Did you know that most children in Scandinavia would wear proper rain gear like waterproof dungarees and jacket or a all-in-one combined with wellington boots and Souwester hat. Children seldom wear a raincoat and a umbrella. Like how would they be able to explore that muddy puddle then? Norwegian wellington boots for children and adults from Moose Reflex are the worlds first approved reflex rain...

Some cooling news for the little people from Småfolk. We especially love the accessories shown in one of the pictures. Not sure why it's shown together with the baby outfit though. ;) Beatrice has the armband and loves wearing it. Photo: SS10 by Småfolk
