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…..

Happy Babies – that is what we like to see!

Happy babies in fun, colourful Tootsie and Fudge clothing makes us even happier!

Each season Tootsie and Fudge have a great new selection of smafolk clothing for you to choose from with new colours and new prints.  However, what is fabulous about smafolk is that their prints and colours work all year round. If you buy a short sleeved dress or t-shirt then don’t just put it away when it gets colder – you can simply layer it over something else!

We love this sweet purple cat print short sleeved dress which is being worn over the pink cow bodysuit and looks fab and there is no denying that she is one happy bub!

Check out the full collection from smafolk.

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!
