FAQs
Do I need to ask for an extra letter if my child has a hyphenated name?
Yes, if you want it on it's own separate tile. Otherwise it will join the previous letters tile.
Can you use any whiteboard pen?
Yes! Simply write, rub off and reuse like you would a whiteboard.
Can I order extra tiles if one goes missing?
You can here.
I’m over the moon with this beautifully crafted tool to help my toddler learn how to spell and write his name. He already loves playing with it and using it to help him. Thank you so much!
I love these name boards. This is the second one I have purchased, this time for my youngest son. He loves finding the letters to spell out his name and it is really helping with recognition. I love the fact he can practise his name writing over again. Lovely quality and highly durable.
Ordered this for our eldest son to help recognising his name and the letters that were in it!
He loved putting the letter in the right order and using the velcro to add to the board. The board is brilliant to support children in the development of writing their name, as there is a tracing part and then an areas where they can write it independently. Will 100% get one for my youngest and would highly recommend!
I purchased name boards for my toddler and pre-schooler to help them recognise letters. The board is structured to allow them to recognise and write their name. It is robust (even with an active toddler) and we are still using them nearly two years after our original order. Thank you. ☺️
My 3 year old daughter absolutely loves her name board, thank you so much!
My grandchild loves this - a good play activity to help them recognise the letters in their name & spell it correctly
A great, quality item. I have purchased several now as gifts and they have all stood the test of time. Would recommend this item.
Amazing product for my granddaughter
Perfect gift for those practicing name writing ready to start school

It's adorable and personalized. My daughter loves it.
Lovely gift, my son has been using it a lot and it’s helping him learn to spell and write his name. Colourful and great quality.
Perfect for helping my little girl learn to write her name

Fast delivery and the Birthday girl loved it x
Perfect as a gift, wrapped in biodegradable clear wrap. Colourful and eye catching.

Came lovely all wrapped in tissue paper & they look great quality. I haven't opened yet as they are for a birthday present but they look awesome! Thank you
A quality item, which has withstood the repeated use of my little one. She loves practising tracing her name and sticking the letters on in the right order. It made a great gift for my niece too
Great item and great quality. It’s been a well used item since Christmas and still in great condition
Absolutely lovely - my little boys loves "doing his name". This will be really helpful as he gets ready for school in September!
Absolute love this - just as described and pictured, if not better! Made out of metal so very durable; nice round edges and light so safe for little ones too. Brilliant item!!
Absolutely love it! I will be buying more as gifts. Thank you.

Why buy from us?
Hi, I’m Kim, a mum, maker, and big believer in the power of mindfulness for both kids and grown-ups. I started Craftly because, like so many parents, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure how best to support my child’s big feelings.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve been designing resources alongside my lovely mum - a Teaching and Emotional Literacy Support Assistant with over 24 years of experience. Together, we listen closely to what families and children actually need, and we create tools that are simple, visual, and made with heart.
Let customers speak for us
Absolutely brilliant resource for anyone with a child struggling with their emotions. Lovely pictures and helps simplify things for them if they are struggling to find their words. A friend has already asked for the shop name so they can buy one
My kids have been drawn to the vibrant colours and easy to understand visual symbols. Really like that it is metal rather than flimsy plastic. thank you!
These are great resource and beautifully made. I especially like that the tiles could be made our own.
I absolutely love this, a gift from a friend. I then gifted her one and a colleague bought herself one. I work as a teaching assistant and so have two kids so I use it to remind me of self care and how to help them!!! Lovely company! I would love to buy a journal from you !!
Lovely, useful and cute. Will be using it daily.
As a mother of 4 kids, I think I need it!
Delivered in a beautiful packaging and within a week. I am 100% happy.😊
I purchased this and some other items for my son a few months ago, he absolutely loves them! I just purchased two more personalised name matching mats for friends children as birthday presents. They will love them - thanks 🙏🏻
This visual timetable is perfect for my daughter who struggles with organisation. We’ve only been using it for a few days and I can already see improvements in her anxiety about getting out of the door with everything she needs for school. Such a great resource. Thank you
I bought the key ring for my 12 year old daughter, the quality is amazing and the leaflet to explain how to use it is so thorough.
She hasn’t use it much yet, but she’s keeping it close by ready for when she’s feeling overwhelmed or anxious.
Great toolkit for teens and pre-teens.
I’m over the moon with this beautifully crafted tool to help my toddler learn how to spell and write his name. He already loves playing with it and using it to help him. Thank you so much!
I purchased these along side a negative emotions keyring set and had a custom design created also.
The order arrived very quickly, and they are amazing. Such a lovely size and easy for my children to use, they have already started.
Couldn't be happier for the customer service and the products.
Thank you!
Having our now, next, then board has transformed our lives from a constant battle of wills and tantrums from our 3 year old, to a calm and collaborative environment. She loves to look at the tokens and help to make decisions about what she wants to do. We've spent a lot more time on things that are important to her, like sticker books, baking and painting. We've also managed to get her outside more by offering her the tokens playground, park and farm and letting her choose. She's also understanding that some things are more inevitable, like doctors appointments and nursery.
The tokens communicate so clearly that she has no problem identifying what the activities are. They are beautifully crafted on aluminium, and the only issue we have is that she would love to play with them!
Kim is friendly and professional. She was more than willing to help me confirm my order and adjust it when I'd made mistakes. I am already planning to add more tokens to our collection. Couldn't recommend her more to any parents of headstrong pre school children.
I'm a repeat customer of Craftly, and Kim remains my favourite small business of all time.
Her product quality is amazing, her customisations are wonderful, her communication is excellent.
I will use her again and again.
Such a great idea to help children manage their big feelings! We've been using this over the weekend and can already see the difference in how quickly my daughter is able to calm down.
I'm a repeat customer with Craftly because I think their products are fantastic and created with genuine love. This lanyard with the 'now and next' mini timetable is a perfect gift for my non-verbal nephew. Most recommended!
I let my Son (9) open the planner when it arrived and he was so pleased with it. It's given him the ability to be a little more independent and take on that responsibility of managing his routines without getting overwhelmed or frustrated. He sets all his tokens up ready for the next day himself. We've been using it for almost a couple of weeks now and it's made such a difference! Instead of me having to keep track of everything he has to do I just have to say, have you checked / completed your planner! He loves it as I'm not "nagging" (his words!) him and I love it as it's released some of my own mental load. I also love the magnetic tokens as he is neurodivergent I don't think he would have coped with the velcro (noise/sensation). I had considered a routine board before but dismissed them because of the velcro. I love that we can also write things if needed and Kim suggested a separate board for spare tokens which was a great call to keep the board clear and not overwhelming. His younger sister (age 3) now also wants one! I think it will be a great gift for her for when she starts school in September with a new unfamiliar routine to manage. Great versatile lovely product, but for a child with ADHD it's made a huge impact - thanks so much!
