Raggy-Tagged Up

The raggy-tag is the baby toy slash comforter that takes the idea that the label is the best part of a toy for a child to the extreme. The square of blanket is edged with brightly coloured silky tags or labels for baby to fondle.

When I was very little I had a friend called Charlie (a boy- I know ew) and he was obsessed with silk labels- to the point that he carried a pair of pants around with him where ever he went as his comforter, held up to his mouth as he sucked his thumb and rubbed the silk label between his fingers. I used to curl my finger around the top of my nose and stroke it up and down as I sucked my thumb. Children then, like to fidget their little fingers and babies simply like the comfort of the soft material. I hand the raggy-tag to the twins as a toy when they are bored, as a soother when they are crying and I tuck one on each side of their heads in their cots when they sleep. They love them. Tucking them in beside their heads instantly calms them down and has become a crucial part of the bedtime routine. They pull them over their faces (which is admittedly terrifying) but they really do soothe them and help them to sleep. They are machine washable and perfect for shoving in the nappy bag.

If only Raggy-Tag had been around in my day to save poor Charlie the pants embarrassment. Get Raggy-Tagged up. We particularly love this Liberty print rose one!
