Put in the rain today in our waterproof trousers. We have the playground to ourselves!

We need a rain pant revolution so more kids could go out! Same here, we are always on our own. In that regard, I'm glad I had 3 boys so they have company! The kids's at their Finnish after school club used to make these floating paper boats for puddles - I'm thinking trying that next time it rains and maybe natural food coloring to make rainbow puddles!

This is one of those concepts that seem so obvious once you hear about it, what a great post!

It’s an oxymoron! In Scandinavia every single kid has it but here no one- and you don’t realize - if you don’t have it - how much easier it would make your life!

100% I have them for all of my three boys 7, 5, & 2 years old. Rain pants are the best! We use them all the time on our farm, fishing and playing in the dirt and rain! Now I just need to get myself a pair, so thanks for the reminder! ❤️

I love that- it’s literally the one item that makes life with kids so much easier. I searched around a lot - most grownup outdoor pants are not chic :-) and yes, I think they should be! My fave is from Ilse Jacobsen - they are cute & stylish!
