Feelings and Emotions Printables and Activities
FeverMates
FeverMates was conceived when our kids were sick with the flu, they were always grumpy, miserable and impossible to manage. Taking their temperature to work out how sick they were was impossible and on one occasion, the battery failed on the digital thermometer.
That’s when we decided there had to be an easier way of monitoring a fever. It took a few months of planning, and working out exactly how we were going to make a product that could be easily and safely used. After deciding on a stick-on product, we made a prototype that passed all relevant product and safety tests, then proceeded to test it on ourselves and our children when we were unwell with the flu. It worked! We all slept soundly with a fever indicating FeverMates stuck to our foreheads and could read the temperature without having to be woken up!
