Raindrops patter on clear plastic while savannah animals watch from above.

☔ Clear view transparent canopy lets them watch the rain and see where they're walking
🦒 Animal character savannah illustrations give a wet walk to the bus stop a story to tell
📏 Child-sized cover 70 cm wide and 68 cm tall when open, sized for a 3 to 6 year old without dragging
✋ Strong grip plastic handle sized for small hands to hold and steer independently
🔧 Sturdy frame 8 ribs hold the canopy open and taut in a gusty shower
👐 Own control manual opening means they push it up themselves, with no spring-loaded snap

The Educator's Note

The manual opening puts the child in control of raising and lowering the canopy, which builds two-handed coordination without a spring-loaded snap.
The transparent canopy keeps the child's sightline clear, so they can see puddles, kerbs and other people while walking. Opaque kids' umbrellas often block the view.
At 70 cm across and 68 cm tall, with a handle sized for small hands, a 3 to 6 year old can carry it themselves, and the open shape also works as a tent, shelter or safari prop in pretend play.

A child-sized umbrella with a clear canopy and savannah animal artwork. They can see the rain, the puddles and the world around them, so wet-weather walks feel less like a chore. Built for 3 to 6 year olds, the manual opening teaches them to raise and lower their own umbrella, while the small handle builds the grip and coordination they need for independence at preschool and in the early school years.

Also available in a great value bundle

Best suited to children who are ready to carry and manage their own wet-weather gear.

Preschoolers aged 3 to 4 who want to do the walk to preschool themselves, with a grown-up still close by
Kindergarten and Prep children aged 5 to 6 who need a reliable umbrella for the school run
Animal-loving kids who like to turn a rainy day into a savannah expedition
Families looking for a practical present that also invites pretend play, such as a birthday gift for a new 3 year old

The first umbrella they actually carry

Most kids start out sheltering under an adult's umbrella. Handing them their own changes the walk entirely. The clear canopy means they can look up at the raindrops hitting the plastic, then look straight ahead to spot the puddle they're about to stomp in. Savannah animal artwork adds a character to the canopy, so they have something to point at and talk about on the way.

Learning to open, hold and steer

The manual opening is the developmental detail here. There's no spring-loaded pop to startle them. They push the canopy up along the shaft, which takes two hands working together and a bit of resolve. The plastic handle is sized for small fingers, and keeping an umbrella upright against a breeze builds grip strength and wrist control, the same hand stamina that supports longer stretches of drawing and writing. As they grow, the job changes: a 3 year old needs a hand getting the canopy up, a 4 or 5 year old opens it alone, and a 6 year old carries it to school without a second thought.

Built for wet-weather days and pretend play

Eight ribs keep the canopy open and taut. At 70 cm across and 68 cm tall when open, it is a size they can manage alone without it dragging or overwhelming them. In Australia, a storm can roll in on a summer afternoon or a cold front can drop a week of drizzle in winter, so it earns its place by the front door. It also doubles as a prop. Tipped on its side it becomes a tent for soft toys, a shelter for a doll's picnic or a safari hat for an explorer. Expect it to be carried inside on dry days too. Quiet, battery-free and easy to wipe dry, it suits indoor and outdoor play alike. The manufacturer recommends it from 3 years, so it is not suitable for children under 3.
