50% off these kids' jelly shoe bestsellers - plus everything else we're buying in the Kidly sale
Our Consumer Editor's top picks from the Kidly 7th birthday sale
To celebrate turning 7 years old, British online kidswear store Kidly is running a 7-day sale with up to 50% off their seven most popular brands - including their best-selling jelly shoes!
I like to think of myself as an early adopter when it comes to Kidly, having stumbled across it back in the day when I was looking for cute, sustainable toys and clothing for kids - that didn't cost a fortune. Whether I'm seeking inspiration for the best toys to give as birthday gifts or shopping for kidswear staples, Kidly is one of my go-to online shopping spots for all things kids.
If you’re the proud owner of a 0-5-year-old (or closely related to one...) and you haven’t yet come across Kidly, you’re seriously missing out. Started in 2015 by James Hart - the first person to be employed by Asos - Kidly stocks cool, Instagrammable brands like Liewood, Janod, and Little Dutch, as well as its own in-house brand, Kidly Label, which features OEKO-TEX certified clothing and uses organic or sustainable materials.
Plus, standard delivery is free when you spend £50 and you can return orders within 365 days for a full refund.
Kidly's 7th Birthday Sale - our top picks
Scroll down to shop the best of the Kidly 7th birthday sale for up to 50% off a range of cool kids' toys and clothing.
1. Kidly Label Jelly Sandal, £14 £7
A number one bestseller for Kidly, these jelly sandals are as practical as they are cute, thanks to the covered toes and the comfy, cushioned insole - which you can remove for fast drying after a paddle. I love the buckle design for a smart look but it's actually a velcro fastening so kids can get them on and off with ease.
3. 2-Pack Tights | £8 £6.50
It might not be tights weather but this is a great opportunity to stock up on some staple winter woollies for kids. These soft, ribbed tights contain recycled cotton and have an elasticated waist that Kidly says stays put, no matter how much of a wriggler your little one is.
5. 4-Pack Eco Spoons & Forks £8 £6.50
For little foodies who are ready to move on to scooping and spearing their food, these easy-grip spoons and forks are recyclable and biodegradable, and made from plant-based material with no BPAs or phthalates. You can also pop them in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.
6. Flower Sustainable Sunglasses | £14 £7
Have you ever seen anything cuter than a little cutie in a pair of flower shades? But they don't just look cool - these scratch-resistant frames are made from 100% recycled polycarbonate, while the polarised lenses provide category 3 UV400 protection to keep little eyes safe in the sun.
8. Inflatable Pool £22 £15.50
Whether you pop it up for cooling down on a hot summer's day or just use it for some sensory water fun, this compact inflatable pool is 79 cm in diameter which means it's quick to inflate but also super easy to empty and deflate when it's time to exit the pool.
10. Swimming Armbands £12 £8.50
With trendy colours and a stylish scalloped design, these cute armbands are easy to pop on and off no matter whether your little one is wet or dry. Match them with Kidly's coordinating
range which includes swimwear, the swim ring, paddling pool, and a bucket and spade set.
11. Jorn Beach Puzzle £28 £22.50
This is what happens if you cross a bucket and spade with a shape sorter! The eco-friendly lidded bucket is made from wheat straw plastic and comes with eight animal-shaped moulds that youngsters can use for water play or in the sand, plus you can 'post' them through the relevant shaped hols in the lid of the bucket.
12. Emotions Magnetic Game £27 £19
Oh, how I wish a game like this had been around when my teens were toddlers! Designed to help little ones name and understand their feelings, it comes with 10 emotional states for them to choose from, including joy, fear, sadness, and anger, plus a mirror so that they can try to mimic the relevant facial expressions!
13. Toy Cash Register With Scanner £21 £19
Kids never tire of playing shops but this toy cash register takes things to the next level with its elegant design - and a scanner and payment card included.
14. JabadabadoTapas Board £24 £17
Confession: I want this wooden grazing board toy as a cool little ornament in my office, never mind for kids to play with! It comes with salami, cheese, and grapes which attach to the board with velcro, so kids can have fun using the wooden knife to 'cut' everything up for a picnic.
16. Fruity Blender £39 £27.50
My daughter has this toy and it's one of her all-time favourite play items - she has returned to it again and again since toddlerhood and still won't let me get rid of it, even though she's nearly 10 years old! At this price, it's brilliant value for an 'investment' toy that can be used for years and even passed down when (if?!) it's eventually outgrown. You get the blender and jug plus a wooden ice cube tray with four cubes, various fruit pieces, and some utensils.
