Back to School Shopping Guide – MessyKid.ca

One of the few items on the supply list the school sent home for Kindergarten this year is a paint smock.  Looking around there are a lot of products available, but most of them are very inexpensively put together, and not of the quality I would anticipate lasting through an entire year of use.  If I’m going to put the money out there for a product I want to be sure it is going to last.  Enter MessyKid.ca.

These exceptionally well constructed paint smocks are a Canadian Creation by Vancouverite Minna.  (Yay Canada!).

Tala is modelling an absolutely adorable unisex pattern from Messy Kid Products.  My immediate impression upon opening the package from Minna is just how bright and colourful the design is.  Perfect inspiration for an aspiring artist.  Above and beyond the colourful pattern I love the closures.  The velcro is firmly attached, consisting of 2 closures.  Another huge selling feature is the length.  The length is absolutely perfect.  Falling at just the right length on my almost 5 year old to provide maximum protection from falling droplets.

All in all this is by far my favourite paint smock that I have had the pleasure of tracking down.

Tala absolutely adores it, and a MessyKid.ca paint smock is on my list of must have products for Tala’s first day of school!

My personal favourite smock featured in the Messy Kid Etsy Shop

Minna has generously provided the smock that Miss Tala is modelling in the above pictures for one lucky reader to bring home.  It is a unisex smock, in an adorable animal pattern.  Coming from my non-smoking, no pet home it is bound to please one little artist. To enter, head on over to MessyKid.ca and have a look around both their website and Etsy Shop.  Then come back here and let me know what your favourite design is.  It’s that easy!
