Back to School with Bumkins Review

Bumkins Art Smock for Pre-School

Children of all ages are gearing up to head back to school. While you’re busy gathering your lists for rulers, pencils and backpacks for school aged children, it’s easy to forget about the little ones at home that are left missing all the excitement of a new school year. For moms with pre-schoolers and toddlers waiting their turn, a great way to get them included in the fun of learning is by shopping for some at home supplies.

Today I want to introduce you to Bumkins, a mom owned company that offers fine baby and children’s products designed for practicality.

As many of you know, we have a 2 year old that isn’t quite ready to start preschool yet but doesn’t want to miss the fun of shopping for school supplies. While her big brother heads back to the classroom, Kaydence will be at home learning the basics of coloring, painting and all of the fun but messy activities. Getting started a bit early, we got out the markers and lots of paper to have a little afternoon fun.

The one thing I’m not a fan of is the mess that markers leave behind on my toddlers clothes.

Bumkins came to the rescue with something new and practical for messy toddler activities – the toddler art smock. Available in 26 modern and fun designs, we’ve found it to be perfect for protecting her clothes. The smock easily slides over her outfit with a tie closure around the neck and the waterproof fabric makes it even easier for cleanup. I loved being able to just grab a damp cloth to wipe it down and not have to worry about how I would get stains out of her shirt.

    I have to say your daughters hair is the absolute cutest in the world. She is so darn adorable.
    As for how to get stains out of clothes…Uhh..I just started throwing them away..Then again Sarah is 5 months and has enough clothes to last till she’s 12 months and probably would only have to wear each outfit twice LOL..just a little spoiled.
    However that smock woudl be perfect for my 3 year old niece….:)
