So many of you would have already heard of our original Slipkits and our latest Slipkit pick and mix release, both available across a wide range in sizes 3-8, but not so many of you will know about our latest product launch, specifically aimed for our little ones – the Slipkit Kids Sheepers. Let us take you back to where it all started when Nicola found her 3-year-old daughter Jess colouring in her own shoes! She had only been left alone with her colouring in pens for two minutes yet there she was, colouring in her own shoes despite being surrounded by an endless number of colouring books! To be fair, she didn’t do too bad of a job, but alas a lightbulb moment occurred.
So, we began digging and doing our research which-again found that the market was already saturated with a large range of “colour me in” type of clothing, but nowhere could we find slippers. Not the real and warm sheepskin type of slippers that you can ACTUALLY use. Realistically as a parent, once your child has coloured in an item of clothing the chances of actually getting them to wear their coloured in outfit out are low. This is what makes our Slipkit Kids kits so special, in that the colouring in occurs on incredible vinyl stickers which you can remove, change and even wear without! As we have to be honest, the style of slippers we have chosen to go with will look great with or without a child’s artistic flare.
We set ourselves the challenge of creating the ultimate crafting activity for children, whilst also being as sustainable as we possibly can be. As always, our luxurious slippers are made sustainably, as we ensure that the sheepskin we use is used from off cuts.
However, for the first time our outer packaging also includes a fun sustainable element of an array of riveting activities inside and out the box. These activities range from crazy word searches to mysterious mazes and are guaranteed to keep children occupied for ages! If you were thinking ‘wow, this seems like a great idea’ – we did not stop there. The A3 piece of tissue paper, which is used to present each kit beautifully, is covered with dozens of hand illustrated fairies, astronauts and safari animals also waiting to be coloured in!
Our Slipkit Kids crafting kit is the perfect activity to finish off the summer holidays whilst simultaneously going into autumn and winter with a cosy new pair of Sheepers slippers. Each kit includes 2x colouring in sheets of vinyl stickers which can be selected to suit your child’s specific interests whether that be fairies and princesses, space and astronauts, safari animals, vehicles or dinosaurs! The best part is that if your child decides to switch up their slippers and no longer wants dino-themed footwear, we have the 4 additional designs available to be purchased here for just £2.50 for a pack of two sheets, so you can constantly keep up with your children’s interests.
We have the Cricut team to thank for this, as we teamed up @Cricut at the start of the year who provided us with the most genius piece of tech; the Cricut Maker 3. It is absolutely incredible, and we would highly recommend their machines to any keen crafters out there. You can do SO much with it from personalising clothing to designing and cutting vinyl stickers and labels or even your own 3D cards.
We managed to find extra special models for our shoot Ava (age 9) and Brandon (age 6) who loved every minute of the activity and still continue to play with their Sheepers slippers. We spent 3 hours filming content but at times struggled to get their attention away from our crafting kit! Whether that was colouring in the tissue, to completing our dot to dot or sticking their stickers on their amazing new slippers. It was a true joy to watch. In fact, if we learnt anything from Ava and Brandon, it is that our Slipkit Kids will bring out the inner creative streak inside of our little ones so much that they may just end up actually drawing all over them instead and hand designing their very own pair of Sheepers!
Available in Sizes 5 (Toddler) – 3 (Junior) here.
We recommend our Slipkit kids for ages over 2.
