As we leave the long cold months of January and February behind, here at MindfulKid HQ we’ve been getting into the spring mood. We’ve got hyacinths and daffodils sitting on the kitchen window sill, and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of warmer weather.
On sunny days it almost feels warm (almost!) and the idea of shedding coats in favour of wrapping up in cute, bright layers has been extremely tempting.
A recent poll on one of our Instagram posts informed us that many of our readers and followers favour bright colours over calm neutrals.
This is where the inspiration came for our most recent blog post; sunshine-ey, colourful, happy kids' spring clothing to layer for when temperatures start to climb. And we might be surprised. March, April and May often have wonderful spells of fair weather.
If you’re looking for some new spring layers, or even just seeking inspiration for what to look for secondhand, look no further. We’ve curated a beautiful mini-edit of cardis, sweatshirts and jackets for you below.
Description: A beautiful pastel russet colour, this is a brilliant super-soft oversized cardigan, great for layering over warm thermals, dungarees or tees alike.
Material: 100% organic cotton with coconut buttons
Sizes: 6m – 6y
Description: This comes in a few patterns but we love this "monkeying around" print! Gender-neutral, fun and bright – perfect for popping on for a play outside.
Material: 100% In Conversion organic cotton (to find out what “in-coversion cotton” is, see our Glossary)
Sizes: 2y – 10y
Description: There is so much to love about this waffle cotton bear sweatshirt; the sunny orange hue, the gender-neutral design and the versatility. Layer under dungarees, over leggings or pair with shorts on summer evenings.
Material: 100% organic cotton and eco-friendly azo-free dyes
Sizes: 0m – 8y
Description: A patchwork cardigan of dreams! We'd like this in an adult size please. We adore the colours used and the design; it's super pretty without being too sugary sweet.
Material: 100% Organic cotton, GOTS-certified and certified 100% recyclable
Sizes: 2y – 10y
Description: There are so many fun and bright colourways that Toby Tiger’s hoodies and sweatshirts come. We’ve picked this sweet pale blue one to feature as it really says “spring!” to us, but honestly, there are lots of gorgeous, happy designs to choose from.
Material: 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and eco-friendly azo-free dyes
Sizes: 6m – 6y
Description: The perfect kids' spring clothing layer. We love everything about this sweet little jacket. It comes in a few different prints but the gingham with the flowers on the reverse was too lovely not to show. If that’s a bit “girly” for what you’re looking for, check out there other patterns, there are quite a few. This is a beautiful little jacket for those warm spring days.
Material: 100% organic and fairtrade cotton
Sizes: 0m - 8y
Description: We couldn’t not include this Hello Sunshine sweatshirt in a spring edit! We love the pastel lilac, bold slogan and the oversized fit – one to go with absolutely any outfit. At the time of writing, there are only large sizes left so you could always grab one for your little one to grow into if they’re on the smaller end of the age bracket currently. We always buy and wear our clothes bigger now, they last longer that way!
Material: 100% organic cotton and eco-friendly azo-free dyes
Sizes: 0m – 8y
