The mum behind the Smocka, Marilu Wren, was Inspired by her own 3-year-old daughter, who would come home with soggy pockets full of her findings. Marilu wanted to create a child friendly version of the smock. She was aware that there was a lack of children’s clothing that allowed them to thrive outdoors, which she strongly believes is important for developing self-esteem and independence in small children. 

 

The Smocka currently comes in 4 styles, 2 for boys and 2 for girls. They are made of quality anti-pill fleece material and the pockets are waterproof. Each style was inspired by American quilting which gives it a retro look and features a stimulating design; on ‘Find the Monkey’, kids can look for the monkey hidden in the design. They can also be folded into a pillow for use in the car at the end of a long day.
