    Summer Fun with the Little One

    The warm weather has finally arrived and parents everywhere are looking to make this summer one for the memory books. Summer always seems to fly by, with work, chores and family vacations taking priority throughout the warm months. In order to take full advantage of everything the season has to offer, Huggies is helping Moms and Dads beat the heat with a variety of fun and easy summertime activities.

    1. Take family activities outdoors Whether it’s family dinners on the patio, reading baby’s favorite story under a shady tree, or stargazing at night, remember to get outside and enjoy the beautiful summer weather with the family.

    2. Incorporate summer styles Huggies is helping little ones achieve the perfect denim-clad summer wardrobe by bringing back Huggies Little Movers Jeans Diapers. Not only will babies be rocking the hottest summer fashion, but they will also be helping diaper a baby in need. Moms can share their support by uploading a photo of their little one sporting the fashionable denim diaper at www.Huggies.com. For each photo uploaded or photo “liked” Huggies will help a baby in need by donating to Every Little Bottom.

    3. Just add water It’s important to keep cool while enjoying a day outdoors in the hot summer sun. Think about breaking out the baby pool, sprinkler or hose, and incorporate bubbles or buckets for extra fun.

    4. Introduce texture Introducing a baby to the many fun textures of summer is important to the growing senses. Whether it’s sand, grass or finger paint, the opportunities to expand baby’s experiences grow greatly in the summer months. Try walking in a park, playing in the sandbox or touching garden flowers.

    5. Start a garden Find a small part of the yard and buy seeds for easy-to-grow vegetables, herbs and fruit. Little ones will enjoy the dirt’s texture and they will absolutely love watching the garden grow right in front of their eyes.

    6. Sing, dance and laugh Break out the music and entertain little ones with singing and dancing in the yard. This is a great way to stimulate a baby’s imagination while allowing them to do what they do best, wiggle and bounce to the beat. Laughing and giggling helps create an unbreakable bond between parent and child.

    7. Start a summer scrapbook Blue skies, sunny days and blooming flowers provide the perfect photo backdrop, so remember to capture each moment. Consider adding a photo of your little cutie in a denim diaper. Better yet, upload a photo of your little one on www.Huggies.com and share with family and friends, while helping to diaper a baby in need. From a baby’s first picnic to their first glance of a firefly, these first smiles and flashes of curiosity are pictures that will be priceless for years to come.
