children's umbrellas

5.7.11 • , , , , , , •

yes it's summer but consider these facts...a) it's been unseasonably wet, b) it's better to be prepared for rain before you actually get wet, and c) kids love a brollie whatever the weather. and so today I give to you my pick of the best umbrellas...

dirt is good yadda, yadda, yadda, but so is a good bath at the end of the day and it's quite nice to have a clean shiny child (for a few moments at least). need to add a bit more fun into the scrubbing process...monkey meet frog. frog meet monkey...let the puppet show commence!

stacking cups are a bit of a must-have toy. a happy time can be spent making tall towers or fitting one inside the other. great in the bath and in the sandpit (and they prove quite useful as an emergency bowl when out and about at mealtimes too)
