labels for DC/preschool

[junkytrunk]

OK I know I'm late to the game here, but we didn't need these at his in-home DC and now the preschool is asking his name be on everything. So, where did you get the labels for your kids clothes/cups/etc?

We used inchbug and I love them!! We got the stickers for food, stickers for clothes, and bracelet type things for cups.

I was gifted some of the inchbug orbit "labels" noted above(silicone bands for cups) and they're great! I didn't need them before, and really don't still for daycare (I do need clothing ones) but they were helpful for playdates even so we didn't lose sippy cups!

Another one for the inchbug labels. We have the silicone bands, the clothing labels and the stickers that can be attached to food containers. I haven't had any issues with any of them.

I don't need very many labels... do you think the clothing ones would stick to a hard surface too? Like a lunch container?

For her supplies I just printed some address labels with her name and used those. We needed to do anything with clothes, cups etc

I don't see why not...I can't say I've tried it.  It may not come off very clean if/when you try to peel it off.

aimeefarrahfowler no they peel right off actually. I think it's because one is dishwasher safe and one is washer dryer safe, they have different adhesives.

Ok I will be looking into them! A question and I'm sure they made it so it doesn't harm them, but taking the clothes ones off the tags is no big deal? I just worry about that.

Stupid question here... For labeling clothes, do you label all the clothes they wear to daycare/preschool, or just the ones sent as extras? They say to have "everything" labeled, but they can't mean what he wears each day, right? I would have to label his whole closet or plan what he is wearing really well.

I label just the outfits I send there as extras.  Also, any jackets, hats, and gloves, because those things can be misplaced so easily!

When I worked in daycare/preschool, we really only need to have the extra clothes labeled (and honestly, I only needed the bag labeled, not all the contents). Label coats, backpacks, lunchboxes, hats, mittens...
