With Back to School right around the corner, we received the Art Smock to review in the Cat in the Hat pattern. The photo really does not do the pattern justice. It is so adorable and the boys were excited to see one of their storybook characters on it. I am all for anything that reminds children of reading.

The smock is made of Bumkins' proprietary waterproof fabric, which is stain and odor resistant. Importantly and one of my favorite features is that it is PVC, BPA, Phthalate & Vinyl Free. The fabric is extremely durable and you can tell it is made of high quality material. It has a tie closure to keep it from falling off. Just machine washable and hang it to dry.

Now here is the important part and the part I messed up when they asked us what item we wanted to review. The Art Smock measures 16" across chest, 17" from neck down, 40" cuff to cuff. Although it is designed to fit 2 - 5 year old, my 3 year old did not fit in it. He was just too broad across the chest and we should have went with an apron. (Notice this is why I have no great photos of my son in it like the other moms.) I had chosen this because I love the coverage it gives because it goes farther down the arm. Messy preschoolers need all the coverage they can get. I hope Bumkins decides to make this in bigger sizes in the future.

This is a long shot from my dad's old shirt that I used to paint in when I was little!!!! Your little ones will be even more excited to paint when to get to wear this and you'll love keeping their clothes nice and looking like new. Of course, maybe my 3 year old should wear it all day ;) I think every shirt he owns has a stain of some sort on it at the end of the day.
