☀️ KEEPING LITTLE ONES COOL DURING THE HEATWAVE ☀️

At Grown in Harmony, we believe some of the best learning happens through play, exploration and connection with nature.


With temperatures soaring, it's important to help little ones stay cool while still enjoying all the benefits of outdoor discovery.


❄️ Try an Ice Treasure Hunt ❄️

Freeze flowers, leaves, herbs, berries or fruit slices into ice cubes and let children explore as the ice melts.


This simple activity encourages:

🌿 Sensory exploration

🌼 Curiosity about nature

🧊 Fine motor skills

💚 Mindful, child-led play


Other great ways to stay cool include:

💦 Water painting with brushes and buckets

🌸 Making nature soup with petals and leaves

🚿 Splash play in paddling pools or sprinklers

🍉 Enjoying chilled fruit snacks

🌳 Finding shady spots for stories and quiet play


Heatwave reminders:

☀️ Keep children hydrated.

☀️ Stay in the shade where possible.

☀️ Avoid outdoor play during the hottest part of the day.

☀️ Dress children in lightweight, breathable clothing and sun hats.

☀️ Apply and regularly reapply sunscreen.


Sometimes the simplest activities create the biggest smiles.


How are your little ones staying cool this week? We'd love to hear your favourite heatwave activities below. 👇
