One of the tasks on the road to independence for youngsters is being able to get dressed with help. When clothes are easy to deal with, it gives kids an invaluable step up leading to an “I-can-do-it-all-myself” moment. In addition to helping hold up pants, Velcro belts from
Myself Belts boost esteem when a potty-training toddler or preschooler manages without adult help. All belts in this line use the company’s patented one-handed Velcro closure and also offer an optional buckle that sits at the child’s waist, but is just to provide a more traditional look.
Belts for girls include Rock Star, adorned with stars on a soft charcoal ground, while Rainbow comes in shades of light green, yellow, pink, and blue in ribbon overlaying pink webbing. For fun, there is Big Dot with pink and orange circles on white ribbon with pink webbing backing, Pink Peace with different colored peace symbols on a pink ground, multicolored Butterfly on white ground, and solid colors including pink, black, brown, navy and others.
For little guys, stock designs like the navy twill Fire Truck with all the right stuff to fulfill his inner hero: fire trucks, hydrants, and fire hoses. How about Pirate, a skull and crossbones pattern on black ground? Or the khaki ground Dinosaur design with different colored dinos on parade? Patterns of Tools, Airplanes and Guitars are also offered as well as solids in red, khaki, brown, black and other colors. A slide-on buckle is available, but it’s just for show and can be moved from one Myself Belt to another.
The innovative design of these belts garnered a finalist spot from Red Tricycle in the Most Awesome Accessory category as well as kudos from iParenting Media and Parents with Style!
