The year we have a wonderful line of holiday applique designs for girls and boys.

As promised, we also have a style that is PERFECT for when it is truly cold outside, this year we came our with a line of tracksuits, and boy do we love them! They are made with a minky fabric which is pretty much a blanket, I don’t know about you but a wearable blanket?! SIGN ME UP!  One of our favorite details on these track suits is the fact that the zipper is the same color as the outfit and is very discreet when zipped. They also feature a hoodie which is just oh so cute! Check out the tracksuits for girls below.

Summer must-have styles!

Summer styles can get SO overwhelming because let’s face it.. they are all amazing! Summer is my favorite season so I might be a little biased but I can’t get enough of the vibrant colors and breezy fabrics. As well as the lighter palettes of white and neutral tones that have a fresh feel. In trying to make things easier for you we decided to collect our must have summer styles from This and That for Kids!

Let’s start with an obvious…BATHING SUITS! A little girl in a two piece bathing suit is so stinkin’ cute! Whats not so cute is when the top starts moving around a gets a little too revealing, as well as uncomfortable! This and That for Kids bathings suits feature a lengthy top with smocked details and a ruffle for extra coverage. The top is fully adjustable as it ties both at the neck and around the back.

And of course we have the little men covered as well! With matching boys swim trunks also available at This and That for Kids get ready for the best and cutest summer ever! They are comfortable and cute for any beach or pool day. The fabric content is 45% polyester, 55% cotton. They drawstring allows for a comfortable and secure fit.

Next up we have one of our newest additions, our Hand Smocked watermelon styles! Our favorite thing about this style is the combination of the red and pink in the fabric with the touch of white to break it up. Being that it is summer, the angel sleeves with pink ric-rac are a nice touch as it will keep your daughter cool on hot summer days. We recommend a red bow with this outfit but a pink or even green bow will also be a great finishing touch.

Now let’s take it down to those neutral tones I mentioned earlier. Our Hand Smocked Sea Shell Collection features a light blue fabric with white sea shells. This particular style comes in so many styles that there are options for kids of any age, making it the perfect outfit for a family photo! These styles are all comfortable for the hot summer days because of the design of the sleeves on the girl styles and the lack there of on the boy styles! The fabric is a lightweight pique fabric to ensure breathability.

And lastly we will take the colors back up a notch with one of our favorite newest additions! Our octopus and friends… the name alone shows just how playful and fun the hand smocked detailing on this style is! The girls outfits are made from a turquoise blue polka dot fabric with angel sleeves and pink trim while the boys overall has a micro check fabric in the same turquoise as the girls. All the sea animals featured are different colors on both the girl and boy variations! And we think the girl styles look adorable with a pink hair bow! The boy overall has the option for a white peter pan collar shirt which makes it great for transitioning from a hot summer day to a cool summer night!

Fake it ’til you make it!

Alright, the first step is admitting it right? Our children aren’t ACTUALLY royalty.

There I said it.

You’re little prince isn’t really a prince, and as charming and adorable as she may be, your princess isn’t a real princess either (but don’t tell her that!).

Just because this is the harsh reality it doesn’t mean they can’t be dressed like heirs to the thrown! Let’s take a look at the handsome little Prince George

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

He has definitely won over the hearts of many in his stylish smocked outfits and why wouldn’t he? Its such a timeless look. Our favorite thing about children in smock is that the outfits can be passed down from generation to generation! Take a look at this side by side of sweet Prince George and his father in similar outfits

Although those aren’t the same outfits it does enforce the fact that if saved these outfits are timeless! Imagine how sweet it will be when you see your grandchildren in something you purchased for your own child years before!

Here are some hand smocked boys outfits we recommend to get your boy looking like royalty!

 

 

This Hand Smocked Beige Geometric Boy’s Overall screams royalty. It’s simple and elegant, making it the perfect outfit for any occasion, and any generation. Pair it with a shirt underneath for colder days or leave it as is for the summer months.

 

 

 

 

Prince George is a perfect symbol for Cambridge but let your little guy stand tall and proud in our Hand Smocked American Flag Overall. This boys overall would be perfect for Memorial Day, Independence Day, President’s day, and all summer long!

 

 

 

If you are digging Prince George’s nautical look head over to This and That for Kids where are newest collection is full of Hand Smocked Boys summer styles. The particular overall is our Hand Smocked Nautical Boy’s Overall which features a sailboat just like the prince! The blue gingham fabric and nautical details are sure to look cute anywhere you go!

