Here are the best rain jackets to get for your kids so that they can continue enjoying their active life in the rain or shine.

Columbia Glennaker Rain Jacket

Still, with its detachable hood, this can also be used as a stylish jacket that your kids could wear at a party or at lunch or dinner with the family without a hood getting in the way.

]]> When your kid comes back from playing outside with a new rip in the knee or elbow of their clothes, it can be tempting to despair and add it to an ever-growing pile of their clothing that needs repairing. All too often, these clothes get discarded and new ones bought in their place, but this is ultimately an unsustainable and costly approach. By learning some simple sewing skills, you can quickly mend minor rips and tears and extend the wear of your kid’s clothing.

Patch a Hole

If there are small holes developing in your child’s clothes, learning to patch these is an essential skill. There are plenty of easy to follow videos on YouTube, so this is a good starting point. Make sure you have a sharp, slim needle, as a large one will make the holes worse, and select a thread that’s as close as possible in color to the fabric of the clothing. You are aiming to create a patch over the hole constructed from the thread, rather than trying to close the hole, as this will make the fabric bunch and look misshapen.

Re-Hem

Knowing how to re-hem a pair of pants or a sleeve on a shirt is a great skill, especially as these are often the parts of clothing that kids wear or get very scruffy. Make sure you watch a good tutorial before starting, and a decent pair of dressmaking scissors are essential so that you can cleanly cut through the fabric you want to re-hem.

Replacing Buttons

Replacing buttons is one of the easiest sewing tasks, but you do need to make sure that you securely attach the buttons, without stitching them on so tightly that your child can’t manipulate them or close them. Crossing the thread over itself and looping the needle underneath the thread as you stitch the button on will ensure that it is securely fastened and unlikely to come loose again.

]]> If your child has suddenly taken an interest in what clothes they wear, then you should view this in a positive light. Here’s why it’s important.

It’s a Great Way for Them to Express Themselves

It’s good to appreciate this experience for what it is—your child working out what feels like them and what doesn’t. Being interested in clothes is often seen as shallow or trivial, but it’s a very personal expression of one’s creative self and should be celebrated as such.

It Will Be Easier When Shopping for Them

If you’re used to dragging your kid around shops when they need new clothes, this will be a lifesaver. Having them be interested and involved with their clothes shopping will make the experience much easier for both of you. 

This Can Be an Easy and Fun Gift Idea

This goes for yourself but also extended family members. So many people struggle to know what to buy for young kids, so if you can tell them certain patterns or styles of clothing that your child seems to love, this is an easy starting point and gives people room to personalize their gifts.

]]> The tricky thing about children’s clothing is that they grow out of it so fast, and spending a fortune on their wardrobe usually isn’t worth it. There are several notable exceptions to this rule, and we’re bringing you three clothing items that are always worth paying a little bit extra.

Footwear

Quality footwear is essential for your child’s foot health because it’s meant to provide proper support and comfort, so don’t be cheap when buying it. Look for supportive and durable shoes that your kid will feel comfortable in and make sure that the quality matches the price.

Outwear

Jackets, raincoats, and winter coats usually don’t come cheap – but they’re worth every dime. They’ll keep your child warm, comfortable, and dry during fall and winter, helping them keep cold at bay, so don’t be afraid to spend extra money when buying them. Even once your child grows out of them, you’ll most likely be able to sell them because they’ll be gently worn.

Backpacks

If your kid already reached school age, you’ll have to buy them a backpack, and quality models don’t come cheap. Luckily, they’ll be worth the price, because a sturdy and long-lasting backpack can be worn for years and it will provide necessary back support to your child.

]]> Every parent eventually reaches the point where their kids just refuse to dress in the clothes that have been picked out for them. If you find yourself constantly arguing with your little ones about the clothes they want to wear, here are three reasons why you should consider letting them make their own choice.

Budgeting & Decisions Making

Letting your kids choose their own clothes doesn’t necessarily mean they can buy whatever they want to. Setting a budget for them is a great way to teach them about money management and decision-making because they’ll have to figure out how to pick quality items that fit into their wardrobe – and budget.

Avoiding Complaints

You know that feeling when you’re trying to dress your child, and you end up in a huge argument because they don’t want to wear clothes that you’ve picked for them? You can avoid this issue by giving your kids the freedom to pick their own clothes because they won’t have much to complain about when the choice is theirs.

Promoting Self-Expression

Kids enjoy picking their own clothes because it allows them to express their individuality and interests. They can explore their own sense of style and creativity, picking clothes in bold colors and with fun prints and patterns to tell the world who they are and what they like.
