Kidorable is THE place to get a child’s umbrella (we have 4 at our house…just sayin’). Their designs are second to none. They have something for everyone, for sure! And did you know that they also offer a whole host of items that coordinate with their fabulous umbrellas? Rain jackets, rain boots, backpacks and even cool wooden hangers.

Dora and SpongeBob Partner with Kidorable for Rainy Day Fun

· by · Leave a Comment

Do you have a SpongeBob or Dora the Explorer fan in your house? Darah happens to love both characters. I enjoy watching Dora with her from time to time, and drawing maps together so that we can be explorers just like her.

SpongeBob, I must say, continues to confuse me. He reminds me a bit of Ren and Stimpy, though less crass and more suited for a younger audience. I find him to be an odd bird, but Darah thinks he is hilarious. She is especially fond of his pet snail, Gary, who in every way mimics the mannerisms of a cat.

Told you it was strange.

But if your kids are fans of either character or of both, then you’ll be excited to hear that Kidorable now has rain gear products (rain boots, rain jackets and umbrellas) with Dora and SpongeBob on them.

Dora Kidorable

I recently picked up a Dora the Explorer rain jacket for Darah to wear next fall (she already has a rain jacket for this season). I was really impressed with the level of detail on the jacket. Licensed character merchandise is rarely my favorite thing, but the Kidorable products have the same attention to details as everything else in their line. Well done, Kidorable!

I am looking forward to the adventures we will have out exploring with Dora this fall, rain or shine! The rain jacket we reviewed retails for $45 and comes in sizes 12-18m through 6x.

Kidorable Helps Make Picking Up Clothes More Fun: Coupon Code!

· by · Leave a Comment

About twice each week, Darah and I spend some time with each other cleaning up her room. Darah focuses on putting away the toys, and I am tasked with putting her clean clothes away. We hope to make some changes to her closet in the near future so that Darah will be able to put her clothes away all by herself (currently the closet rod is much too high for her).

Once we make her closet more toddler-friendly in terms of access, I also want to make it more toddler-friendly in terms of the aesthetic. I will be adding a few extra special hangers that will delight Darah, and also help her learn how to keep her clothes separated by type. She has a few costumes that will be available to play with, but they need to be kept seperated from her everyday attire. Kidorable is going to help Darah learn how to keep her dress up clothes in their own grouping, all thanks to their fantastic wooden hangers. These aren’t just any wooden hangers, though! They have wonderful designs that coordinate with other Kidorable products.

Darah is going to get the mermaid hangers because she is currently obsessed with mermaids. She also happens to have a mermaid costume, and what better to hang it up with than a mermaid hanger?! The quality of these hangers is awesome; they are hand carved and hand painted! A set is just $20 for the smaller size, and $22.50 for the larger size. These are definitely a fun way to help bring some fun design elements to your child’s closet, and to help them turn the chore of putting away clothes into something much more fun.

From June 11-18 Kidorable is offering a 20% discount on their hanger sets! Simply enter code CLEANUP2 at checkout to get your discount!
