Care/instructions:
To iron on: Peel off the backing paper. Use an iron on the high without steam. Cover the patch with baking paper or thin fabric to protect the print and press down with the iron for 15-20 seconds. Leave to cool and check it has adhered. For items that will be washed regularly we recommend adding some stitches around the edge for full protection.
**check the material that you would like to attach the patch to is iron safe, if it isn't you can sew the patch on as an alternative**
**We cannot guarantee the iron-on will stick permanently as it will depend on the material and how it is ironed on (but everything we have tested has stuck well for us). If you have problems with the iron-on the patches can be sewn into place as an alternative.

Recommended by Child Psychologist Kimberley Bennett
"A young child’s greatest need is attachment. That’s why children can find being separated from their most important people really tricky! When we separate from our children, we want to support them to “hold onto us” while they are apart from us. To understand that their connection to us remains, even when we aren’t with them.
When my son was starting Primary School, I was so excited to find Olive & Pip’s love heart patches. As a mum (and psychologist) I couldn’t wait to order them for my little ones school uniform to help “bridge” that separation for him."
