Turn One Quick Shop into a Big Adventure
It’s a chance to refresh their wardrobe with bold prints, comfy staples, and gear they actually want to wear. Come to Grand Central
Come for the prints and play-all-day outfits
This season’s kidswear is all about energy. Think citrus brights, bold stripes, cartoon prints and matching sets that take the guesswork out of getting dressed. Add a layer (like a light hoodie) for breezy mornings and they’re good to go. Shop the looks at: Cotton On Kids and Seed.
Come for the shoes made to move
New shoes are non-negotiable—especially after a winter growth spurt. This season it’s all about sporty slides, retro runners and neon kicks that double as playground cred. Once they’re on, they’re ready to run wild. Try: Rebel Sport, JD Sports and Country Road for the latest in cool kicks.
Come for the gear that keeps them cool
From drink bottles at Cotton On and sunnies at City Beach, beach-ready swimwear to UV-protective rashies and water shoes from Best and Less, now’s the time to stock up on sunny-day essentials. Don’t forget hats that (hopefully) stay on and goggles that don’t fog up after five minutes. Pick up seasonal extras at: Kmart and Big W.
Stay for the chaos (the good kind)
Once the list is ticked off, you’ve earned a pit stop—or three. Whether it’s a few rounds at iPlay, a slice of cheesy pizza from Vapiano, a scoop of refreshing goodness from Wendy's or San Churro, or a big-screen movie moment at Event Cinemas, there’s more than one way to reward a solid shop. And more often than not, what started as a quick in-and-out turns into a full-blown day out.
