As KidStyleFile helps tick off everything on your ‘Back to School’ list, it’s time to ask have you thought about a naptime set yet? With the new year there will be lots of little ones newly enrolled in childcare and pre-school.

When I was a little girl, there was very little I enjoyed more than dressing up and spending hours in my own little fantasy world.  It didn’t matter whether I was a princess or a mermaid, a fairy or a ballerina, I loved dress up costumes and the way they could transfer my world into a fairy tale.

And I don’t for one moment think I’m alone in this – I think most little girls (and many little boys!) love to dress up, and Denise at Chic Kids – www.chickids.com.au – has cottoned on to this.  She stocks a lovely range of dress up outfits including fairies, mermaids, tutus and ballet slippers, even pirates, at extremely competitive prices.  (They’re mostly in the Playtime section at Chic Kids, but also check out the Princess Ratbag pettiskirts for fairy/ballerina play, as well as the party circuit).

Now is a great time to stock up on dress ups too: not only are the school holidays rapidly approaching (and we all know how vital it is to have rainy day play options up our sleeves, especially at this time of year), but Denise is giving KidStyleFile readers 15% off store-wide!  The offer finishes at midnight 21 June 2009, and the code is ‘CHICKIDS’.  Grab a few outfits at this discount!!

As well as that, all orders will receive a Star & Rose ‘Touch of Spice’ Votive Candle in Vanilla Pod fragrance, but only while stocks last so make sure you get in quickly.  These beautiful candles (see no. 2 in the image collage below) are perfect for helping busy mums maintain their serenity surrounded by shrieking children during the term break!

While you’re at Chic Kids, let’s have a look at what else you might be able to snap up using your 15% discount.

For starters, I don’t know of any household who has enough Kiddysacs on hand.  Perfect for everything from swimming (their swimbags have a waterproof lining – brilliant) to libary bags, toy storage, and everything in between, these inexpensive, eye-catching and practical bags are fabulous to have around.

Lastly, the 15% off applies to the Delicious Discounts sale section too, and oh my goodness will you find some bargains in there!  Snap up Bebe by Minihaha, Eternal Creation, Baobab, Le Bon and many more top brands at bargain basement prices, AND take an additional 15% off too! If that’s not enough to put a smile on your dial then I don’t know what is

Take an extra 15% off all prices below using the code ‘CHICKIDS’. Code expires 21 June 2009.

1. Baby Ballet Shoes – Pink and Black, $18.95/pr
2. Star & Rose ‘Touch of Spice’ Votive Candle in Vanilla Pod fragrance, FREE with all KSF purchases while stocks last
3. Fairy Rainbow Dress, $32.95
4. Mermaid Dress Up Outfit, $32.95
5. Bebe Romper – Mia, $29.95 $22.46

Well, school’s well and truly in around the country now, but as the kiddlies start bringing home library books, artwork and more, you never know when you might just “need” a cool new update, or replacement item.

These beautiful, reusable and environmentally sustainable library bag options are just the thing if you’re in the market – so much better that lugging the books around in last week’s plastic bag from Woollies – check them out!

Kiddysac make fabulous library/swim bags in two sizes (large and medium), which feature drawstring tops and adjustable backpack straps.  There’s a huge range of bold colours with striking designs, making them ideal for young kids to remember which bag is theirs (“It’s the blue one with ballet shoes on it”).

You can buy Kiddysac bags at the following stores: Kinder Kaboodle, Little Explorers, and Pastel Pink.

Next let’s look at Envirosax.  Lightweight and small enough to be wadded up into a pocket when not in use, Envirosax are like environmentally friendly, reusable shopping bags.  They’re a great size for library books, especially picture books, and they’re cheap as chips!

You can find a superb range of  Envirosax bags at Pastel Pink.

Now we have Cocoon Couture, my personal favourite.  Featuring beautiful striped fabric and appliqued animal designs, these bags are quirky and totally adorable.  If you buy one of these bags you’ll want to keep it for yourself, rather than handing it over for the kids to use!

Get your Cocoon Couture bags from Urban Child, ShopHouse, Pastel Pink, Kinder Kaboodle and 5 Little Monkeys.

And may I just remind you to always check the KidStyleFile ‘All Current Deals’ page before making a purchase, just to make sure you’re getting yourself the best possible deal?

Here are some of the cool library bags on offer:

Please check individual sites for postage details.

For back to childcare/pre-school/kinder/school supplies you just can’t go by Kinder Kaboodle – www.kinderkaboodle.com.au. This fabulous store, run by genuine sweetheart Bernice, is purpose-built to make life kitting your kids as easy as pie.

For backpacks, large enough to accommodate lunch, snacks, art projects, and a change of clothes, whilst still being small enough for a little person to carry, choose from Kinder Kaboodle’s fab range from Rush, Tiger Tribe, Mini Rhubarb, Fleurville (my personal faves!), and Zebra Crossing (now on sale!). For swim bags and library bags, check out the range from Kiddysac. Choose from the cute range of bag tags from The Bag Tag Studio to ensure that your backpack is easily identifiable.

Drink bottles from Alex & Charli, Rush and Tatiri are essential to keep your little one hydrated.

Lunch boxes are another essential, and the insulated varieties are great for keeping food fresh and bacteria free. Fleurville Kids, and Fridge-To-Go lunch bags are just the thing. There are also a super selection of lunch bags from Penny Scallan, Bestever, 4 My Earth (fantastic eco-friendly options!), Crocodile Creek, and Rush.

Many schools are now requesting that your child front up with a hand towel with a loop. Kinder Kaboodle saves the day, with towels from Feef (who also make the world’s best smocks, in my opinion -  *nothing* can soak through these babies!).

Name personalisation services are also available on many of the products at Kinder Kaboodle – Kinder Kaboodle is a full service!

To further sweeten your shopping experience, you can enter ‘KSF’ in the discount code/coupon section at checkout to receive 10% off all orders at Kinder Kaboodle until 31 January 2009.
