Kids’ Summer

What will your kids be doing this summer? Will they be going away to camp or traveling on a family vacation? Will they be spending part of the summer with their grandparents or hanging out at home with daily visits to the park, neighborhood pool, or library? Whatever your plans, you’ll find the clothing, shoes, gear and toys you need to get your kids ready for summer fun and adventure at Whole Earth Provision Co.

Kids can be hard on shoes, especially when they’re spending lots of time outdoors. Whole Earth selects shoes for kids that are made for play. We’ve got sturdy shoes that are ready for hiking, exploration and playground games. If you’re heading to water, we have sports sandals that were made for wading in rocky creeks and lakes. You’ll also find easy care shoes and rain boots that can get dirty, very dirty, and then cleaned up with water hose in a jiffy. We also have flips and sandals for kids and thin-soled cloth shoes for the minimalist child.

The official summer outfit for kids: shirts, shorts and swimsuits. We have kids’ clothing made by some of your favorite brands like Patagonia and The North Face. You’ll love the quality that makes it possible to pass these classic items down to younger siblings. Kids like to represent and Whole Earth has t-shirts that can proclaim their feelings for dinosaurs, tacos, Texas and more. Looking for baggies and boardshorts for boys and one and two piece swimsuits for girls?  We’ve got them!

With so much outdoor playtime, don’t forget sun protection for the kids. Sun hats and sunscreen are a must. Our sun hat collection includes caps, hats with wide brims, and cloth hats with neck veils. We offer a selection of sunscreens including ThinkBaby SPF 50+ for young children and those with sensitive skin. You can also protect that precious skin with special sun protection clothing. Many of our kids’ shorts are made with SPF (sun protection factor) materials. Wearing long sleeve rash guard shirts for kids can be another useful strategy for protecting kids from overexposure to the sun.

Hikers and cyclists love hydration packs. Water is just a sip away whenever you need it, and the pack also has room for other items you may want to carry with you. Good news - Whole Earth carries hydration packs for kids! They’re sized for small bodies but with all the advantages of a hydration pack made for adults. Whole Earth also has day packs proportioned for small bodies ready for those times when your child wants to carry his own things on day hikes or trips.

And last of all, stock up on outdoor toys for backyard fun. Get them moving with toys to fling, catch, run and jump. And for those long rainy indoor days, we have games, puzzles, activity books and more to keep your kids occupied when they can’t go outside. Summer is just around the corner. Be prepared with a little help from Whole Earth.
