Bring on the rain! Are you looking for the perfect garment for school, and to keep kids warm and dry as they explore the great outdoors during the colder months? Well, it's a good thing they did, because founded on a farm in Devon nearly 20 years ago, Muddy Puddles is a Playtime brand that's passionate about letting kids enjoy the great outdoors in all kinds of weather.

Muddy Puddles

Their classic Originals jacket featured here is waterproof and breathable, perfect for outdoor play and forest school. This jacket is part of the best-selling Originals collection, designed to keep young adventurers dry in any weather. Its convenient semi-elastic hood allows for head coverage for little ones. The jacket is unlined, so it can be worn comfortably over clothing. Waterproof, breathable, longer in the back, perfect for sitting on wet benches!

Muddy Puddles creates outerwear that inspires kids to step out into life with confidence and independence. That means the freedom to take risks, know your limits and use your imagination. 2021 is the year Muddy Puddles is making a greater commitment to its sustainability promise, and starting this fall, their clothing will use an eco-friendly, waterproof, fluoride-free Bionic finish.
The brand's products still offer exceptional technical performance, bright and bold unisex designs, and the bonus of durability and affordable pricing.

Accessorize the Extremities with Fairechild

In your selection of outdoor children's fashion, don't forget essentials like gloves, mittens, hats and warm socks, especially on cold days. Getting dressed to go out and play in nature can be a real human and creative experience when you turn to a committed and forward-thinking brand like Fairechild!

Fairechild

Realizing that in the face of change, our children have shown consistent fortitude, reminding us that any time spent outdoors, whether in a compact yard or an overgrown field, is a source of joy, Fairechild has created an AW21 collection of waterproof outerwear designed for daily contact with nature.

We have selected in this Fairechild AW21 collection, a fisherman hat and mittens. Two products 100% recycled, waterproof, windproof, machine washable, breathable, dirt repellant, made in Canada!

Fairechild

The Mitten is a 100% waterproof and gender-neutral solution for cold little hands. Layer with your own wool or fleece mitten for your required level of insulation as the seasons change. Extending to mid-forearm, these mittens will protect children’s hands and wrists from the rain and snow. Elastic keeps the fit snug.

The Sou'wester is styled after traditional fishers hats. A cutaway brim shields the face and provides extra coverage to the neck area. Thanks to Fairechild’s signature 100% waterproof fabric, the Sou'wester will protect children’s head and neck from the rain and snow. Made with an elastic to ensure that the fit is snug for children ages approximately three through ten.

Fairechild embraces a cradle-to-cradle philosophy; each of their garments is handcrafted from recycled materials and is completely recyclable. They aim to nurture joyous, mindful adventuring by providing responsibly made outerwear.

Have a look at their AW21 collection on the Playtime marketplace and choose from a range of cheerful, earthy hues in designs inspired by traditional workwear. Immediate delivery available.



Sell Clothing for Sun Protection with Solette

Kids have thinner, more sensitive skin than adults, so it’s important to think about their exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays any time they’re outdoors. Clothing is a very effective way to add protection, and buying clothes that have an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating assures you of the protection it’s providing.

Solette

And guess what, we’ve just welcomed a new brand on the Playtime marketplace named Solette… and Solette's rashguard is a long-sleeved t-shirt with a ventral zip allowing children to put it on and take it off easily. They absolutely love this and it is perfect for both swimming and the outdoors!

And all you have to do is choose the pattern and color of the jackets you want to put in your window!
The flagship model of the Puffins sun safe swimwear line is a sailor shirt, a typical model of the French wardrobe, available in royal blue and water green punctuated by small puffins with coral beaks, which seem to play hide and seek between the stripes.
The fabric of the sun safe t-shirt comes from plastic bottle recycling and is made of 78% recycled polyester and 22% elastane. Items are certified UPF 50+& Oeko-Tex, and made in France.

If you couldn't make your choice in the models... take them all. They are available on the Playtime marketplace.



Be brilliant and safe with Swanmimi

When the days get shorter and the night sets in in the morning and evening, it's time to think about reflectivity for kids driving home from school.
