Blackboard Stickers

We always knew that Family life was going to be different. But I’m not sure we expected the kind of chaos that ensued.

There seems a never-ending list of “stuff” that we needs to be looked at, bought and remembered. Everything ranging from, remembering kids activities; picking up milk on the way home from work; the car needing an MOT; School trips, uniforms need cleaning and so it goes on.

Now I am not suggesting that any one product will help save all those chores from being slipped from your memory. But some can help.

Take for instance the Blackboard Sticker from Simply Stick. It’s a simply fun way of writing down your very important lists.

Blackboard stickers

They come in 5 different shapes, which include; the Circle pack, the Hen, speech bubble, shopping trolley, and the square pack. They are all peel and stick and are supplied with chalk and a duster.

The square and Circle pack come win a set of 4.

Now , what was I supposed to remeber to get on the way home from work?????

If your family is anything like mine then a little bit of chaos is always present.

Last School Term So Label Everything

It's the Summer Term

The children are back to school for the final term before they break up for the summer holidays. The second half of the summer term tends to be packed with outdoor activities such as sports days, school outings, interschool athletics and swimming galas. There are plenty of opportunities for the kids to mislay clothing and belongings so it is more important than ever to remember to label up summer clothing and sports bags to ensure their safe return.

Simply Stuck have also come up with a great labelling idea for those more vulnerable to allergic reaction during outdoor activity or away day trips.

At Simply Stuck all name tags, stickers and labels are easy to customise and there are plenty of funky and groovy styles to choose from.

Allergy Alert Stickers for Hay Fever

To alert carers and teachers to your child’s allergy, Simply Stuck have introduced Allergy Alert stickers which are ideally suited for labelling travel bags and medication packs.

There are three different label sizes available, each printed with red text on a white background. Your choice of text may, for example, read “Zoe Smith has a hay fever allergy”. Labels can detail a maximum of 4 different allergies.

The 35 label pack includes 3 large stickers 8cm x 4.7cm, 10 circular stickers 2.5cm diameter and 20 mini stickers 3cm x 0.7cm. As a bonus you will also receive 2 ID bands (cut to fit) & stickers 7cm x 1.7cm. The Allergy Alert Stickers pack is priced at £13.

Labels for clothes and belongings

The Simply Stuck labels are easy to personalise and your child can select a favourite design, from a choice of 32, to appear next to their name. You can enter up to a maximum of 20 characters including spaces for the name with four text fonts to choose from - Comic Sans, Arial, Verdana or Times new Roman.

Select from a choice of six colours for the text and icon - black, red, pink, blue, green and orange.

Domestic Goddess Pack

The Domestic Goddess Pack is a great all-in-one label solution for kid’s clothes and belongings.

Girls will love the flower, heart, horse, and butterfly shapes and boys can choose a football, rugby ball, car, truck and rocket motif.

The bumper value, 158 label, pack is priced at £25.50 and includes 50 versatile waterproof and 50 magic iron on labels measuring 7mm x 48mm, 50 Transfers measuring 9mm x 54mm and 8 clear protective shoe labels to be applied over the sticker when inserted into shoes.

Girls will love the Funky Pink Pack

This pack is the rock’n'roll of labels and pink is the new black. The pink text can be printed on a baby pink, mirrored silver or mirrored gold sticker to complete the look.

The Funky Pink Pack Stickers are easy to use, you simply peel off from the backing and apply to all their favourite clothes. Included in the pack are eight free clear shoe labels that are applied over your existing printed Vinyl Stickers inside the shoe.

If your children participate in many activities or have many pairs of shoes, you can buy extra shoe labels at minimal cost.

The Groovy Surf Pack is ideal for the boys

This one’s aimed at the boy’s. As with the Funky Pink Pack, there is also a choice of 32 motifs, including a football, rugby ball and car. The blue text can be printed on a sparkly red, sparkly silver or mirrored silver background, or you can choose red text on a mirrored silver background.

