Summer is the first sign that school is over for our kids. This gives them a lot more time to do what they want every day, and that only means they get to play longer hours compared to when they have school.

But as the weather gets warmer, and we noticed that summer has been hotter the past few years compared to our summers as a kid, we should be vigilant in making sure our kids don’t fall victim to dehydration in their free and fun days. Here are 10 ways to keep our children hydrated during summertime.
