My 10 Summer Essentials For Kids (Age 0-6) From Ten Little

It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Ten Little! I recommend their shoes all the time and have for years! My kids have been through so many pairs as they grow and we continue to love them.

But did you know they have more than shoes? Yup, that’s right! They have a huge selection of curate products for kids. Today, I’m sharing 10 of my summer essentials from Ten Little for kids age 0-6!

1. Splash Sandals: This is our second summer with the splash sandals and I bought them for all 3 of my boys! They come in 5 colors and are water resistant meaning they are perfect for exploring, splash pads, the beach, and more! The also improved the design to be more comfortable and blister-free.
2. Eco Canvas Sneakers: Made with 100% recycled cotton, these are breathable and perfect for summer! They have the same barefoot friendly design as their Everyday Originals featuring a wide toe box and a flexible sole for healthy development and natural movement. I personally LOVE the look of these!
3. Rain Boots: You might not think of rain boots as a summer shoe, but in this house, we wear ours year-round. My kids love how they fit and I love that they can get dirty and beat up and still look great because they are easy to clean and care for. They are a great height on little legs – tall enough to keep mud/grass/dirt/you name it out while being short enough to not hinder play.
4. Long Sleeve Rash Guards: These are a go-to for us for sun protection! My kids do a lot of water play in the summer months and we spend a lot of time at the beach and the pool. If they are out in the sun, they are wearing these! I love that they offer more protection for delicate skin and it’s also less sunscreen we have to put on them. Make sure to check out the baby rash guards, too!
5. Mini Deluxe Eco Scooter: If we’re outside, chances are my kids are immediately attracted to something on wheels. We love a scooter because it’s easy for them to control and builds leg and core strength!
6. Classic Helmet: Helmets are a non-negotiable for us and are something I make my kids wear. Head injuries are too common and can be devastating.
7. Sand Dump Truck: If you have a dump truck and a shovel, you never need to bring another toy to the beach again. My two older boys have so much fun playing with just these two toys – I stopped lugging bags full of beach toys with us. Trust me!
8. ThinkBaby Sunscreen: This is my favorite sunscreen for my kids! It has great coverage, sinks in well, and is made with good ingredients! We go through bottles and bottles of it every summer.
9. Recycled Backpack: Wherever we go, my kids are responsible for bringing the things that they *want* to have with them. Of course, we take care of essentials as the parents, but if they want a specific toy or something, they need to bring it. Each of my kids has a backpack that they pack for themselves. We’ve been using these for years and they are a great size and both kids are able to carry them themselves.
10. Wet/Dry Bag: And finally, the last item on my must-have list is a wet/dry bag. I have these in our diaper bag for each of my kids. From 10 months to 6.5 years, we use these weekly. I pack extra dry clothes in them and then have a place to put clothes that have gotten messy or wet or their swim clothes. It’s one of the most important things in my arsenal!
