Top Up Summer Wardrobes: Cheap Threads for Kids

The summer months are just around the corner, and the winter threads that may be taking up valuable wardrobe space just won’t do when the sun comes out in full force.

 While some parents may not have to worry about what cash they spend on their kid’s clothes, others are fretting about having to clothe their children for the new summer season on a tight budget.

After all, it’s not cheap, especially if you have more than one to kit out! 

However, if you know where to look, your money will go much further, and with George at ASDA you’ll be surprised at how much fantastic stuff you can get for next to nothing.

Take a look at some of these fantastic pieces, and add them to your trolley next time you go to the supermarket:

Boys

Little lads of all ages will love the bold colours that the George collection has to offer, and will stand out this summer in some bright new threads. Summer is all about colour – nothing drab and boring, thank you very much! 

Here are some of our favourites:

• Character T’s, such as the ‘I’m Hungry!’ T shirt for as little as £3,  that’s cheaper than a kid’s magazine! Alternatively, opt for a retro favourite, such as the fabulous Gremlins T shirt for £5 – perfect for your cute little Gizmo.
• Boy’s jeans at George are the perfect thing to wear for everyday summer fun, with various styles and colours available, including cuffed, turn-ups, twisted seam and skinnies.
• Snapback caps appear to be all the rage with boys at the moment, and you don’t have to worry about spending a fortune on them. You can pick them up from George for £5. Sorted!
• Cargo shorts and turn up denims are not only affordable, but of great quality and totally comfortable. Kit them out for summer with a few pairs of each, which can easily be mixed and matched with shirts, tee’s and polos.

  Shopping for little girls isn’t always easy, especially when they like to have a say in what they wear and have very clear ideas about what they think looks pretty and stylish. Take her to the shops with you so that she can choose what she loves, and your princess will be smiling from ear to ear.

• Pretty skirts such as the gorgeous white and pink cutwork skirt at George for £8 will make your little diva look and feel amazing. Team with some cute ballet pumps or sandals for an outfit perfect for a summer day.
• Bargain price 3-packs of t shirts, in reds, whites, pinks and lilacs give you the chance to mix and match, all for as little as a fiver.

Fireman Sam Pontypandy Multi Rescue Playset - Review

Ben has loved Fireman Sam for as long as I can remember and last Christmas he was lucky enough to get quite a few of the playsets and a big red Jupiter from Father Christmas. Unlike many other gifts these are toys that he has regularly played throughout the year. So he was delighted when the Fireman Sam Pontypandy Multi Rescue Set arrived for us to review!

In the box there was: the 'half house', which required minimal assembly (just sliding in the floor, the stairs and gate and popping on the 'flames'), A fireman Sam figure which had movable legs and arms, a Norman figure (static legs and arms) a hose reel, bucket and cones (these were very small) and a sink unit. It also included  a Tree, cat (again very small) and ladder (which slotted into the tree).

Ben was very excited and couldn't wait to start playing with it all! He was immediately draw to the tree and was playing with Fireman Sam rescuing the cat for a while and then Norman came to help!

For a plastic toy this set is well made and very detailed, there are some really nice touches that helped spark Ben's imagination while he was playing with it. However there are some very small parts, such as the cat and the cones, and I worry that it won't be long until these are lost somewhere in our house.

I have read that other children have had difficulty with the playset standing up and that on wooden floors it kept falling over, however it is absolutely fine on our carpeted floor and has not fallen over once while Ben has been playing with it. Ben has had this out a few times  since we received it earlier in the week and has really enjoyed playing with it alongside his other Fireman Sam toys, especially Jupiter. It has many aspects to it that encourage imaginative play and  I can see it appealing to Ben (who is 5 ) for quite a while.

The Pontypandy Multi Rescue Set is from Character Options and is aimed at children between the ages of 3 and 6, It has an RRP of £29.99. You can purchase this and a many other Fireman Sam products  from Asda.

And if you have a Fireman Sam fan and are feeling lucky, why not enter UKMUMS.TV's competition to win a £250 shopping spree at Asda AND £100 worth of Fireman Sam goodies. Now that would be fabulous at this time of year! But be quick as it ends at 9am on Monday. Just click here to enter!
