Description
This kids' push-up umbrella is covered all over in a cheerful print of bright red ladybirds, trailing vines and daisy-like flowers on a deep teal-blue ground. Pink, yellow and white blooms sit among pale green leaves, with the odd butterfly fluttering between them, so there is always something new for a small person to spot. The canopy is nylon, the frame is metal, and the curved hook handle and the round tips on each rib are a bright red plastic that picks out the ladybirds. It measures 70cm wide, 70cm long and 53cm high, and weighs just 0.202KG, so it is light enough for little hands to carry without tiring.
We think it makes a grey morning on the school run feel a lot brighter. It suits walks to nursery or school, trips to the park and puddle-jumping on wet weekends, and a simple push-up action opens the canopy. The hook handle gives a comfortable grip and hangs neatly over a coat peg or the back of a chair when it is not in use. For children who love minibeasts, gardens and anything red and spotty, it is an easy favourite, and it looks right at home alongside wellies and a bright raincoat.
A matching strap wraps around the closed canopy and fastens to keep it neat and tidy by the front door or in the car between outings. After a wet walk, open it out and leave it to dry naturally before folding it away, and wipe the handle and frame with a damp cloth whenever they need it. Smooth the canopy along its folds before fastening the strap so it keeps its shape. As a present, it is a bright and practical choice for a child who loves bugs and flowers, and we think it gives them a cheerful reason to look forward to the next rainy day.
