Kids’ gear: 5 August must-haves
It’s time to think about the hottest days of summer and back-to-school gear
August is a languid-yet-frenetic month, full of the hottest lazy weather in the early weeks, and busy preparations for back-to-school in the last half.
Now’s the time to stock up on fun stuff that will keep the kids entertained, and practical items to take school-aged kids from camp to school in the final weeks of the summer season.
From adorable clothes to crafts perfect for doing outdoors (or indoors), we’ve rounded up some fantastic gear for August.
