Heat changes everything about snacking, starting with how much water kids need. A few rules help you stay ahead of it.

Water first

Make sure kids have water before, during and after play, and build in shade breaks. Most kids will not ask until they are already thirsty. A marked bottle helps them keep track.

Keep snacks light

Fruit and small snacks are easier on a hot stomach than heavy ones. Cold grapes, orange slices and small bags of crackers are popular. A serving of protein gummies is light too, at five gummies.

Store snacks properly

Heat softens gummies and melts chocolate. Use an insulated pouch, keep snacks in the shade and bring a small cooler for the whole team if you can.

Know the warning signs

If a child seems dizzy, unusually tired or unwell in the heat, stop play and get help. Talk to your pediatrician about heat safety for your child. Related reading: How to avoid doubling up on supplements on vitamindgummiesforkids.com.
