These must-haves will come in handy during the rain, any outdoor activities, as well as campfire-inspired play! From durable rain gear to super-cool sunnies, the kids will be sure to thank you when they move comfortably around in these picks!

Limelight Lime Babiators

These aviator sunglasses are not only stylish (and not to mention, featured as award-winning Babiators Sunglasses for adventurous and fashionable tots), but they come in handy for protection as well.
