and flexible: Children can move freely without having to wear heavy shoes on their feet.

The Affenzahn winter shoes are not only functional, but also available in many colorful designs that children love.

Safety in the snow: what you should look out for

To be safe on the road, you should avoid icy surfaces as much as possible and use well-cleared or gritted paths instead of unsafe sections. Especially at dusk or in cloudy weather, it is important that children are clearly visible. Bright clothing or reflective details on jackets and hats ensure that they can be spotted quickly, even from a distance. Also, don't forget to take regular breaks. The cold and running around in the snow require a lot of energy. A short break with a warm drink or a fortifying snack will give you new strength and keep your spirits up so that the winter fun remains undimmed.

Ideas for winter fun on the go

A winter walk doesn't just have to consist of walking - combine it with fun activities:

  • Snowball fight: A classic that brings exercise and fun.
  • Reading tracks: Discover animal and footprints in the snow together.
  • Snow angels and snowmen: Creativity and fun for in between.

This makes the walk an unforgettable experience for the whole family!

After the walk: warming up at home

After an adventure in the snow, it's good to warm up with hot chocolate or tea. Snuggle up together on the sofa and relax at the end of the day.

For creative kids, a little craft session is ideal, for example making snowflakes out of paper or painting found objects from nature. Alternatively, a picture book or a family game will create a cozy atmosphere.

Don't forget to swap damp clothes for something warm straight away - that way, no one will stay chilled for long. A relaxed evening is the perfect end to an exciting winter's day!

A winter walk with children is a wonderful way to enjoy the cold season to the full. With the right clothing, warm and non-slip shoes such as the Affenzahn winter shoes and a few creative ideas, every outing in the snow becomes a highlight - safe, warm and full of fun!
