How it works
-
You can make your cocoa at home first and keep it warm in a bottle, or you can take a small stove with you and cook the cocoa outside. Both are great ways to enjoy cocoa outdoors in winter – but kids, please only with the help of an adult.
-
Go outside and find a nice spot. Maybe in the garden, in the woods, on the balcony, or in a park.
-
Take your warm cocoa and sip it slowly. Feel how it warms you from the inside.
-
Look around. You might see birds, icicles, or other kids playing.
-
Enjoy the moment. Feel the cold on your skin and the warmth of the cocoa in your hands. Drinking cocoa outside in winter is so much fun and reminds us how beautiful the little things in life can be.
