skipping hippos. GIVEAWAY!
As January comes to a close I find myself longing for spring. The cool breeze, trips to the park and farmers markets. There is nothing like catching glimpses of the first buds appearing on the trees, when the earth feels fresh and new. Skipping Hippos reminds me of spring and provides the perfect poncho for the weather that comes with it, the trips to the park, farmers markets, and evening bike rides.
The simplicity is brilliant. Slide it over your child's head and they're ready to go. The best part, no buttons, zippers or sleeves to deal with. It's on before they have time to wiggle away and take off out the door.
The lightweight fleece keeps your child warm , but not too hot and the ball fringe and embellishments add just the right amount of detail. Skipping Hippos ponchos come in a variety of sizes and colors ranging from 6 months to 4T.
Today Skipping Hippos offers your choice of one of the ponchos (a $46 value) shown above (Evelyn, Apple, Gretta) in size S, M or L, to TWO lucky winners, doubling your chances of winning!
Visit their site and tell us: what is your favorite Skipping Hippos Poncho?

I love the Gretta, there's nothing like a pop of fuschia to put a smile on my face!
They are all so adorable. I think I really like the brown - either the Gretta or the Jane. The names are also so cute!
Hmm, I'd pick Apple first, and then Gretta. Too cute!
Oh my crap! Could those be any cuter? I love the Greta or the Edna. Either one would be cute on my Lola.
I have to pick just one?
eeny meeny miney moe...
Gretta it is.
How stinkin cute are those!! I love the Penelope poncho.

i love the jane. versatile and could go on either a baby girl or boy.
Juniper was my fav but they are all adorable! HOw could you choose just one!
I would have to say that I love Edna, although I don't know if it's the resemblance of the kid modeling it to my adorable nephew or the fact that my favorite color is orange. When my 4 year old saw the picture of Eleanor he said "Wow! looks theres little red riding hood when she was a baby!"
Oh how I LOVE them. I think the Apple is my favorite. It would be perfect for the Bay Area weather. I am in love!!!!!
These poncho's are a great idea. I love the Gretta and Evelyn. So Cute!
I love love love the Gretta, perfect for our current rainy season here in CA!

I love these darling ponchos. I choose Edna for sure.
I love the Evelyn! I have been admiring them since I saw a review on another site.... so precious!!
I love the Adeline - so cute & modern.
Edna is by far my fav. What a cute little item to have for the spring...if it ever thaws here! Thanks so much!
It was a hard choice... I kept going back between my favorites. I think I'm going to have to say the Penelope. It's gorgeous!

I love Cindy- it's so bright!
I like Sabine best, mostly because that's my cat's name. They're all cute!
I think Sabine is my favorite, although they're all sweet. Thanks for entering me!
How could you choose just one? I would totally pick Adeline first, then it would be Evelyn, however I should choose Cindy because it would match my babies eyes perfectly!
I LOVE Skipping Hippos! These ponchos are high-quality and incredibly cute! I like all of them, but especially the "Jane" poncho. - Stephanie

How to choose? I'm liking them all. I'll say Margaret as I'm in a hot pink mood. They're darling.
Without a doubt the Edna shawl. I grew up with knowing a tiny Scottish woman named Edna Brown. I also LOVE orange.
Definitely Adeline! Too cute!
~Laurel
We would use this all the time! Apple for us!
I would love to have the Apple poncho for one of my darling granddaughters or the pink one. They are so cute!
The Evelyn would look so cute with the brown leg warmers I just got DD for Christmas.

These are just way too cute!! Perfect for my daughter. She hates putting her arms in the sleeves of jackets or anything long sleeved! I don't know why. These are perfect for her.
I love the Edna or Evelyn. Or Gretta or Jane. Arrhh, I love them all!!
I love the Evelyn from the three listed. And Skylar is also a keeper! What a great idea for keeping baby warm:)
What an adorable contest. The ponchos are very cute! I would pick the
"Cindy" poncho because it is my name and I like the colors. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi

How cute! I love the Jane and Gretta. Brown's are so "in" this season and any little girl would be so stylish in one the these ponchos!!!
I love the Greta but another product I love is the Day in May Jackets - so cool! :)
i think the skylar or the jane would work well on my little boy!
I love them all, but especially love the cute little girl posing in "Edna", what a cutie! Tami
Wow, they are all so darling!
Perfect for my wee one arriving this September ...
Love the 'Jane' ... I'm addicted to all things chocolate brown!
Cass
Well looking at all of the ponchos I fell in love with all of them. But out of the three I love the oh who am I kidding I loved them all. I automatically thought pink, but then the green is so cute and different then what I would usually choose.
I can't choose! I love the red ones, they give me such happy "Little Red Riding Hood" feelings. But would hot pink be better? Oh dear. Cute as a button, every last one.
I love the Kortney! Do you think there is any way I could make it more masculine, because I'm not sure my husband would be too happy about my boys in ric rac!!
These are sensational. If I had to choose, Raine is my favorite! (Edna is also very cute!)

Oh my, I love the Evelyn, and I have a girly-girl who adores pink.
Maybe it is the cute "model" but I love the Adeline poncho. It is adorable.
Oh, I definitely love the Gretta. Ridiculously cute!
Definitely Apple.
The Kortney. It is so classic and would look awesome with a pair of patent leather shoes. Gotta have it!!!
I like the Eleanor. I love red.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the light pink with green trim. I think it so cute, and I like it because I think it would look cute in the summer (when it is rainy and you need to wear a poncho)and in the fall!
Oh I love the Evelyn! I'm having our first baby in May and this is just too cute!
I love the Gretta! These poncho's are adorable! I love them and would love to see my child in one!
They are all so cute, but the Juniper is my favorite!
It's between the Evelyn and the Sabine!
These ponchos are the most adorable piece of clothing I have saw in a while. I would have to choose the Evelyn because my girls a pink girl.
I can't decide between apple and Margaret!
the gretta is beautiful
i love this idea
elkesten[at]yahoo[dot]com

I'm crazy about the Apple Poncho.
i love it! Adeline is my favorite!
I'd have to go with the Evelyn... to my surpise I dress my daughter in pink almost all the time.
Ooh the Adeline and the Juniper are a tie for me, I love pink and green but the hot pink is tooo cute! What a perfect piece for the chilly winter and springtime (in UT) air. -Jessica
I love the pink and green combo. The little floral trim is just darling.
Oh these are DARLING!!! I love both the Gretta and the Marcia. My niece would look so cute in one of these!

I like the evelyn or the gretta but the gretta would probably show less dirt.
