Kids bucket hat, 0 to 5

Morning walks get bright fast once the stroller turns south. We shaped this sun hat from soft cotton to throw quiet shade over eyes and cheeks while toddlers dig in the grass. The back buckle snugs up the fit as they grow through the seasons.

Cotton for hot mornings

The lightweight weave breathes easy on warm park afternoons. It absorbs dampness at the forehead and keeps little heads cool under midday glare.

Stays on in wind

A chin cord keeps the hat from blowing off near the water or getting yanked into the grass. Little hands have a harder time tossing it aside.

Buckle at the crown

The toggle buckle at the back adjusts the fit around the head without pinching. You cinch it down on windy days or loosen it as hair grows.

Navy and soft slate

Deep navy blue paired with cool gray hides the garden dirt and sandbox dust well. It drops right into the wash when the day is done.
