Description
This kids' transparent dome umbrella has a clear canopy printed all over with rows of cheerful rainbows and falling raindrops, ready to brighten a grey day. The rainbows are layered in soft pink, sunny yellow and orange inside mint arcs, with raindrops in mint and pink scattered between them. A mint hook handle, a matching mint trim around the rim and little mint tips on each spoke finish it neatly. It measures 76cm across and 70cm high, and at just 0.228KG it is light enough to carry on a long walk.
The deep dome curves down around the shoulders, and because the canopy is see-through, whoever is underneath can still watch the path ahead on the walk to school, a trip into town or a muddy ramble in the countryside. It is a cheerful way to help children look forward to wet weather instead of grumbling about it, and the bright rainbows turn a dull, drizzly morning into something to smile about. Kept by the front door alongside the wellies and raincoats, it is ready to grab whenever the clouds roll in.
The canopy is made from POE plastic stretched over plastic spokes on a slim iron shaft, and the handle, top cap and push-up mechanism are plastic too, so it opens and closes by hand with a simple slide. After a shower, leave it open to dry before folding it away, and wipe the canopy with a damp cloth now and then to keep the print looking clear and bright. Wrap a ribbon around the hook handle and it makes a bright, useful present for a child who loves splashing in puddles, and it goes with a raincoat of any colour.
