Your Go-To Place for Waterproof Forest School Clothing
At Dry Kids, we pride ourselves on being the leading provider of waterproof forest school clothing. Our commitment to quality, durability, and comfort ensures that your children can fully enjoy their forest school experiences without worrying about getting wet or uncomfortable. Here’s why our clothing is essential for your child’s forest school adventures.
What is a Forest School?
Forest schools are an innovative approach to education, utilizing the natural environment to foster learning and development. Originating from Scandinavia, forest schools help children connect with nature while building essential skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience. Activities include building shelters, exploring wildlife, and crafting with natural materials, providing children with a hands-on and immersive learning experience.
The Importance of Quality Forest School Clothing
Given the immersive and often muddy nature of forest schools, having the right clothing is crucial. Proper forest school clothing ensures that children stay dry, warm, and comfortable, enabling them to fully engage in all activities. Waterproof, durable, and breathable clothes are key to providing the best experience, allowing children to explore and learn without restrictions.
What Should a Child Wear to a Forest School?
In colder weather, children should wear thermal tops and leggings as base layers, fleece jackets or sweatshirts as mid layers, waterproof jackets and trousers as outer layers, and hats, gloves, and wellies. For warmer weather, lightweight, moisture-wicking tops and leggings, a light fleece or sweatshirt, breathable waterproof jackets and trousers are recommended, and a sun hat and lighter waterproof boots.

At Dry Kids, we offer a comprehensive range of forest school clothes designed to meet these requirements. Our products include durable waterproof jackets and trousers, classic welly boots for muddy adventures, and essential accessories like hi-vis vests, onesies, paint smocks, and PU hats.
