Summer is here—and while kids may be ready to jump into the fun, parents know it's also time to prep for sun safety, cool comfort, and mess-free adventures. Whether you're planning a family vacation or just looking to keep your little one comfy at home, this guide brings you the Top 10 Summer Essentials for Kids—including some must-haves from Famyo, your go-to for kid-friendly home comfort.
1. Poncho Towel: A Must-Have for Pool Days & Bath Time
Nothing screams summer like pool dips and messy ice cream hands. A poncho towel is a game-changer for quick drying and easy cover-up. Unlike regular towels, these come with a hoodie-style design that makes it easier for kids to slip on after water play.
Try the Famyo Poncho Towel – ultra-absorbent, lightweight, and made for all the summer splashes.
2. Famyo Glow Blanket: Comfort + Fun in One
Yes, it’s summer. Yes, your kid still wants their comfort blanket. The Famyo Glow Blanket is not just cozy—it glows in the dark, making it perfect for bedtime snuggles under the AC. Plus, it’s lightweight enough for summer nights.
Bonus: Kids LOVE the glowing stars. You’ll love that it’s breathable.
3. Breathable Bedsheet Sets for Hot Nights
Hot, sticky nights = cranky kids. Invest in a lightweight bedsheet that keeps them cool. Cotton or microfiber sheets work best.
Check out Famyo Bedsheet Sets – soft, durable, and sized perfectly for kids' beds. The 3 PC bedsheet set includes a bedsheet and two pillow covers for a coordinated summer look.
4. Hydration Bottles with Fun Prints
Reusable, BPA-free water bottles with straws or no-spill caps are essential to avoid dehydration. Choose bottles that are fun enough that your kid actually wants to drink water!
5. UV-Protective Swimwear & Sunglasses
Kids’ skin is more sensitive to UV rays. Look for UPF 50+ swimsuits and UV400 sunglasses that protect their eyes. Bonus points if they’re character-themed (Spidey, Peppa, we see you!).
6. AC Blanket for Daytime Naps & Travel
If your little one naps under the fan or AC, a full-blown winter quilt isn’t the answer. A light AC blanket gives just enough warmth for those breezy afternoons.
Famyo’s glow blanket doubles as an AC blanket, keeping nap time both cool and cozy.
7. Summer-Ready Footwear (Crocs, Flip-Flops, and More)
Barefoot on hot tiles? Not ideal. Invest in washable, breathable footwear that protects tiny feet and is easy to clean. Velcro straps = added bonus.
8. Outdoor Play Gear (Think: Water Guns, Bubble Makers)
Help them burn off energy the fun way. Water-based toys keep kids cool while offering hours of entertainment. Don't forget the sunscreen, though!
9. Travel-Friendly Snack Containers
Summer often means road trips and park visits. Airtight snack boxes with multiple compartments make it easier to pack fruits, sandwiches, and treats without mess.
10. Cooling Wet Wipes and Natural Mosquito Repellent
For sticky faces, muddy hands, or unexpected bug bites, these two items are non-negotiable in your summer kit.
