Wilson & Frenchy


New to nestling this Winter is the gorgeous baby brand, Wilson & Frenchy. The muted colours and soft textures are perfect for little babies and a number of styles will suit both boys and girls.

With sizes from 0000 to 0, this Melbourne-based brand uses only the finest cotton and ensure their garments are produced in fair trade factories. Each design is unique and individually hand illustrated.

In case you haven't already viewed our Wilson & Frenchy collection here's a sneak peak of what's on offer and how to team them up.

If you like all-in-ones these are sure to impress:

The top two feature zips and the Little forest one has studs, and is also the only footless option.

Almost a complete outfit in one but they can be enhanced with the addition of the Petite stripe knot hat or the Little lark bib.

The boys' Little fox easy neck top looks beautiful with the Mini blue stripe leggings and the girls' Little family easy neck top looks gorgeous over the Petite pattern leggings with frills.



 And of course the Bunny rug can go under, or over, all of them!

We hope you love our new brand as much as we do.

Inside activities for a dreary day

Its a windy, rainy, cold day so what can you do with your nestlings? Try some (or all) of these. You're sure to find something the children will enjoy, and hopefully you will too!

10. Dressing up - a perennial favourite with boys and girls of all ages (and some mums and dads). If you haven't got a dress up box let them have some of your old clothes and jewellery. Accessories are always a hit.

9. Cooking up a storm - anything that requires mixing by hand is good for little people. Just keep it safe and don't stress about the mess.

8. Face painting - make sure its the kind of paint that washes off easily and go easy on the black, just in case...

7. Reading a story (or being read to) - important and fun for the reader and the one being read to. Stuck for ideas? Check out our blog: Children's book suggestions by age.


6. Drawing or colouring - as long as its on paper, not the walls, or carpet, or the dog...

5. Making an inside cubby house - there is something about pushing the chairs together and throwing a blanket over the top that always makes me smile.

4. Writing a story - rainy days are great for creativity. If your nestling isn't old enough to write their own, write a story just for them. Everyone likes being the hero/heroine.

3. Playing in a nice warm bath - fun for the whole family if your bath is big enough. This one can be combined with number 7, and may be necessary after 8 and 9.

2. Dressing up the cat or dog, or a soft toy - the soft toy may be the safest option, depending on the temperament of your cat or dog. I'd suggest you make sure the face paint has been put away before you start this one too.

1. Snuggling in front of the fire/heater - possibly while watching a movie and drinking hot chocolate. What better way to spend a dreary day?

Don't let the weather get you down. There are lots of fun things to do inside - you are only limited by your imagination. Just ask your nestlings, they're sure to come up with something creative. Enjoy!
