An apron for children and a forgotten story

Posted by maryparker on January 19th, 2013

When you invite your kid’s friends to his/her birthday party, you may organize some cooking party. Unfortunately, children may make a real mess and stain their clothes with grease and chocolate or “paint” them in white with flour. To avoid any damage of their clothes, you should better buy some children’s aprons and use this opportunity to tell them a tender story about past times and the enchanted apron of your grandmother. Numerous online shops present a wide choice of such pieces of clothing where you can select any style and color you like. You can pay online and have your apron for children soon at home.

Do not forget the story, as children are fond of stories. And if they do not know what an apron is, this is the perfect opportunity for them to find it out. They will certainly ask what are aprons all about, where do they come from, and many other questions kids are expert in. To explain all those things, use the example of your grandmother’s apron. You may tell them why an apron was necessary. At that time, there was no washing machine, or not all people could afford one. Therefore, women like our grandmothers, who did not have many dresses in their wardrobe, preferred to wear an apron all day long in order to protect their clothes underneath. This apron was washed after a couple of days and made Grandma’s life easier.

If kids ask what that apron was useful for, you can tell them the story of the enchanted apron your grandmother used to bring wonderful things in. You certainly remember those fallen apples of the orchard, or the fresh eggs she brought from the chicken coop, or the tasty vegetables from the garden. Every time she came in, another surprise was hiding in her apron. This one was also good for harder tasks like bringing kindling wood for fire into the kitchen. Then she was always preparing something good for dinner and, when everything was ready, she waved the same apron from the porch of the house to call for dinner the men from the fields.

Those beautiful times meant a lot of tender things that happened around Grandma’s apron. Shy kids could find a perfect place to hide behind it if they felt uncertain when a stranger approached. How many children’s tears did Grandma’s apron dry! It also cleaned out dirty ears from time to time. And even if there were a lot of germs on that apron, kids never got ill, because there was much love and tenderness there. Feelings that almost faded in our modern times, feelings that those children’s aprons you give may revive. And every time you look at an apron for children you may feel again that love and safety that your grandmother’s apron meant.

Children’s aprons are useful objects of clothing when kids are playing or learning to cook. An apron for children is a perfect gift for your child, to whom you have to tell the story of Grandma’s apron.