 

 

We hope you guys have enjoyed this post and found some inspiration on dressing your little guy like the Prince you truly believe he is!

XOXO,

Easter Blessings & Ideas

We cannot thank you guys enough for all the support over the last month or so and are so happy you have all loved our Easter collection. We wanted to make sure everyone was covered for Easter no matter how much you may have put it off so we hosted sales to the very last minute! Happy to say, all orders made it on time! Here are some adorable pics that have already started coming in, we hope that you will send us pictures of your kids in their This and That for Kids Easter outfits!

(click to enlarge)

There is nothing better than Easter with little ones around! The excitement in the morning to open their Easter baskets, the joy that comes from Easter egg hunts and, we may be biased but, seeing all the little ones in their adorable easter outfits definitely tops the list!

We love getting together with family and friends every easter and watching the kids play and have a good time. The kids, of course, are just counting down the minutes until the Easter egg hunt! Below are some great ideas we have found for a successful egg hunt this year!

This first tip is great if you don’t have too many kids participating, as well as when you have kids of different ages. The older kids tend to be better and quicker at finding eggs which can sometimes be unfair to the younger kids. To avoid this from happening, assign a specific color to each child and they can only collect eggs of their color! With this tip you can also tailor what’s inside the eggs for the child that will be collecting it!

Another fun thing to do is put a number inside an egg, the number will then correspond to a special prize AKA a toy or candy that didn’t fit inside the egg.

If you want to challenge and engage the kids a little more you can turn the Easter egg hunt into a scavenger hunt! Still sprinkle eggs around the yard but also provide a list with different things for them to find throughout their egg hunt. Examples would be to find a flower, a specific color egg, a pinecone, etc. You can award a special prize to the first kid to complete the scavenger hunt!

If you really want to switch things up, host a glow in the dark hunt! Fill the eggs with glow sticks and hide them around the yard, when it gets dark enough the eggs will stand out and the kids will have a blast!

And finally, something we did as a family when some of the kids got older was have them hide the eggs for the younger kids! This is a fun way to keep everyone involved in the tradition!

One more thing to do this Easter, make sure to snap a picture and send them to customercare@thisandthatforkids.com or post the to our facebook page or tag us on instagram! Can’t wait to see them and we hope you have a happy and bless Easter Sunday!

XOXO,

This and That for Kids!

Fast Shipping GUARANTEED

…and ALWAYS shipping!

Here at This and That For Kids we are online consumers just like all of you. We know what it is to order something online and wish you could receive it the very next day… ok let’s be honest in a perfect world we would receive it 5 minutes after placing the order!

We also know what its like to decide last minute to order an item for a specific occasion and worry about whether or not it will arrive on time. Checking the tracking information every five minutes to see exactly where your package is. Has it left the warehouse? Is it on the truck? Did it get to my house? You can feel at ease when ordering with us, and if you are unsure whether it will truly make it on time or not just call us and we can make the decision together about whether or not it is too late to order.

Being that we know this feeling of anticipation we want to make your waiting time as short as possible even with monogrammed pieces. How do we make this possible? We have a team working around the clock focused solely on pulling and shipping your orders. Aside from that we have our monogram specialist who is also working around the clock making sure each and every piece is just as special as the customer who will be receiving it.

We refuse to sell pieces that we don’t have in stock and ready to ship. Things happen, we don’t control the weather or manufacturing delays therefore we can’t risk our good name and promise of fast shipping by relying on an estimated time of arrival. If it isn’t in our hand it won’t be on our site!

Aside from our quick turn around we also offer free or low shipping costs depending on your order. We know what it’s like to get a little carried away in ordering online and then noticing outrageous shipping fees and quickly exiting the browser and getting nothing at all, and thats no fun!

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, we pride ourselves on great customer service and strongly feel that quick shipping goes hand in hand with that. We hope you have been and continue to be satisfied with our quick turnaround time.

XOXO,

This and That For Kids

5 Kid Approved Valentine’s Day Activities

This year valentine’s day lands on a Sunday! A perfect day to stay in and enjoy some DIY crafts and treats with your kids! Below you will find 5 of our favorite (and easy to do) at home activities. Keep reading if you still need some ideas to create a special day and some special memories with your little one.

