I’d like to encourage Littles to show off their Littleness in public without fear of judgement/shaming/mockery/being too ~obvious~, OR making others uncomfortable, so here are some handy hints for embracing your Little side (safely) in Public spaces.
🎒 Backpacks ~ backpacks are a great way to keep all your Little stuff together in one place, and can be a Little accessory in themselves! Google things like “kawaii backpack” or “harajuku backpack” for some adorable ideas!
🍼 Water bottles ~ the OG of sippy cups! Buy a cute themed one, or a plain one and decorate it with stickers! Holding it with two hands makes me feel extra Little, but do whatever works for you.
📚 Colouring Books ~ easy to get away with in public, as Adult Colouring Books are a legit thing nowadays. Make sure you pack your best crayons/markers!
🎧 Listening to Music ~ I’ve got a whole Spotify playlist dedicated to Littlespace (full of Disney and soft songs mostly), which is perfect for on-the-go. Fill your ears with whatever makes you feel safe and warm!
📖 Reading ~ depending on your Little age, you might like to pack a light novel for your Trip Into The Public Realm (or an audiobook to listen to!). I’m planning a post on Best Little Books, so keep an eye out for ideas!
🍭 Candy ~ things like pop rings, candy bracelets/necklaces, and lollipops are a great public substitute for teething rings/pacifiers (or if you just have a sweet tooth!).
👕 Oversized Clothes ~ another great (and subtle) way to feel Little in public. Wearing biiig clothes can make you feel eeextra small, so give it a try - I would recommend comfy hoodies and cardigans that give you sweater paws!
🎲 Stim Toys ~ Stim Toys are very common these days, so things like Fidget toys and spinners won’t garner a second glance. There are also Rubik’s Cubes, marble mazes, and water ring games!
🎮 Games ~ If you’re lucky enough to have a DS or Switch, now is the time to use it! Otherwise, there are Tamagotchis, Digimon, and cheap handheld game options available at most toy stores!
✂️ Crafts ~ a good one for Older Littles, things like knitting, crochet, sewing, and papercraft are fine in public!
🖍 Activity Books ~ look for easy options, like cartoon-themed activity books, puzzle books, crosswords, word-searches, and look-and-finds!
That’s it for now, anyway! Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle, and remember to stay safe out there in the Big World 💜
