In Sweden all the supplies needed for activities and daily operations are provided by the school. They don’t need more markers—what they want is children who can play outside in all types of weather. Which prompts this list of recommended supplies for winter: • Thick mittens (two pairs) • Woolen socks • Winter coveralls • Thick sweater/fleece • Warm hat • Rain gear • Rain boots • Complete change of clothes for indoor use And, at the end, a cheery reminder: “We go outside rain or shine!”
