Well Collected Kids: Summer Essentials

Warm Weather Must-Haves For Summer Fun With The Minis

ELAINE SAYS: Last week I invited A-List Mom Founder, Elina Furman to contribute a list of travel must-haves for the Well Collected Mom so I thought it only right to follow that up with a list of Summer Essentials for the Well Collected Mini. And while some of these things will find a home in your "just in case" bag, they will all ensure that your little one's have a cute and carefree summer.

Ashiato Animal Footprint Sandals SHOPI fell in love with these paw print sandals named, "Ashiato," after the Japanese word, footprint. Good, clean beach fun.
Under Cover Tape SHOPThis new product created by my friend, Michelle, just hit the market and is already a part of my emergency kit. The hypoallergenic and latex free tapes, cover clothing tags so that they don't rub against mini's skin. They come in cute patterns with 3 new ones being added for back-to-school. Most importantly, they just might be the difference between a fun day and a lot of whining!
Dr. Robin Sunscreen, Moisture Cream, Body Wash and Shampoo SHOPWhen it comes to Sunscreen, it's hard to keep up with the rule du jour. But with Dr. Robin's, all natural, chemical free sunscreen and bath products, you know your kid is covered. You have to rub the sunscreen in a bit but the gentle ingredients promise no irritation and Dr. Robin's Seal of Approval promises full coverage. Try the "just right" moisture cream and gently, lavender-scented body wash as well...you'll end up fighting to oversee bath time.
Have an Indoor Beach Party with My Little Sandbox SHOPIt's a gloomy day here in LA, which seemed a perfect opportunity to talk about this cute toy! If you can't get the beach yourself, you can still take Barbie. Pirates, Bugs, Mermaids, Dino's and Princess Sandbox scenes available as well.
Summer Baja Surf Poncho by Boy + Girl SHOPI was in a favorite boutique in Atwater Village recently called, Individual Medley, when I noticed a small selection of well edited kids clothing that included a great LA-Based brand called, Boy + Girl. I loved the dual colored baby blanket and adorable girls dresses and rompers but these Surf Ponchos made the list today. Perfect after a day at the beach or for chilly nights.
Mayron's Goods, Ouch Stuff SHOPWhen your child is crying form an owie, all you want is for them to feel better and Actress + Director, Melanie Mayron, now also the Founder of Mayron's Goods, has a great elixir. Her "Ouch Stuff," Organic Calendula Balm is Paraben Free and perfect for treating everything from cuts and scrapes to bruises and sunburn....even the occasional imaginary injury may benefit from a swipe :).
A Jumpsuit for Mini from Mixed-Up Clothing SHOPAnother LA-Based Kids Brand, Mixed Up Clothing has really caught my eye. I do love a jumpsuit so why not one for Mini? Plus, the Global vibe and ethnic prints are perfect for your boho bebe. I cannot, for the life of me, remember who turned me on to this brand but I'm glad they did...thank you!