1. Heart Tube Stamping

We are LOVING this super simple tube stamp by Housing a Forest. What we love most about this project is how versatile it is. You can use it to make cards, paintings, decorate wrapping paper or gifts bags, and with the right paint even use it to decorate a shirt! Aside from the versatility of this project it also requires very little supplies and is incredibly easy for even the youngest crafter!

2. Sweet & Salty tasty treat!

This might be our favorite project, just because it’s so tasty! Head on over to The Kitchen is My Playground for the full details on how to put this together. This is great for kids because they can’t get creative with different decorating elements!

3. A bouquet that lasts forever

This project work great with the first item on our list and also with (spoiler alert) our next item. Use the paint for more than just the heart with this celery rose stamp! Found this great craft along with some others on Honey & Lime.

4. Heart Tote Bag

Keep your paint out! Check out this great tutorial from Clumsy Crafter and recreate this look or use at as inspiration to make a t-shirt with this same technique! we love how simple this technique is and you can really let your little ones have fun with it because once you remove the cardboard the heart shape remains perfectly untouched!

5. SLIME!

This project will probably be your child’s FAVORITE and you can thank Little Bins for Little Hands for this one. This project uses a few more materials than the others but its definitely something memorable and exciting for your kids to enjoy! This is another project that allows you to get really creative with what you can mix into the slime and make it personal.

We hope you’ve enjoyed this post and that you try out some of these crafts. If you do make sure to send us a pic or post it on Instagram using #TT4Kvday !

We’ll be back next week with another post for you guys but for now we’d like to take the time to wish you all a very Happy Valentine’s Day, and remember its about celebrating LOVE so make sure to spread love to everyone around you!

Our top 10 favorite DIY Halloween Costumes!

We are officially in October! It is now time to start thinking of halloween costumes for your little ones! We love all things crafty at This and That for Kids so we thought it would be fun to create a post showing great homemade costumes! Hope you like them!

Paper Doll! So cute, unique and easyyyy! Buy a few poster boards, we found some at the dollar store at 2 for .50, draw out a design with a pencil first and then go over it in the markers of your choice. The design below is really easy to replicate. Then cut around the design. You can either attach string and tie the design around your child or you can buy a cheap white shirt and cheap white shorts and glue the pieces together. This is a very affordable costume that will be sure to make your child stand out!

Headless Halloween Costume. So cool! and surprisingly easy! Found this on Nature For Kids. Click this link for full intructions!

Clark Kent. So easy and can it get any cuter?! Can be done for any age, just find a Superman t-shirt which can be found at most Targets or Walmarts, a white button up shirts, some black pants, a cute tie, and some glasses and the costume is complete! Plus, most of the items can be used after halloween, who doesn’t like wearing a super man t-shirt on a daily basis?

Octopus. Great and hilarious for babies or for older kids as well. Giggles Galore has a great tutorial on how to make it. Click this link to read the full article.

 

Spelling Bee. What an adorable play on words. All you need to make this is a black leotard and tights, some yellow duct tape, craft letters, a headband and some wings, and of course glue to put it all together. Get creative and use any words you’d like!

Scuba Diver. The photo below shows all the home made pieces but you can make it even easier and buy a snorkeling set which brings the mouth piece and goggles and then make the oxygen tanks with two empty soda bottles. For clothes they can either wear a swim suit and dri-fit water shirt or an all black outfit. Don’t forget, these are all about getting creative and putting your own spin on things!

Pinata. This is one of our favorite costume ideas we have seen this year! For the base of the costume you can use any t-shirt and pants that you don’t mind messing up. I believe the costume in this photo was done with felt, which makes it sturdier but this costume can be done with crepe paper from party city making it look even more realistic. Make a head piece using party hats and the same technique, whether it be felt or crepe paper. Use hot glue to attach the pieces. Fold or role the crepe paper before you make the cuts, once you unravel it you will have all the cuts done instead of having to do it one by one.

Sheep. This is just adorable for baby’s first halloween! Just use a leotard and glue on some cotton balls! couldn’t be easier, add a cute pink bow around their neck for a personal touch.

Kissing Booth. What a cute costume for your little stud! Plus you get an excuse to smother him with kisses! All you need is a box, some paint, and some card board for the price signs. Use string or suspenders to keep the box on the little man, and then put on your favorite lipstick and smother him with kisses!

Cotton Candy. Just as sweet as the real thing, less sticky! This link explains just how to do it!
