Scout Baby organic play clothes for kidsWhen I first discovered Scout Baby organic children’s clothes at the Bubble trade show a few years ago, it was still a big deal to find fair trade organic clothes that were so soft and so vibrantly colored. Now a lot has changed in that world, and a lot has changed with Scout too.

Mimi Leinbach’s organic kids’ clothing line still features soft, high-quality, made-for-play clothes for babies and toddlers, but the spring/summer collection has evolved from featuring esoteric tribal symbols to more classic motifs like monkeys and sharks, all on lovely solids or thick stripes.

I totally love the basic camp shirts for boys which are comfy and a little stretchy and so (so!) hard to find without tools or trucks on them. And the striped girls’ dresses are both feminine and playground ready. Such is the benefit of a good, sturdy Scout Baby organic dress for girlscotton. I’m also digging the cotton twill skirt with the shorts built right in–a godsend. While the other clothes are slightly generous, this one runs a little small in the waist so if you’ve got a skinny little toddler like I do it’s perfect.

While prices are pretty reasonable, if you’ve got a second kid, divide it in half; these are the clothes  designed to last through both of them. –Liz
