I never did get round to actually selling v the taggies I made and tested. I still have a box full but went back to work. Latterly, I have found the joy of embroidery in the form of an embroidery machine and mixing my life of sewing with embroidery.

I have made these. The white is a dress and the coral- a hip length top.

Hello everyone,

Please accept my apologies for the delay in posting items offered for sale.

I had really wanted to post items in time for Christmas post and yes, I have some amazing sensory comforters and blankets finished HOWEVER I have decided to wait until I have FORMALLY risk assessed them so as to be FULLY compliant with EU and English law and British Standards) notably The European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC, so as to ensure the protection of your mini me's and children and adults with additional needs.

It appears there are many blankets and comforters termed taggies in the market but having researched (as I do) in my opinion they can be classed as a toy so I am determined to produce items than I can confidently say are legal and compliant and most of all SAFE.

I apologise for the delay. I HAVE risk assessed as I have gone along so they are very safe (and extremely Ab Fab ) but will be launching as soon as the paper side and audit trail is complete.

Your Mini Me's health and safety is paramount ❤️

The importance of sensory play and rest.

From birth through to early childhood, children use their senses to explore and try to make sense of the world around them.
They do this by touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, moving and hearing.

Providing opportunities for children to actively use their senses as they explore their world through ‘sensory play’ is crucial to brain development – it helps to build nerve connections in the brain’s pathways.

This leads to a child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks and supports cognitive growth, language development, gross motor skills, social interaction and problem solving skills.

Recent research shows up to one in six children may have sensory symptoms that may be significant enough to affect aspects of everyday life functions.

We often talk about the five senses, these are:

Taste – the stimulation that comes when our taste receptors react to chemicals in our mouth.

Touch – the stimulation that comes from touch receptors in our skin that react to pressure, heat/cold, or vibration.

Smell – the stimulation of chemical receptors in the upper airways (nose).

Sight – the stimulation of light receptors in our eyes, which our brains then interpret into visual images.

Hearing – the reception of sound, via mechanics in our inner ear.

It is important for children to have a range of sensory play activities and spaces available to them at home.

This would include opportunities for active sensory play and areas which are calm without a lot of stimulation. The aim is to provide a sensory experience that meets the individual needs of the children in a fun and flexible learning space. [Goodstart Early Learning 2013]
