Parents, I know your child will only use their winter coat about 3-5 times a year.
Option 1: Leave it at school and buy a new one next year.
Option 2: Look through these pictures and find your coat. Bring it home.
Option 3: Ask your kid to show you their winter coat at home. If they can’t, come and see me at L&F! I am lonely and the coats are not chatty.

Also available:
- 3 water bottles
- Frisbee
- Sketch book
- Hats and gloves
- Random striped towel
