INDEX parenting For fashion-conscious small-fry
A NEW SEASON means a whole different wardrobe for children – and if you’re on a budget (or just sensible), buying pre-loved clothes can be a great option because often the previous owner has merely grown out of the clothes, as opposed to wearing them out.
For babywear and more, check out
www.nct.org.uk for details of your nearest sale. Or there’s the brilliant Kids and Kaboodle, which, on Saturday 1 Oct, has it’s first sale at a new venue: The TN2 Community Centre in Tunbridge Wells (2- 3.30pm). The event is being run in partnership with the Sherwood
Kids & Kaboodle

www.myfirstboutique.com. If it’s new you’re after and you’ve got girls to dress
www.misspicnic.com is an online
shopping site that promises to offer stylish, affordable designer clothing for girls aged four to 16, from a selection of carefully chosen European designers including Dutch label Pom Pom and Francomina Mini from Italy. The brains behind the site is designer Jane Branco, who studied fashion at St Martin’s in London and set up Miss Picnic having despaired of not being able to find simple, elegant clothes for her own daughter in the UK. See the website for more details.

IF YOU’RE LOOKING for a new creative activity to try with kids, Decopatch is worth exploring. It’s a very thin, strong and flexible paper that’s especially easy to use and that can be applied to virtually any surface. Use it to decorate anything and everything from photo frames and chairs to cupboards, plates and
candles...the list goes on! Just tear a little piece off the Decopatch paper and brush glue on the object you want to cover, stick on the piece of torn Decopatch paper and brush again with gloss glue. Decopatch is excellent for children’s parties, suitable for those aged five and above, and it’s available as an activity at Slap ‘n’ Dash in Hawkhurst. For more information, contact
samantha@slapndash.com, tel 01580 755674. Slap ‘n’ Dash, The Barn, Hawkhurst Fish Farm, Hastings Road, Hawkhurst, Kent TN18 4RT
