This handmade crocheted toddler poncho by etsy seller trulysanctuary reminds me of my own childhood. I used to have a light pink poncho that was crocheted for me and given to my mom as a shower gift before I was born. I cherished that poncho, as I think any new mom (or someday her grown up daughter) would cherish this beautiful poncho. I love the colors in this poncho, made from durable 4 ply yarn, and its versatility. You don’t see as many ponchos on babies or toddlers these days, which is a shame as they are so cute and stylish. You can buy this one for $15.99 at trulysanctuary.

Recently I discovered a company from Vancouver, BC that makes handmade ponchos. Named “Po Po’s,” a Chinese word translated as “Grandma’s,” the company was started in 2007 by Karen Stark. She began using different colors, fabric combinations, and so forth in creating unique styles of cute ponchos for babies and little children. They come in three sizes, accommodating kids from ages 3 to 6, in micro fleece or CVC fleece, trimmed in 100% cotton. Various styles are available at different times on PoPosPonchos.com, for $46 CDN (about $40 USD). Visit the site to check out these adorable ponchos.

Although I remember wearing ponchos as a child, somehow they have never made their way into my daughters’ wardrobes. This cute little Edna poncho from Skipping Hippos has me thinking twice about why that is. Made from bright orange fleece with a fun trim of flowers and pom poms, it is sure to get compliments wherever your little one wears it. It is available in sizes from 6-12 months up to 4T. While I have trouble imagining an infant in one, I think it would look adorable on a toddler. You can purchase one for $46 at LillyAndLucy.com.

Something you don’t see very much anymore is a nice, handknitted poncho. I have fond memories of wearing a pink, crocheted poncho as a little girl, given to me by an aunt. That’s why this Handknit Nordic Design Red Poncho by Our Green House caught my eye. Handknitted in Bulgaria, the poncho has pockets and a hood - not only attractive, but functional. This is an item your little girl will want to save and pass on to her own daughter. You can purchase this handknit poncho for $39.99 at OurGreenHouse.com. A matching red handknit Nordic pant is also available for $38.

It’s great to see yester-year styles come back around. I wore a poncho at college! It was lightweight, loose, and fun and that’s what makes this bright fleece poncho excellent for your little one.

This poncho by Skipping Hippos is easier to slip on then a pull-over sweater or long-sleeve jacket and much more fun to wear. Comes in infant and toddler sizes, in your choice of Persimmon Orange, Rich Brown, or Precious Pink.
