Kate Mack is one of the biggest names in swimwear for little girls. One look at their fun collection will explain why. This Patchwork Picnic suit is a perfect example of their style. I love the bright red color. It is sweet and feminine, yet a nice departure from pink. The ruffles and trim are great.  There is just so much attention to detail on this sweet little suit, and I like that it provides full coverage. It makes me wish  our closets weren’t already stocked with swimsuits! If your little one is in need of a suit for summer, you can purchase one of these for $44 at forgetmenotkids.com. It is available in sizes from 12mos to 4T.

I was flipping through the catalogue that came with our Plan Toys doll house furniture and came upon this adorable picnic play mat. My middle daughter (who is three) is very into pretend play right now. She carries her toy food and dishes all over the house. This is right up her alley, plus it is easily portable and, more importantly, easily contained. I think she would actually enjoy keeping her toy food neat and orderly in this mat. It buttons to keep picnic goods inside and is made from 100% cotton using fair trade practices. You can purchase one for $35 at peekagreen.com.

The Hable Construction Canvas Picnic Tote can be used for more than just picnics.  It’s great for beach towels, extra clothes, toys, books, anything that can go anywhere when traveling with kids. I’m sure this would have been a standard item in our family car. And I’m sure it would be just fine as a Picnic Tote too.

The Hable Construction Canvas Picnic Tote comes in this bright and springy Lime Stripe and costs $165.00 at PetitLuxe.com.
