Poppy Drops Let Girls Experience the Fun of Pierced Ears without the Commitment

When I was growing up, it was a fairly common practice for little girls to get their ears pierced. I had mine done when I was about six months old, as did most of my female cousins. By the time I hit kindergarten, every girl in my class at school had her ears pierced.

Today, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends waiting until your daughter is old enough to care for her piercings herself before you get her ears pierced.

Piercings do hurt, so it’s a challenge to get little ones to stay still for the procedure. Grimy hands and a propensity to view their earrings as toys also mean that little kids tend to have more problems with infections developing in fresh piercings.

Temporary earrings can be a good compromise for little girls who want the look of pierced ears, but aren’t ready for the responsibility. Poppy Drops offers temporary tattoo earrings for girls that eliminate the problem of self adhesive earrings coming loose during active play.

Poppy Drops are made with kid-safe vegetable dyes and come in several different designs, ranging from plain dots and flowers to cute holiday themed earrings with Easter bunnies, shamrocks, and candy corn.

My favorite product is the Me and My Doll earrings featured in this post. This set includes earrings shaped like bows, candy swirls, hot air balloons, and tea sets. The larger earrings are for your daughter and the smaller earrings are for her favorite doll.

Poppy Drops are applied just like regular temporary tattoos. They should last up to a week and can be removed with rubbing alcohol or baby oil.
