Features for Sensory Kids

• The seams are worked on the outside so that the inside is smooth and has no scratchy itchy seam allowances or labels.
• Apart from the pocket the t-shirt is the same back and front – so there’s no wrong way to wear it – your child can choose his favourite side.
• The pockets feature ribbon tags – to attach precious things or labels.
