Kids Original Blueberry vs Horses: Which Print to Pick

The short answer: same fit, different feel

Both the Kids Original Blueberry and Kids Original Horses are built on the same Thunderpants Original brief shape: a high-waist design for small sizes, stretchy fabric, and covered leg openings. The main differences come down to print personality, fabric content, and price. Blueberry uses a 90% cotton / 10% spandex blend, while Horses uses 90% regeneratively grown cotton / 10% spandex. That means Horses has a slightly more eco-conscious fabric story, but both are soft and stretchy. Blueberry is the lower-priced option at $16.80 (compared to $21.00 for Horses), and both are discounted from $28.00. If your child loves bold fruit prints, Blueberry is a fun pick; if they’re horse-obsessed, Horses delivers.

Print personality and everyday wear

• Kids Original Blueberry: A yummy pop of blueberry to bring the taste of summer to your drawers. Bright, fruity, and playful—great for kids who like bold colors.
• Kids Original Horses: A whinnying horse print by Greta Menzies. Perfect for animal lovers and kids who prefer a more detailed, illustrative pattern.

Fit and sizing: what to expect from both

Both styles are designed to be waist high in the small size (2–4 years), making them excellent for toilet training. As sizes get bigger, the waist lowers a bit, but not a silly amount. The fabric has enough stretch to accommodate different body shapes, and the waist and leg bands are made from the same soft fabric—no grippy elastic. Available in sizes S (2–4 years), M (5–7 years), and L (8–10 years). The fit is identical between the two prints, so choose based on print preference and fabric.

Fabric and price: what you’re actually choosing

• Kids Original Blueberry: Fabric: 90% cotton, 10% spandex. Price: USD 16.80 (catalog comparison price USD 28.00). Cotton is breathable and familiar; the lower price makes Blueberry a budget-friendly choice without sacrificing the signature stretch.

  

• Kids Original Horses: Fabric: 90% regeneratively grown cotton, 10% spandex. Price: USD 21.00 (catalog comparison price USD 28.00). Regeneratively grown cotton may appeal to families prioritizing sustainable farming; the higher price reflects that sourcing.

  

Care: keep both prints looking their best

Both Blueberry and Horses share the same care instructions: do not soak or bleach, use a gentle detergent in a cold machine wash, and dry on the line—not in the drier. This preserves the vibrant colors and fabric life. The Horses print, being a detailed illustration, may show fading more if washed hot, so stick to cold. Both are designed to withstand “some pretty staunch stuff,” so they’re ready for playground adventures.

Which print should you pick?

• Choose Blueberry if…: You want a bright, summery print at a lower price, and your child likes fruity designs. The cotton blend is soft and stretchy for everyday wear.
• Choose Horses if…: Your child loves horses or detailed prints, and you value regeneratively grown cotton. The slightly higher price supports that sourcing.
