3 Warm Weather Must Have Shoes for Boys and Girls

Thank you Pediped for partnering with me on this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

If you have followed along with my blog or social channels for a while now, then you know about my love for Pediped shoes. Pediped takes pride in the quality and make of their shoes which are approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association for promoting healthy foot development.

So blah blah, I know sometimes the early educator in me gets boring. But I want to tell you why these shoes are so great for your kid(s) feet!

Okay so onto the fashion!

Boy Shoes

1. Fresh Kicks (Sneakers)

Sneakers are a staple item for boys. These Grip ‘n’ Go in Cliff Orange are a total must this summer! Give me all the bright colors!

Mom perks: Machine washable, vegan and approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association for promoting healthy foot development

2. Breathable Sneaker/Sandals

The Flex Sahara is a favorite of mine! I love that your child’s foot can breath in the heat but also be protected. No stubbed toes here!

There are a bunch of color options, but the Grey/Lime has me swooning!

Mom perks: Machine washable, water safe, vegan and approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association for promoting healthy foot development

3. Dressy Sandals

The Flex Joshua in Navy are the cutest! I’m loving the denim look for boys this spring and summer. They would look fabulous with white, gray or khaki shorts.

Girl Shoes

First up Machine Washable… do I need to say more?

1. Mary Janes

Izzy’s Flex Minnie in Raspberry are perfect for play. They look great with shorts, leggings or a dress. She already got them dirty, but no worries, these darling shoes can go straight into the washer!

Mom perks: Water safe, Machine Washable, Vegan & Approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association for promoting healthy foot development

2. Breathable Sneaker/Sandals

These Flex Sahara in Fuchsia/Lavender are so perfect for my busy girl. I love that her toes are protected during play. She runs, jumps and climbs so these are great shoes for play especially since they are water safe! I hear splash pads calling our name!

3. Dressy or Causal Wear Sandals

Izzy’s Flex Maggie in Serenity (blue) has me all heart eyes! The tiny details are stars and hearts. I just love the clasp on the foot, such as darling addition to these sandals.

I linked up all of the shoes for you, but if you don’t see your child’s size, try looking in different categories such as baby, toddler or big kid. Remember sizes change the internal design because they are based on the child’s walking and running ability. So you may find the same style shoe under a different link depending which category your child falls under.

Happy Shopping!

Gross Motor Play – Outdoors

Gross Motor Play – Outdoors

I received the mentioned items in this post from Pediped to share in an honest review. As always all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

It’s cold most places in the winter but our kiddos still need to find time to get outside and work on their gross motor play skills so here are some activities you can do with your kids outdoors.

1. Kick and throw a ball outside.

2. Bring a stroller, shopping cart or any pushing toy out for a walk.

3. Draw shapes on the ground with chalk and practice jumping into the shapes. Work on both cognitive and physical development.

4. Explore the outdoors for leaves, rake a pile and work on jumping into them.

5. Head to the playground. Climb the play structures with your child and teach them how to pump their legs on a swing so they can move themselves back and forth.

6. Is it snowing where you are? Get outside and climb up hills to sled down or roll balls to build snowmen.

How cute is Izzy taking Elmo for a walk?

When Izzy is playing outdoors I like to be sure she’s in shoes that will really be developmentally appropriate for her feet.

pediped® footwear has always been a top shoe choice for us and I’m sure you have heard me talk about this company multiple times on my blog and on my other social media channels. Bottom line is they make a good shoe. The shoes are stylish and great for your kids feet. Sorry it’s the birth through five education major in me that makes me obsessed with child development.

There are 3 different types.

Originals® -baby
Grip ‘n’ Go™ – toddler
Flex® -big kid

Each shoe is specifically engineered to promote healthy foot development. Guys finding good shoes is so important for your children’s feet!

 Did you know pediped Originals®, Grip ‘n’ Go™, and Flex® have been officially recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) as being beneficial for children’s growing feet. In fact they were among the first of child footwear to be awarded.

Fall Footwear For Littles

Fall Footwear For Littles

I’m not sure anyone could be more excited for the fall than me! I’m ready to drink warm apple cider, search for the best pumpkins to carve and paint and sit outside near a fire pit snuggled with my husband after the baby has gone to bed.

A new season means new fashions which is also exciting! I already got Izzy new fall shoes and not only are they adorable they are comfortable and perfectly made for her age and development. I chose shoes that went well with fall fashions for dressy and casual occasions.

Pediped is a company I have been loving for Izzy because they have three signature lines; Originals®, Grip ‘n’ Go™ and Flex®. What does this mean for you? This means no matter if you baby is crawling, learning to walk, walking or running there will be a shoe that fits your child’s footwear need based on their development. That’s a mommy win because physical development is important.

So how am I going to be styling the boots & shoes? Of course I’m sharing a bunch of adorable photos with you. These those boots are more versatile then I bet you thought they would be!
