For cold (bumps & bruises): Place in a sealed freezer bag and freeze for 1-2 hours. Wrap in a thin cloth before applying to a child's skin. Use for 10-15 minutes at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a wheat bag safe for children?
Yes — wheat bags are safe for children aged 3 and over when used with adult supervision. Always test the temperature on an adult's wrist before giving to a child, and never leave a heated wheat bag unattended with a child or place it in a bed with a sleeping child.

Can it help with growing pains?
Yes — growing pains are one of the most common uses for children's wheat bags. Gentle heat applied to the affected legs provides natural relief from the aching that typically strikes at night. If growing pains are frequent or severe, check with your GP.

Can I use it as a cold pack for bumps and bruises?
Yes — place in a sealed freezer bag and freeze for 1-2 hours. Wrap in a thin cloth before applying to a child's skin and use for 10-15 minutes at a time. Always wrap before applying — never place a frozen wheat bag directly on a child's skin.

Is it only for Easter or can it be used all year?
Birdie is perfect all year round! The chick design is cheerful and fun regardless of the season, and the wheat bag itself is a practical everyday comfort for bedtime, growing pains, tummy aches, and bumps. It makes a great Easter gift but is just as welcome at birthdays, Christmas, or as a get-well-soon present.

Can it help my child sleep?
Many parents find it a wonderful addition to the bedtime routine. The gentle warmth helps the body relax, and the natural lavender scent has calming properties that help children wind down. Many children begin to associate the scent and warmth with sleep.

Is lavender safe for children?
Yes — the lavender in this wheat bag is dried English lavender buds, not essential oil or synthetic fragrance. Safe for children aged 3 and over. If your child has a known sensitivity to lavender, please check with your GP before use.

How long do I microwave it for?
Microwave for 1-2 minutes on full power, checking and shaking every 30 seconds after the first minute. Always test the temperature on an adult's wrist before giving to a child.

How long does the heat last?
Birdie stays warm for up to 45 minutes — usually long enough to settle a child and help them drift off to sleep.

Is it a good Easter gift?
It's one of our most popular Easter gifts — practical, adorable, and something children will use long after the Easter eggs are gone. Arrives gift-wrapped in tissue with ribbon, ready to give. Add a personalised message card at checkout.

Can I wash it?
The wheat bag itself should not be washed or immersed in water. Spot clean the cover only. For a fully washable option, browse our removable machine-washable covers.
