I want to take a moment to thank young Leo, a talented autistic artist, for helping to draw some wonderful designs for this idea. I also appreciate my friend Mike for gifting the idea!

I'm excited to introduce Can Art 82, a line of ear defenders for kids (we have adult sizes too!). These ear defenders have simple designs that brighten up the look and make them more fun to wear.

As someone who deals with sensory sound issues, I really understand how helpful these can be in busy places. They can truly make a difference.

Each pair is £20, and I'm donating £5 from every sale to Tourette’s Scotland charity.

So far, we have designs featuring a green dinosaur, a pink dinosaur, and a steam train, all of which are available now!

James.
