From newly walking toddlers to preschoolers, to big kids, Kamik has your family covered with the warmest – and waterproof – winter boots that will keep tiny toes cozy all season long.

The Parker boot is fashionable – and more importantly, easy to put on – twist on the classic tan & black boot. These boots are 100% waterproof, yet still allow feet to breathe, and keeps those toes toasty, down to -25 degrees.

Both are entirely waterproof and made with Kamik’s own RubberHE bottoms – a super-light rubber that won’t weigh them down when splashing in puddles and playing in the snow.

Wireless Kid-Friendly Headphones by Puro Sound Labs

Perfect for the tech-savvy kid

How many times a day do you tell your child to turn down the dang electronics volume? For us, it seems like eleventy billion times a day. We have been in the market for some kid-friendly headphones, but couldn’t get past the worry that our Daily Kids would jack up the volume so much that they’d damage their little ears. So when we found these headphones from Puro Sound Labs, we were over the moon.

These headphones were designed with kids in mind. Any volume over 85 decibels has been known to damage hearing, and that’s precisely why Puro headphones don’t go over that limit. And the even better part is that these headphones are so smartly designed and so high-tech, your child won’t need to jack up the volume anyway. Why? Because they’re equipped with Puro Balanced Response, which means they run on a frequency curve designed to closely mimic in-room speaker response, and equally balanced bass, vocal, and highs, to deliver clear sound without excessive volume. They also have 82% ambient noise isolation, meaning they provide clear sound at non-excessive volume, even in loud environments.

The padded headband and ear pieces are uber-squishy and comfortable, and – best part – they’re completely wireless! Each charge provides 18 hours of listening, or 200 hours of standby time.