Frog & Bug Border Wall Sticker

Children love to explore outdoors, learning about nature and the natural environment. Children are particularly attracted to wooded areas with that added sense of mystery and discovery. Woods are the ideal playground for hide and seek, collecting nuts and seeds or for building dens. It is also a great opportunity to learn through play as they discover their natural environment and learn a little about problem solving and how to handle risk.

For other wildlife adventures then visiting a nature reserve with your child is a great way for them to learn about flora and fauna. Your local Wildlife Trust organises fully interactive and fun wildlife activities for all the family throughout the summer months, giving children the chance to try pond dipping and discover the underwater world of frogs, boatmen, beetles and water bugs.

If your kids are in love with nature Simply Stuck have some fantastic border and wall stickers that can introduce a wildlife theme into your children’s bedroom.

Summer Crafts

With long evenings and warmer weather children are keen to spend more time outdoors. Take advantage of a glorious summer day to entertain the kids with an outdoor craft or creative activity.

Children of all ages love craft activities, enjoying the freedom to express themselves with creative and imaginative designs. Simply Stuck have come up with three fun ideas that are easy to adapt, and can be made using everyday items.

Painting & Garden Collage

Kids painting

Kids can take their favourite paints, craft papers and junk modelling pieces outside, spread them out on the grass, and let their imaginations run wild. Left over wall paper can be put to good use and is ideal for painting large landscape scenes. Plants, flowers, trees and insects can be used as inspiration or children can create their own abstract drawings.

Children love to experiment with creating their own colour mixes. From an early age they can learn about the primary colours red, blue, and yellow - three colours that cannot be made by mixing other colours - and using two of these three colours to create a secondary colour.

Leaves and twigs can be added to give the painting a 3D dimension and add texture. They may need help with gluing heavier objects.

If they are not confident in drawing flowers, they can cut examples from magazines and add them to their creative collage.

Flower Mask Craft

Girls will love creating a floral face mass. The materials you will need are:

A paper plate or a card circle made from an empty cereal box.
Craft paper, white or coloured
Glue or cellotape
Lolly pop stick

Instructions:

Cut the craft paper into the shape of a petal, you can get two petals per page.
Decorate the petals with paints or markers, adding glitter for extra sparkly effect.
Cut out the centre of the paper plate so the child’s head becomes the centre of the flower.
Glue the petals all the way around the edge.
Finally glue or celotape on the lolly pop stick as a handle.

Now the child can peek through the flower!

Boat Race

Paper boat

If it is not warm enough to go swimming in the paddling pool, why not make a fleet of boats and hold a boat race instead.

First make a large paper flag for each boat, painting them in different colours. Attach the flag to a lolly stick to create a sail and then use lots of celotape to attach the stick to the centre of a margarine tub or similar shape plastic tray. Place the boats in the paddling pool and blow on the sail.

The kids will have hours of fun , and enjoy lots of fresh air, with these summer craft ideas. If you want to add further to their creative designs take a look at the huge range of Simply Stuck stickers which will compliment any craft box of everyday household items. We have a huge variety of designs which are easy to use.

Class Water Bottle Stickers

At Simply Stuck we know that children enjoy sweet or fizzy drinks and it’s much more of a challenge to get the kids regularly drinking plain water. And yet drinking plenty of water is so important for good health. The body needs water to regulate body temperature, to provide the means for nutrients to travel around the body, to help in the removal of waste, and to protect joints and organs.

At school children are encouraged to drink extra liquids, particularly when participating in outdoor activities, and supplies of bottled water are usually on hand. However making sure everybody gets their share, controlling hygiene, and generally keeping an eye on whose is whose can be a nightmare for hard pressed teachers.

Simply Stuck noticed a gap in the market after receiving many requests for label stickers for classroom or sports water bottles. Simply stuck can produce class/group sheets of name stickers that can be printed white text on a choice of red, green or blue background. An added benefit is that these versatile name stickers are 100% heat and water proof and will not fade.

Class water bottle stickers

The Class Water Bottle stickers are easy to order on-line, all we require is the list of names to be printed. You can supply by email up to 40 different names on an Excel or Word document and each name will be repeated 3 times.
