How do you label your child's things.

[redhookmom]

We just received our welcome letter from my DS's teacher for the fall. It said in the letter to mark everything like you are sending your child off to camp. Before I take a Sharpie to everything he owns are ther any cool/different ways to mark things? (Cloting, lunchbox, gym sneakers...)

Thanks,

Well I just use a Sharpie. :) I usually write on the tag (and initials are usually fine). I write her name inside her shoes.

HTH,

Colorful Images (catalog company specializes in labels, checks, etc.) sells a self-inking stamp that is made specifically for clothing.

I was going to buy labels and tags from one of these 2 places:

But then I started checking out e-bay and I found a seller for

iron on labels: retailtherapy4you

waterproof labels: mommyinmd

bag tags: philw44

I went to Office Depot and saw they had some kits for making your own iron on stuff or luggage tags or labels. I like doing this kind of stuff, but then thought of how many other projects I had on my plate. So ebay it was and I bought them today.

DD had fun looking at all the different artwork and liked "choosing" her own things!

HTH and Good Luck!
