Hi there. I have bought some high visibility vest because I will have 4 little ones during the school hols (2 reception children 2 under 5's), and I will be taking them out to the park etc.

Anyway, I thought I would write my business name on the back and my phone number at the bottom. Obviously I don't think I will loose them!, but I just want to see all 4 of them when they are running around in different directions.
I have bought some fabric pens, but they haven't arrived yet.
Just wondered if any one has done anything similar - I'm looking for ideas.
The older ones wanted to decorate them. There is a little area in the corner.
Would this be a good idea too?

I bought iron on transfer paper here

And put my logo and mobile phone number on them.

On the back I put Childminded Child and phone number.

They stand out well, but you cant put them in a tumble dryer.

I used marker pen, to put my business name and phone number on them. I now have printed ones.

HSMM do you mind me asking if it looked ok [using the marker pens - I am thinking of using one for the phone number]. I'm aiming at the safety side of things more so than advertising.

Do you thing it would be ok for the children to decorate a little corner using the fabric pens. I always think it looks nice when the children have been involved, and I am pretty Arty if I say so myselfGrin.

My writing isn't great, but they looked ok. The ones my DH wrote looked better. The first ones I had were decorated by the children, although I have to admit, I think my expectations were too high :)
