Freyja Fox Coloring Pages: Winter Layers

Frejya Fox is spending a wintery day outside and she’s going to need warm clothes! Brrrrr. Cut out and color in Frejya. She is our version of a “paper doll” but we think all kids (and maybe some adults?!) will enjoy this fun activity. Click on our 3 free, downloadable coloring pages at the end of the article.

We’ve also included handy, winter layering guidelines. Where we live, the arctic winds often blow, so we usually suggest taking that into account before heading outside! If you plan on being active, you’ll need less layers. Start out cool as once you start moving, you’ll get toasty. You want to feel “just right”!

Three layers is usually enough. If you plan on being moderately active, it’s easiest to carry a small daypack and add/remove layers as needed. Start with base layers made of synthetic or wool blend fibers. Most people recognize these as thermal underwear. Add light-medium weight, insulated, mid-layer top and bottom. Finally, add your outerwear - a shell jacket and ski or snow pants. Avoid down fill if you’re active as it takes a while to dry when wet. A mitten/glove combo is recommended so that you can handle things without fully exposing skin. Consider wearing winter boots that come with a rating vs something that is designed for errands around town. Wear a size that is 1/2 size larger for socks and warm air flow.

A partial or full face mask is highly recommended to prevent frostbite. Sometimes we add ski goggles for full face coverage.
