Okay, I cheated. This week I just couldn’t stick to only five things… there’s simply too much adorable kids’ stuff out there. (Sorry boys—this one leans a bit girly, but with two daughters, it was bound to happen.) From SPF and sun hats to beauty kits and bead sets, these are little moments of joy for your tiniest muses—keeping them safe, inspired, and (most importantly) busy. Because if your summer’s as packed as mine, you’ll be grateful for anything easy, fun, and super engaging. Avec amour,
Violette | | The perfect size for your kids (and your carry-on), this French pharmacy–inspired probiotic cream spray is a staple in our house—gentle enough for kids, and just as effective for grown-ups. Made with safe ingredients like fermented birch sap, it helps calm, rebalance, and hydrate skin—for post-sun exposure, minor irritation, or just a quick refresh.
| | Since visiting Mexico City, I’ve been loving all things embroidered. Maison Mangostan makes adorable kids’ clothes with a bit of bohemian flair. It’s the kind of brand that makes you ask, “Do they have that in my size?” This sweet little tie-vest top with pomegranate and peacock cross-stitch is currently on sale—get it while you can!
| | I know, I know—a bit of a cliché for me. But I simply can’t resist this adorable vanity kit from Le Toy Van. It’s the perfect way to keep my girls from getting into my own beauty kit (though I do love seeing them play with my formulas). Plus, I love that it’s made from FSC®-certified wood and cotton—no plastic at all.
| | I love this hat woven with vegan papyrus straw—it keeps the sun out of their faces, but still feels sweet and special, with a touch of Victorian charm thanks to the soft cotton lace tie. It comes in both baby and kid sizes, so you can find the perfect fit for your littlest sun-lovers.
| | This little twist-up stick is a summer essential. Made with 100% mineral non-nano zinc, it’s baby-safe, ultra-gentle, and totally mess-free—perfect for tossing in your beach bag or letting the kids swipe on themselves. It glides on sheer, blends easily, and hydrates with calming plant extracts like squalane, so it’s truly sun care meets skincare—for the whole family.
| | Super Smalls makes jewelry for kids that's inspired by the grown-up world—giving little ones their own chic accessories. This summer-themed ‘Make It Splash’ bead kit comes with the sweetest charms (like tiny seashells and coral) and honestly cute enough to borrow for my own charm necklace.
| | With an illustration designed by my daughter Inès when she was just four years old, this joyful Robot Family tee celebrates the arrival of her little sister, Lune. It’s our family’s way of giving back—made from 100% BCI cotton, with 100% of profits going to UNICEF to support children around the world.
