KIDS LOVE TO GET GRUBBY

They also love to explore and to play. Which, more times than not, means they get grubby. Grubbybub is an Australian owned and operated family business aimed at keeping kids happy, active, outdoors and grubby – without sacrificing the sanity of their parents and carers.

 Our range of products are designed to keep our little grubs clean,
warm and dry while benefitting from that all-important outdoor sensory and
messy play.

Our philosophy, ‘Play Again and Again’, is applied to all our materials and products. We aim for sizing generous enough to get more than one seasons worth of wear; practicality and convenience enough to please Mary Poppins; and durability to withstand the mini tornadoes that are our little grubs.

Grubbybub is the creation of a NSW Central Coast mum, whose laundry pile was larger than life. The aim is for a range of products that are more than just a single use product. With a number of projects being developed behind the scenes, we feel this goal will be well and truly kicked.

OUR JOURNEY

Grubbybub inspiration for our puddle suits. . Sizes available for kids 6-12 months, 1-2 year, 2-4 years, 4-6 years, 6-8 years. Organic cotton inner linings ensure comfort while the welded seams create a waterproof seal which is unmatched.

FROM PROBLEM...

Our little grubs love to get.... well, grubby. We have no problem with this. It's good, old fashioned fun. But, oh! The laundry! So much laundry!

Puddle suit prototype 1. Our first suit made from the initial pattern design. Many tweaks to follow but an enjoyable process.

TO DESIGN...

The very first toile! The first of many. Designing, testing and re-designing until we felt we had it just right.

Functional puddle suit prototype #1. Our R&D team really put these to the test jumping in puddles and splashing as best they could. The puddle suit held up pretty well but still needed some tweaks. No puddle left un-jumped for testing.

TO PROTOTYPE...

Again, the first of many more! Once this little grub got into some puddles, we were ready for more refinements.

The puddle suit to end all puddle suits! After all the changes and design tweaks, you really aren't going to keep a puddle jumper any more dry than in one of our puddle suits. Made with breathable polyester and waterproof up to 5000mm with organic cotton

TO FINISHED PRODUCT...

At last, our Grubbybub Puddle Suit is refined and ready for play.

We're pretty proud of it.

GRUBBY BEGINNINGS

From generation to generation, we were all little grubs at one point. Skinning knees, climbing trees, riding
bikes, jumping in puddles... smiles stretching from ear to ear.

Getting grubby is indescribably important to kids’ development.  Outdoor play develops coordination, confidence, balance, agility and cognitive skills. The list of benefits goes on and on.  Grubbybub was created to keep kids playing that all-important outdoor play on those cold, rainy, and muddy days - without creating mountains of dirty laundry.

Puddle Suit, rain suit, mud suit, splash suit, kids wet weather gear… Gumboots, wellies, rain boots.... Grubberalls, overalls, waders.. call them what you like, we've designed everything with kids and parents in mind.

Alfred Wainwright said it, and we are believers:

“There is no such thing as bad
weather, only inappropriate clothing”
