Ice hockey star in the making!

We were thrilled to get these pictures of 6-year-old Patrik playing ice hockey in his waterproof winter salopettes - all the way from the Czech republic!

Big thanks to proud auntie Petra for sharing.

VikingKids weather

So how are we at VikingKids making the most of the snow? First things first, unlike much of the country it seems, we weren't snowed in today so were able to make it to our stock room and all orders were shipped as scheduled. As you can imagine we're very busy!

The winter range is selling out fast, however we still have our cosy, fully waterproof winter coats in a selection of colours in most sizes, with winter salopettes in the same material also still available in most sizes. The hugely popular pompom hats went fast, but we still have a small number of purple hats in the 1-year and 6-year sizes. The black winter hat is also still available in the 1-year-size - there is nothing to beat this incredibly soft, warm hat for snugness! The lovely microfleece cap by Nanook is still available in all sizes.

The all-in-one snowsuit has now sold out, as have the winter gloves. We still have a small number of the baby snowsuit in the smallest size, 60 cm, which is actually plenty big enough for most 6-7-month olds, and the ever-popular fleece overall is back in stock in all colours and sizes. The waterproof mittens have temporarily sold out in the 2- and 4-year sizes but will be back again next month.



We did have the opportunity to make the obligatory snow man today, kitted out in our full winter outfits. Note the "hair" devised following the 5-year-old's insistence that a hat wouldn't be creative enough...

Exhausted by a morning building snowmen in preschool and an afternoon of snowball fights in the park, the 3-year-old decided to take a nap, protected by the comfort of his snowsuit and not the slightest bit worried by the snow falling ever heavier around (and on!) him.

We ended the day in traditional Swedish fashion by building a snowball lantern - just like my own childhood!

Snow play!

Seems like most of the UK (and much of the rest of Europe) is having real Viking weather! We hope that you're staying safe, warm and dry and that you're enjoying the snow, just like these young customers.

Alex (left) is clearly delighted with his snow day in his Swedish rain set - what a gorgeous smile! Thank you Corinne for sharing.














Shih-Chi sent us this fun picture of her two boys testing their waterproof dungarees to the limit - thank you so much.













Harry, in Hertfordshire, is equipped for anything with his winter coat, waterproof overtrousers and mittens all supplied by VikingKids - we have to admit that we like the hat and scarf too!
