The Picnic Rose Apron Skirt is a just what the name suggests, a handmade skirt with a tiny apron on the front. The prints are so beautiful, and it would be a great present for a little girl. It comes in sizes ranging from 12 months all the way up to a girl's size 8.

Aprons are great for craft time, kitchen time or any time. The apron seen above, the Personalized Initial Apron, is one of the cuter children's aprons that I've seen. It's 13" wide, 19" long and available for personalization. Click behind the fold to see an upclose view of the apron.

You can pick the fabric, ribbon color and font for the apron. You can check them out at Swanky Baby Boutique.

Be Mess Free With This Child Apron

Lisa Estall — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 20:10:00 GMT

I never thought of getting an apron for my son until I saw him wear one at daycare. It was like a lightbulb went off. An apron will protect his clothes and make cleaning up less of a hassle for me.

My favorite Mimi the Sardine Child Apron is this colorful pattern ot chicks. There are no toxic finishes so it's definitely kid-friendly.

They're priced at $20 and sold at Giggle.

Belly Bib for Soon-To-Be Mamas

Lisa Mulcahy — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 21:42:00 GMT

There comes a time somewhere in the third trimester when your belly becomes the catch all for everything from ice cream drips to oily salad dressing spots. Whether it’s the clumsiness of pregnancy or simply a spatial relations issue I can attest to ruining many a maternity shirt. But now there’s the Belly Bib, $40. Not really sure what differentiates this from a kitchen apron (if you just tied it above your belly), but if it saves a couple of shirts maybe it’s worth it.

Craft it up: Chalkydoodles Apron/Smock

AmandaHill — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:03:00 GMT

If you have an avid crafter or mini chef on your hands, the Chalkydoodles apron would be great. It has an adorable little space where a name can be written in chalk, or it can be covered with doodles. The apron, which pulls double duty as art smock, can easily be wiped down with a damp cloth. This allows less time for worrying about the messes on the apron and more time for worrying about the messes made while wearing the apron.

It also features a roomy pocket. The pocket could be great for holding crayons, glue or whatever other miscellania your little crafter is toting around. The Apron fits 2 year olds-5 year olds and you can get one at Craftsbury Kids.

African Designs on Products from Marimekko

Chris Ford — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 18:23:00 GMT

We've written about products from Finnish textile and design company Marimekko before, so here's another cool one to add to the list. Designed by Olivia Toikka, the Opari pattern is based on his "Afrikan kuningatar (Queen of Africa) children's fabric pattern".

There are bibs, aprons and children's dishes. (I'm kind of partial to the apron pictured). All of the textile products will be a little different, as they are cut from a bigger piece of cloth with the pattern.

Mug and Plate, $47. Apron, $18. Tray, $25. All from Unicahome.com. The bib seems to be out of stock and discontinued unfortunately.

Beansoup Aprons: Too Cool For Cooking?

Sarah Verdone — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:53:00 GMT

It is not a well-known fact, but should be, that kids love aprons. The main reason my kids like to cook is that they get to wear the ones I made in junior high Home Ec class. Beansoup's aprons are way nicer though. There are lots of cool prints, including some non-girly choices, in sizes that fit toddlers to pre-tweens ($26). And the cobbler's aprons are so pretty they should be a wardrobe staple ($36).

The Babble Review: Mom & Me Aprons

aprilpeveteaux — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 20:35:00 GMT

I struggled with the, ‘Do I really want to put my daughter in the kitchen?’ thing for about five seconds before wrapping her up in this tiny apron from Zebi Baby and heading to cookie town. I, of course, was already wearing mine. The Mom & Me aprons are retro curvy and the mod patterns do recall a simpler, sexist time. But if you can get past that last thing, you and your petit chef will get a big kick out of dressing alike as you stuff the turkey. - April Peveteaux
