HATS & ACCESSORIES

We love The Little Growers' gorgeously cut and stitched aprons.

Join The Little Growers community of small garden grubs, to create connectivity, develop healthy habits and an understanding of the earth from a young age.

Apart from being fun for kids, the research tells us that, even more than weekend sports and activities, the more time young children kids spend growing, harvesting and understanding food, the better their health will be over their lifetime.

Your child's school or pre-school may already have a vegetable or herb garden. Why not take the leap and get them excited about growing their own at home. They may teach you something. You don't need a big backyard, just a few pots for herbs to start with, or some raised planters for vegetables on the balcony. 

Depending on your council, you could grow your own on your nature strip and get your street involved. Share food scraps and compost and eventually real food from the earth where you live. 

The Little Growers' aprons are machine washable and are made from a 70% linen, 30% cotton fibre blend.

Sizing best for Ages 3-7

Also available in Vege Garden Print

100% Polyester

Baby, you'll rule

The Fun Bucket Hat in Royal is just the sun protection that a kid loves to have while roleplaying king or queen, building their own right royal sandcastle, or just playing in the park. Kids who don't love the prints so much will love to wear the rich royal blue colour. 

Crushable, floatable, water and stain-resistant, removable, breathable, and—oh yeah—adorable. They don’t even have to know it’s sun protective, but you’ll have that peace of mind. With its go-everywhere design, kids won’t forget their Fun Bucket.

Bridging the gap between style and sustainability,⁠ the first waterproof Hemp sneaker kicks the other brands out of the stadium.

HEMP UPPER, ALGAE SOLE

Hemp Runners? Why on Earth?

Hemp is FAR more sustainable than all other footwear materials. Hemp is simply the most environmentally friendly plant going.

Hemp is...

• so green it’s carbon negative
• the strongest natural fibre
• pesticide free
• fast growing
• breathable and cooling
• enriching to the soil it is grown in (yes it really is)
• used for thousands of years, 8000 in fact
  

Why on Earth? Great question! Synthetic vs Natural Runner Soles

With most cultures on earth, the fact that our feet rarely touch the surface of the earth is not even considered. Go for a run or a walk with dog - sure it's great for our fitness, but there's more to gain from time outside.

"Grounding" has been shown to improve our neurological, physical and mental health. Think forest bathing and the feeling you get lying directly on the grass vs a synthetic picnic blanket or yoga mat. 8000 Kicks soles are not made of plastics but algae; not only sustainable but made of the earth, the organic sea bed itself.

The concept of grounding reaches much wider than a group of hippies lying starfish-shaped on a green field singing Kum-Ba-Ya. It involves the actual materials we wear and use between our bodies and the ground and it has been shown to give hundreds of health benefits to people from many walks of life.

How do you Get Runner Soles from Algae?

So 8000 KICKS partnered up with Bloom Foam to create a super light algae bottom with increased durability while sponsoring the controlled removal of excess algae from entire marine ecosystems.

Emitting just 4.1Kg of carbon per pair (as opposed to the average 14Kg)  your next everyday footwear choice can be a more mindful and natural one.

Hidey Ho

For the cutest of the cute hats for Aussie bubs, you can't go past the Camo print in the SUNDAY AFTERNOONS' Kids Play Hat.

Feel free to add the Shane Warne style zinc cream to the nose but you'll find super protection in this style for 2 to 5 years olds.

It's Sunday Afternoons' NUMBER 1 bestselling hat style for a reason. All kids wanna do is play in the sun, and parents love to protect them. Sun-smart fabric and hat design keep natural-born adventurers safe and happy all day long.

Playproof details like a breakaway chinstrap, customisable sizing band, floatable brim, and stain resistance ensure that this hat lasts for summers to come. The back veil not only protects little necks from Australia's harsh rays, but it also allows the hat to sit comfortably when worn in a pram. And? Total cuteness.
