I’ve often wondered if my 4 1/2 year old son owned an umbrella, would he use it? Most boys, my son included, prefer to get their heads soaked in the rain to taking the time to open a silly old umbrella. Kidorable, however, makes a line of kid-sized umbrellas that are so cute, they just might encourage my son to use one.

I like this Dolphin umbrella because it’s unisex - it would look equally as adorable covering a girl’s head or a boy’s head. It’s made of 100% nylon over an aluminum frame, and sized just right for little kids.

The Kidorable umbrellas come in a variety of styles, including Ladybug, Pirate, Frog, and Cow. What’s more, a matching raincoat and rain boots are also available in each style. You can view and purchase a Kidorable umbrella on sale for $11.99 (regularly $14) at TootsiesKidorableRainwear.com.

Where we live, we’re experiencing a steady onslaught of rain today. When I picked my son up from preschool, he had to trudge through puddles in his sneakers, getting them soaked. He could really have used these rain boots from Kidorable today.

These boots are shaped like a dinosaur’s head, with eyes, mouth, and even teeth, making them fun for toddlers and little kids to wear. Your child won’t mind putting on his boots before going out the door when they look like this. They are made of rubber, with a rubber sole, and have a rounded toe for comfort.

The Kidorable Dinosaur Rain Boots are available in a variety of toddler and little kid shoe sizes at Amazon.com, where they’re currently on sale for $15. After the deluge we got caught in today, I’ll be purchasing a pair for my son right away!

Just think how much fun your little boy will have in this Pirate Rain Coat by Kidorable.  I know with my two boys (when they were toddlers) all I would have had to add are plastic swashbuckling swords and leave the rest to their imagination!

Oh, to return to those swashbuckling days of yore! Make some memories with your little ones whenever you can. Made from high quality PVC with polyester lining and comes in sizes 2T and 4T, hanger included. Price: $32.00 at mychildclothing.com

This would be so much fun for kids to wear! And your little one may actually keep it on in rainy weather just because it is so much fun. My little nephew loves dinosaurs - and the first time we showed him the movie, Jurrasic Park he flipped - literally!

I can imagine him pretending he’s a mighty dinosaur in this rain coat.This is could even double for a Halloween costume. You know how chilly some October 31st’ can be.The pockets are the two dinosaur patches in front, snaps (not buttons) for easy closure. Made from high quality PVC with polyester lining.

It comes in sizes up to 18 mos. Price: $27.20 (sale) at mychildclothing.com.
