Yesterday my tiny little niece took her first ever flight. 11 hours. Ug. Thankfully, she had a pair of these very fun, bright pram shoes by Playtoes to keep her entertained on the flight.
Playtoes asked us to be some of the first to try out these wonderful fun shoes and I volunteered by 5 month old niece to be a tester. The Playtoes butterfly shoes arrived in a very groovy presentation pack and made a wonderful gift.
Playtoes are currently available in either a blue bumblee design or these pink butterfly design shoes. The shoes themselves are a very soft pram shoe designed for pre-walkers from 3 months upwards to keep feet warm and protected when you are out and about. But Playtoes are so much more than just shoes...
The shoes are designed to stimulate your baby's senses and at 5 months old, my niece is just at the age when she will discover her feet. This is a time for exploring sounds and textures. The Playtoes shoes have lots of different textures such as soft, leathery, crinkly, smooth. The shoes have rattly bits and crinkly scrunchy bits. The butterflies are attached with velcro and are designed to encourage your baby to pull them and tweak them as they discover their feet. Reaching down and exploring those feet is great exercise for small muscles that are just starting to learn to work hard!
I love the attention to detail - especially the cute embroidery at the back of the heel. And I think the shiny toes and high-contrast black and white soles are both strokes of genius which I know will attract a baby's attention. And it is nice to know that, with all the excitement going on outside the shoes, that the inside hasn't been neglected - the lining is a really soft cotton. I really hope that the Playtoes pram shoes provide enough entertainment during that long, long flight!
Playtoes cost £22 and are available direct or through amazon.
A couple of weeks ago I ran a competition to win your own pair of Playtoes pram shoes - the winner was Catherine Miller. You can keep uptodate with Playtoes on the Playtoes Facebook Page or follow Playtoes on Twitter .
