They’re kids only once, and pretty soon they might be rejecting all your fashion choices, I’m sorry to tell you. For now, though, you have your own ideas about how they should dress, and "cutie patootie" is the name of the game!

Lucky you! The Woodlands area has several options for cute, fashionable, and high-quality kids clothing, shoes, and other boutique items. Here are 3 of our favorites:

Kid’s Anthem

Kid’s Anthem is a clothing and toy boutique in Downtown Tomball, and it’s the favorite store on our list! They have the CUTEST clothes for boys and girls, along with many unique toys and trinkets.

Let me tell you… I walked into Kid’s Anthem thinking I would just be taking photos, because my younger girls are getting too big for stuff like this, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that they sell size 14 clothing items (for my 13 year old), and PLENTY of size 10 options for my 9-year-old.  So you can shop this store throughout just about all of their childhood.

Teacups and Tadpoles

If you’re on the hunt for precious embroidered smocked dresses, you’ve found it! Located in the Panther Creek Shopping Center, Teacups and Tadpoles is the longest-standing Woodlands-area children’s boutique. My oldest child goes off to college this year, and I popped into this store often when she was a youngster. They sell clothing for newborn to size 10 in girls and newborn to size 6 in boys, along with blankets, bibs, activity kits, toys, mommy & me matching sets, and more. When I last visited, several senior adults were there shopping for their grandkids, and it was a delight to strike up conversation with them and listen to them share their joys of grandparenting!

Threadfare

I stumbled upon Threadfare quite by accident recently, as I strolled through the Creekside Park Village Green shopping center. The small, family-owned store features an ever-evolving curation of boutique brands and products for babies and kids up to tween ages. I especially liked the assortment of cute sleep-and-plays for infants, because face it, that's mostly what we're dressing them in every day anyway! 

The Woodlands location is their second location, with the first one located in the Garden Oaks area of Houston.

Kid to Kid The Woodlands

Resell stores are some of the best places to find cute kid’s clothing items, and Kid to Kid in the Indian Springs Shopping Center makes it affordable for you to keep your little one in style. With a variety of brands and styles, and a frequent intake of merchandise, you’ll find new items each time to shop here. Clothing, shoes, boots, toys, jackets, PJs, baby gear (strollers, etc.) books, and more are all inside these 4 walls! You’ll even find some brand new boutique-style items like hair bows and dance shoes.
