I was umming and arring about the vis vests.. and whilst out today getting my mindee a cap which will stay at my house I saw in tescos some boys caps which are read (with England on them).. they are really great looking.. and are
only £1.50 each (a bargain!!)

what I like about them is I can see everyone easy by keeping saying at least the under 5's in the same hat.. and is a good visual safety tool for me..

just thought I'd share as such a cheap deal.. hope you are all have a good un today!x

Sounds a good idea. When I worked as a childrens rep in Spain the children all wore their Sooty Club t -shirt to activities - it was about them being recognisable in the same t-shirt as anything else.

Friends of mine who are childminders bought some cheap t-shirts in Primark - all the same bright colour - and got their mindees to wear them on days out. They said it worked fab!

sorry, had to have a giggle, I bought 8 of the very same hats for my lot, just hope we arent all in the same park at the same time caus it could get very confusing:eek: :laughing:

have to say though although i can see them i have still bough hi viz cause on a busy day you suddenly realise how many kids wear red hats!!

Yeh Amaranth. She does both adult and childrens wear. There's a long thread on here about it and you can see her handy work.
