If it’s not enough that we have had months of cold, snow and sleet….it would seem that we are set for rain now!

We here at T & F have decided that the best way through this is to make the rain a positive experience for everyone! How??

Start by dressing kids for play in the rain.

On a dull, rainy, wet day there is nothing more fun than seeing kids in their colourful rain gear and listening to their squeals of delight as they have fun splashing around. You don’t even have to go far….a few puddles will suffice.  Protected from head to foot in rain gear – the funkier the better- kids will  happily splash for hours.  Energised by splish splashs and  the creative and bright colours that they wear…..you might even find that you start to feel the energy -  a positive effect on the ‘bad weather’ mood that so many of us experience.

As the new spring summer stock arrives with Tootsie and Fudge, the rain gear jumps out at you in fabulous striped rainbow colours and bright yellows from molo. Owls splash in puddles on our red and black rain sets by ej sikke lej, apples shout out summer fun on our smafolk rainsuits and katvig offer you a fabulous multipurpose raincoat which will take you through the seasons.

Prices range from £30 to £80.

If you have any money left over after the expenses of Christmas and New Year then online shopping is the place to go. From the comfort of your cosy home you can surf for the millions of bargains out there at your fingertips!

Tootsie and Fudge have some fantastic offers on until January 20th 2010.

To keep cosy in this cold weather why not take advantage of the reduced prices on fleeces and jackets. Or what about taking advantage of reduced price denim….kids love it as much as we do.  Or just a funky top to brighten these short, dark winter days!

Here are a few offerings currently on sale…..

If you are looking for something colourful, fun AND organic then why not check out the collection of clothing from ethical clothing designer katvig.

Designing clothing for kids to wear and be ‘kids’, katvig has become a household name in Denmark.  This is hardly surprising when you check out their happy colours, super stripes and legendary apple print.

Why not consider one of these striped organic cotton items as a christmas gift this year.   The cotton line by katvig  is certified with the EU Flower, it’s durable, it keeps the shape and color and style and children and adults love the simplicity of it.

For girls we have this lovely katvig red and pink superwash wool knit dress and the boys can look simply adorable in this katvig brown and white wool jumper.

Reasons for feeling good about buying organic cotton!

For every eight t-shirts produced from normal cotton, the environment suffers from one kilogram of toxic waste.

By using organic cotton the CO2 emissions from farming are reduced by 50 percent, the soil is not exposed to synthetic fertilizers, Pesticides or defoliants which all result in a more sustainable environment and healthier product for you.

How about that! Dad’s jealous of their son’s underwear – no we are not kidding!

You’ll believe it when you see it!

Enter this fabulous selection of underwear available at Tootsie and Fudge. Dads will be doing their best to try to squeeze in to these funky numbers.(in fact just in the same way that the dinosaurs do in the fun book by Claire Freedman “Dinosaurs love underpants” -has fast become a favourite of my 2 year old- highly recommended)

But seriously, we are unfortunately being reminded that the cooler weather is just round the corner so extra layers are just what kids need.  When underwear is  fun it makes it so much easier to encourage them to wear it!

So whether its stripes, stars, retro, fast cars for the boys or spots, butterflies, stars, cats and tortoises for the girls……….we have a great set for your little one ( with more still to arrive!)

Please note stock is still arriving at Tootsie and Fudge so when you get there there might be even more choice!
