Easter Ideas!

Easter is later this year, April 24th which gives us some time to find dresses, suits, and goodies to fill the easter baskets! It can be difficult to decide what to put into the baskets each year, but we have created a list of some ideas to help you out!

• Crayons and Coloring Books
• Toys: Barbie's or Trucks
• Puzzles
• Flash Cards: These are great for traveling or for learning exercises
• DVD's or CD's
• And of course Easter Candy and Chocolate bunny's

Ideas for older children:

• Finger nail polish
• Movie Tickets
• Tickets worth money for gas for their car
• Jewelry
• Sunglasses

With some ideas for the Easter baskets, what are the kids going to wear? We have received a nice selection of Easter dresses this year ranging from adorable silk dresses to fun cotton ones that can be worn again for any occasions. And for boys we have a large selection of button down collar shirts as well as suit jackets up to size 12! We carry a limited size selection in all outfits and shirts. Please check out our website for current sizes and colors, or you can always give us a call at the store at 503.916.0636

Spring Break!!!

Spring Break is just around the corner and it is an exciting time for children. But it can be very stressful for parents! What to do? Where to go? What to pack? Kids seem to have growth spurts in the Spring which calls for new summer wardrobes. We have created a list of ideas to do with your kids on their week long vacation, including ideas of what to wear :) Some are just for a few hours, and some are for the whole day. Spring break in Oregon is March 21st-25th and in southwest Washington it is April 4th-8th.

I'm boooooored!!!

Going to the park

Portland is full of nature and the outdoors. Why not take to kids to the park one day and let them burn off some of that energy. Especially on a sunny day, it is nice for everyone to get out of the house and enjoy the beginnings of Spring.

Le Top has some bright colorful outfits for kids to run around in.

For girls we have the Le Top Flower Shirt and Capri Pant Set. And the Le Top Farm Shirt and Denim Cargo Short.

Children's Museum

Right now through June 5th they have Curious George: Let's Get Curious exhibit. Kids will have fun in a interactive, math, science, and engineering based adventure. The museum is free for children under the age of 1 and $9.00 for general admission.

We just received this Hartstring's Ladybug tank and seersucker short set. A great outfit for exploring with George:) Or the Catimini Floral Dress and Leggings.

Oregon Zoo

The Oregon Zoo is also great places to take your kids, or meet up with other moms and stroll around the zoo. With Train rides, and their spring break ZooVenture, the Oregon Zoo has a lot to offer for all ages. Catimini has the perfect Girafffe T-Shirt and denim short set for seeing all the animals.

However we all know the weather here in Oregon and it can be hard to find a nice day during Spring Break when its not raining!
