There are two types of babies born into the world: those who happily don a hat, enjoying the warmth, comfort or sun protection it provides, and those that will rip it off and throw it out the side of the stroller the moment it touches their head. Unfortunately, there is only one type of parent here, the one who wants their baby to be warm and protected from the sun by keeping their hat on!

Scroll down to have a look at some lovely organic baby hats along with styles for kids and toddlers, all in classic, timeless, genderless designs that are as functional as they are beautiful. We can’t promise that their organic materials and gorgeous prints will be enough to convince your little one to keep it on their head, but most of them are fitted with chin straps, so at least you’re in with a fighting chance!

  • The snuggliest hats for all babies

    It wasn’t that long ago that most little ones were born into a world with grannies or aunties who had the time and skill to craft beautiful hand-knitted organic blankets, mittens and baby hats to be ready for their arrival, making sure they were warm and cosy from day one. Nowadays, that kind of know-how and free time is less abundant, but babies still need snuggliness!

    We want to be their stand-in grannies who have spent the wee hours of the night sitting in rocking chairs in front of the fire, knitting lovely organic newborn clothes, little hats and baby bonnets to welcome your little ones into the world. (Ok, maybe the rocking chair bit was made up, but we did knit the hats with love and care!)

    We’ve made hats and bonnets for all seasons - nordic style woollen bonnets with adorable tassels for the coldest of months, sweet pixie bonnets which work year-round, even terry cotton bucket hats for the sunnier parts of the zooniverse! Keeping your little one’s head warm is very important, and a soft and cosy organic hat is just the thing to help. After all, they probably haven’t grown very much hair yet, so they’ll need all the help they can get! Our sweet baby bonnets take your little one from birth till their first birthday, just the thing for keeping the tiniest heads cosy. With their adorable tassel and matching booties, they bundle up into the perfect newborn gift. Bigger little ones can snuggle up in our woollen bobble hats that are as fun as they are cuddly. The whole zooniverse is yours to explore, keeping warm from tip to toe.

  • Why we love bonnets

    They are just so undeniably, adorably cute. A pixie bonnet is one of the sweetest baby accessories that makes your little one look like a character from a nursery rhyme or fairy tale. But actually, they are very practical and serve one quite surprising purpose.

    A newborn hat or bonnet is close-fitting and snug on your baby’s head, keeping them cosy and warm. They also tie sweetly under your baby’s chin, helping to keep them in place. These are both fantastic benefits of dressing your little one in a bonnet. But the real reason we love pixie bonnets for newborns and very small babies is that they cover their tiny, delicate ears helping to muffle and soften the noise of the big wide world.

    After all those months spent cuddled up in the womb, babies find muffled, muted sounds very comforting, and so recreating those conditions with a bonnet could be just the thing needed to soothe a fussy bub. All that squirming and crying could just be their best attempt at saying, ‘It’s a bit too loud out here!’.

  • Protect from the rays on those hot and sunny days

    Hats are a year-round thing. The real reason we make so many kinds of hats here at Organic Zoo, is because hats are the key to being happy and comfortable outdoors. Our dream is that little explorers all over the zooniverse can get out and about in nature, experimenting, discovering, and having fun. We want to make comfy, organic babies’ kids’ and toddler clothes and accessories all that exploring possible.

    Our kids sun hats and bucket hats protect little faces, necks, and eyes from the harmful rays of the sun, meaning they can play outdoors for as long as they like without the worry of getting sunburnt. Paired with some shorts, kids tops and a thorough lathering of sunscreen, our bucket hats are the ticket to summertime fun. And as sunglasses can be a hard sell for most little kids, shielding their eyes from sunny glare with the brim of a hat will make things much comfier for them on those bright sunshiny days.

  • ARE ALL YOUR PRODUCTS ORGANIC?

    At Organic Zoo, we are deeply committed to creating babywear that is kind to both your little ones and the planet. Our cotton products are sourced exclusively from certified organic Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) cotton producers and manufacturers. Our cotton meets the highest environmental and social standards, from cultivation to production, guaranteeing no harmful chemicals, pesticides, or synthetic fertilisers are used, while also prioritising fair working practices. 

    Our virgin wool products are sourced from sustainable and regenerative farmers who prioritise ethical animal husbandry and land stewardship. Our farmers meet or exceed the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS). This means our wool is produced with respect for the environment, supporting farming practices that restore soil health, promote biodiversity, and minimise ecological impact.

  • WHAT MATERIALS DO YOU USE IN YOUR CLOTHES?

    Our organic cotton is pure and natural, grown without the use of harmful pesticides, synthetic fertilisers, or genetically modified seeds, ensuring it’s gentle on your baby’s delicate skin and kinder to the environment.  

    Our wool is sourced from regenerative and sustainable farmers who prioritise ethical animal welfare and eco-friendly land management. By using wool from such sources, we ensure that our clothing is not only cosy and breathable but also aligned with our commitment to a healthier planet. 

    To further minimise our environmental impact, we use the least amount of washing and dyeing possible in our production process. When dyes are necessary, we opt for low-impact, non-toxic dyes that meet strict environmental and safety standards, ensuring our clothing remains safe for your little one and the world they’ll grow up in. This thoughtful approach helps us maintain the natural integrity of our materials while reducing water and energy consumption.
