What We're Reading

Me

I've been fascinated to learn how the brain's executive function challenges many kids in school and at home.


The Big Kid

My daughter loved this so much, we read it aloud to the whole family. Then moved on to the next one.


The LIttle Kid

A wonderful story with great illustrations and an environmental message that's not preachy or scary.

Best name labels for camp or school

Feb 18 2008

By mommy

picture-9.pngIt's just one of those mundane chores that needs to be done, labeling every article of clothing, towel, backpack and object that will travel with your child to camp or to school in the hopes that when it inevitably gets lost it will find its way home to you. Nothing's going to make this job fun, but we've rounded up the whole range of different ways you can label your kid's clothing from the beautiful embroidered labels to fun, colorful ones, to ones you can make at home.

Here's the best ways to label your child's clothing for camp or school:

dlstyle2.jpgFor the Martha in you: Custom designed embroidered sew-on labels are easily purchased through the internet. Pick your layout, icon, tape and thread color and you've got a beautiful little label suitable for the finest duds. I admit that I did buy little pink name tapes with kittens and my daughter's name in script (yes, first child). Did I ever sew them on any of her perfect little clothes? Nope, but they sure are cute. Order your own at Sterling Name Tape.

For the kid in you: Even iron-on labels don't have to be boring with Stuck On You labels. This site makes fun, brightly colored and cutely designed name labels, plus special stickers for sneakers and every other possible thing you could ever want to put your name on.

Brother P-Touch PT-1280 Home & Office LabelerFor the geek in you: Why buy labels when you can buy a gizmo and make your own. With special iron-on tape, you can turn a normal label-maker into an iron-on name tape maker, just type in your child's name, and click out as many as you need.

For the traditionalist in you: Just want your basic iron-on or stick-on name labels. Campbound.com sells them at just $12 for 100. Can't beat that.

For the bureaucrat in you: Pretend you work in the insurance claims department as you stamp your child's name into their clothes one after another with your own custom made name stamp and indelible fabric ink pad. DENIED.

Sanford Rub a Dub Laudry Marking Pen 2 In TotalFor the simplifier in you: Of course you can always just buy a Laundry Marker and write your child's name in everything yourself. Simple and cheap.

Don't forget the no-iron and no-sew name labels from LabelLighthouse.com for us who do not like to iron or sew. Simply peel and stick.
