Thumbsie® produce fun fabric children’s face masks to help the national shortage
COVID-19 seems to have turned the world upside down, and the unimaginable has become our reality. As we wait to hear plans for a staged return to ‘normal’ life we are hearing more and more about the importance of face masks. Face Masks are in short supply, and where on earth can you get a children’s face mask? We have[...]
Happy Thumbsie Mondays on the BBC
Word is getting around about our Best Business Woman Awards, especially since Jo Bates was invited to BBC Three Counties Radio to speak to Nana Akua about her award on her Happy Monday’s radio show. The radio show includes inspirational and motivational content to get the week off to a good start - and what better way to do that[...]
Thumbs up for Summer
Well done to everyone who wore their Thumbsie® in all the hot weather we have been having. It has been a lovely end to the School holidays, but possibly a bit warm for a lot of thumb suckers in some parts of the UK.

Why Reading with Your Child is More Than Just for Fun….
Reading a book with your child often concludes a tiring day of caring for them. It is the moment when you’d rather reach for a glass of wine rather than a book you feel you must have read at least 200 times! You have just got them out of the bath (along with all the trauma that entails) and settled[...]
Thumbsie® thumb sucking book – an interview with the author
Writing a positive book to accompany the Thumbsie® products seemed like the perfect, child-friendly addition to this gentle thumb sucking solution. We hope that a story will be a fun way that more children can learn that there is a solution to their thumb sucking problem, and feel encouraged to give up sucking as easily as Ted does in the[...]
Thumbsie® begins a new chapter with its own story book to help stop sucking
Thumbsie® is all about making children (and families) happy. It’s a gentle, effective and fun method of giving up thumb sucking, which offers support, reward and success. In fact, it has been so successful for so many families that we wanted to spread the Thumbsie® message as widely as possible - children can give up thumb sucking and can do it[...]
