Recommend me some toddler hairclips and bobbles

DD’s would-be fringe is growing out and reaching a point where she could do with it out of the way sometimes.

We were kindly given a set of small metal-based clips for her for Christmas which did not exactly go down a storm when tried today. She also can’t wear them to nursery so will need a bobble (a la Flintstones style...). Her hair is still quite fine. I’m looking for something quick to deploy but gentle and preferably not metal. Can anyone recommend any to get?

I get losds from primark as they get lost so easily. If you look up wasy toddler hairstyles on youtube the lady does loads of styles which keep fine fringes out of toddlers faces

In terms of clips, we've got some from Marks and Spencers which are like crocodile clips, but the metal is coated in ribbon. My DD's hair is also fine and the triangular style metal clips don't stay in, but these do. She resisted me putting them in at first, but I made a big thing of how pretty they were and now she asks for them herself.

The only examples I could find on the website are out of stock, but this sort of thing:

You can get bags of small bobbles with no metal from h&m or sainsburys (but most supermarkets probably sell them).

Interested in this thread?

You’re all marvellous, thanks! I’ll look for those H&M ones and some similar to the Marks clips. So much easier when real people can just tell you what’s worked.

And thanks for the vid tip, Lois. I’m shit at hair but am going to have to learn at some point so might as well start now...
