Now children can enjoy lots of play time hours from the kid’s lab coats you will purchase for them. Kids always love to pretend or imitate grown-ups. And if it’s a “doctor” or “scientist” they want to be, these little “scientists” or “doctors” need protection, too. Kid’s lab coats protect your children’s regular clothes when they engage in artwork. You know how messy the paints or clay can be. 

There are kid’s lab coats that are designed to look authentic. For a more “professional” look, kid’s lab coats are 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend. They can come with three pockets and a button-front design. They can also be monogrammed for a personalized look. Some can be ordered with an embroidered medical seal. Personalized embroidery can run up to 18 letters (8 for title, 10 for name). And for more role-play fun, kid’s lab coats can be ordered online with a 19-piece Pretend & Play Kit.

For a quick and easy way to get kid’s lab coats, order online. When choosing from various online vendors and suppliers of kid’s lab coats, compare prices well. Most of the kid’s lab coat companies offer catalog ordering from home and office. The information below is not a product endorsement. But just to give you a short list of top online lab coat companies selling lab coats for kids, visit Scrubs Unlimited (ScrubsUnlimited.com), I Lab Coat, or Kristen Uniforms & Linens. Together with the lab coats, they also offer a large selection of scrub sets, nursing shoes, clogs, and matching tote bags.

Kid’s lab coat can come in the following sample sizes. Here are sample sizes:

  • XSmall - Size 2/3 for ages 2 to 3 (18-28 lbs. 32″-36″tall) 
  • Small - Size 4/6 for ages 4 to 6 (25-45 lbs. 35″-44″ tall) 
  • Medium - Size 8/10 for ages 8 to 10 (44-90 lbs. 46″-58″ tall) 
  • Large - Size 12/14 for ages 10 to 12 (60-120 lbs. 55″-65″ tall)

It can be difficult to maintain kid’s lab coats in the same way, as it is difficult to make kids stop playing and moving. The garments can be machine washed and drip-dried easily. But washing kid’s clothes like their lab coats means rigorous scrubbing, bleaching and hot water soaking to extract the dirt, paint or stubborn stains.  Often times, these abrasions lead to shrinking, fading and lifetime stains.  Clean it with detergent and liquid bleach in the recommended amounts. If you must take the lab coat home it must be transported in a water-soluble bag.

Aside from giving your kids the “professional” look, kid’s lab coats can be fun clothes too especially if worn on special occasions like Halloween! It can turn out to be Dr. Frankenstein’s costume complete with a toy stethoscope and clipboard. You can also combine other accessories with these coats for dress play up for the rest of the year. Fun kid’s lab coats also means getting away from the stark white traditional coat. Visit Lab Rat Gear on the web and you will know that you can order a cow or snow leopard style lab coats for your kids! 

You can also spark your kid’s curiosity by creating your own kid’s lab coat by creating the lab coats straight in your homes. With a little creativity, you need not spend a cent. Take an old white dress shirt from your wardrobe or buy them from a local thrift store. Cut the sleeves off the shirt and you can let your kid write his name on the pocket. And then they can put this on when they do science or play “doctor”.
