On Carnival, warm clothing is a must for children. Because during the parades they spend a lot of time in the fresh air. Low temperatures, rainy weather and mass accumulation provide the ideal breeding ground for a flu infection. Therefore, parents should make sure that they are dressed warm enough when choosing the costume for their children. The news agency „dpa“ Talked to the Nutrition and Exercise Platform about the best carnival disguises for kids.

Parents should warm their children on Carnival. Even if the princess or ballerina costume is still so enticing for the little ones, both should only be worn in combination with thick tights, jacket, sturdy shoes, gloves, hat and scarf. This is indicated by the platform for nutrition and exercise. The experts therefore advise to think already in the choice of costume to the cold cold temperatures at the street carnival. The cheeks in the animal costume are especially warm. For those who disguise themselves as tigers, lions or bears can wear a thick suit made of plush or animal-fur imitation, which also covers the head. Otherwise, a wig will help keep your head warm.

Children who are dressed as firefighters and police officers can also be dressed warmly with simple means. If the costume is bought a little larger or sewn, fits a warm jacket underneath.

For carnival makeup parents should pay attention to quality. The consumer center of North Rhine-Westphalia advises certified products bearing the BDIH or Nature seal. These can be seen on the woman's face in the profile on the packaging. The seal points to make-up, which is free of paraffins, silicones and polyethylene glycols (PEG). (Ag)
