Kids' Frog Rain Coats and Rubber Boots

There's nothing like a rainy day for bringing out the frog in all of us. We used to live in a big yellow farm house in Vermont with a pond in the back yard. Springtime meant a daily serenade of peeper tree frogs who made their way to the pond to lay their eggs. Their "music" is why they were nicknamed "peepers" in the first place; the high pitched sound could be mistaken for bird song if you were from the city or from a place where there were no peepers. But for those of us who lived there, the sound was a true harbinger of spring.

Kids love to dress up, which is why these frog rain coats and frog rain boots are a good idea. Your little frog will love their cheery green color and their beady yellow frog eyes. Going out on a rainy spring day was never so much fun as this!

These three frog rain coats are equally cute, but each one is slightly different. Though all are green, they are not the same shade of green: one is bright green; one is blue with green trim; and one is a deeper shade of green. They all have frogs on them. You may have to click on them to see the exact frog detail. 

I like the bright one for the frog eyes on the hood, but each one has its appeal. Be sure to look at the backs of each on the website, as that will give you an added feel for which you’d most like to see on your child. A close-up of the fabric is helpful, too.

These are the kind of boots a child will want to put on no matter what the weather just because they are so much fun to wear. I’ve heard stories of little ones who carry the boots around everywhere they go or almost fall over backwards trying to look at their own feet while wearing these rubber boots.

One caution, however, about buying boots online. You may want to trace your child’s feet and send the paper along with your order. I’m not sure whether or not that would help, but it would be worth a try. Some parents have complained that they received a pair of rubber boots they ordered online and they were too small for their child. This can be rectified by sending the boots back and getting a larger size, but that adds cost for shipping, which could make the boots more expensive than ones you’d find in the store. 

My advice would be to order size carefully, erring on the side of too big rather than too small. Although you want to hit the size perfectly, your child can grow into the boots if they’re too big, but if they’re too small, your only solution is to send them back or give them to a younger sibling or friend.

I hope you've found the raincoat you've been looking for. Little things can mean a great deal for a child. Maybe you've sparked your child's imagination with one of these frog outfits.

Happy splashing!
