Child Aprons - When The Mess Has To Be Accounted For
How many parents have watched their children gleefully playing with paints or clay making lots of curious treasures for mum and dad? Actually a lot of children make these things at school and bring them home but one thing that all of these children have in common is the fact that most of them will be wearing an apron at the same time!
Child aprons are incredibly useful for children’s activities, particularly as most of these types of pursuits are very messy! The best type of child apron is one which goes over the head and then ties at the back as it secures itself in place and is less likely to come off. There are also the types which go over the head and have a back and a front and do up at the sides, even better as you end up covering more of the child.
Child aprons come in many different designs and styles. One of the cheapest ways is to make your own, and let’s face it, with the minimum of sewing machine skills as an apron has to be one of the easiest sewing tasks you could undertake, you can conjure up quite a unique project and personalize it to your own child.
Child aprons can have the actual hand prints of your child on it; they could have your child’s name all over it or their favorite nursery rhyme or Disney character, etc. You do not need to be the artist, most craft shops sell transfers or prints that you can apply to the finished apron to give it that personal ‘touch’.
Then there are the days when your little ‘darling’ wants to help you in the kitchen. That’s when you really need an apron! In fact the whole kitchen needs an apron! Seriously though, sometimes it is just nice to be like mum in those circumstances and put their apron on to do the cooking. A great area for boys or girls these days seeing as most good chefs on the TV are men! Just make sure that your little boy has something like a picture of ‘Shrek’ on his apron and your little girl may prefer just about anything as long as it is ‘girly’.
Whatever the case, make sure you have a child apron handy the next time your little one decides they want to make a mess. You will not regret it!
