Here are a few ideas to get the kids out and about during the summer holidays and don’t cost a fortune, just make sure you have the right Children’s footwear and whatever the weather you can still be active and have fun at the same time.

A trip to your local woodland can provide a great range of activities to keep kids of all ages occupied, So take a leaf out of the Woodland Trust’s box of ideas. Why not organise a ‘Welly Wander’, a chance to get your wellies on and get a little bit muddy and a chance to enjoy the puddles you find along the way, and with the summer we are having this could be ideal. As well as enjoying the puddles you should keep your eyes peeled for slugs and snails; snails hibernate during the winter so this is your best chance to spot them, but slugs love the wet and are out and about whatever the temperature. A pair of Cotswold Rainbow Kids Wellies would be ideal, waterproof and made clear PVC with a flexible PVC sole and a bright rainbow lining, ideal for those puddles.

If you fancy being a detective then why not try and be a ‘Summer Sleuth’, spot signs of animals and insects and discover who’s been moving through the woods, or even your own garden. Remember to use all your senses while you are out and about, look at the trees as well as on the ground, and don’t forget to stop and listen – what can you hear? So a chance to explore under logs and leaf litter, to listen out for birdsong and to keep your eyes peeled for wildlife around ponds. A pair of Regatta Garsdale Low Walking Shoes would make a great choice, being made from PU nubuck and having a breathable mesh upper. They are seam sealed and incorporate a breathable internal membrane liner, with a deep padded collar and tongue for comfort and rubberised toe and heel bumpers for additional durability, so will stand up to all kinds of activity.

So make sure they are wearing the right children’s footwear, check the full range we have available on the website and see what you can find if you go down to the woods today.
