My kindergarten boys have settled into school and they know the school routine and pack drill backwards.
Though now they have been catching the bus to school and home again 3-4 days a week -
it's out the door by 7.50am . Some days things are hectic and stuff is getting lost or left behind at school.....
now mum isn't there to pick the bits and pieces in the afternoon.
I noticed a dozen of the kids ,
just in our class (80 kinders in total ) , have the similar food containers - not to mention seeing a sea of identical,
on the ground, school jumpers and hats. The school's lost property trolley is overflowing ...
but not with our stuff I hope.
Over the years I used a few different labeling methods ...even the big black permanent maker didn't work on the school bomber jacket for my oldest son - he still misplaced it . The iron on labels just fell off or were
taken off !
The twins needed name labels for daycare and I've tried a few different kinds ... the little rascals loved peeling them off or using them on artwork at home. They also use them on toys, their Leapsters and anything if I leave them in reach
...this won't always work !

| we really put their names on the other boot too ! |
Before big school started I bought one pack of with both their initials and our surname on one set of labels - #scrooge #fail !
My big mistake is now I don't know which kid has left their school jacket or lunchbox or whatever behind .They each claim the item at home is theirs. Cue for many tears and tantrums .
.I'm talking about me now.
I've lost count of the
Tupperware lunchboxes my eldest son lost
. On Monday,when I do Literacy groups in the classroom, I usually find a food storage container with our label , on top of the kinder's cupboard ...imagine the ones that get left behind.
Sam and Joel are the same clothing size , with 1/2 size difference in Clark school shoes too. As they get older I know identifying their own personal items will be more important ...
who wants to wear their brother's undies.
'Stuck on you' comes
highly recommended - I've seen a few
reviews recently.
The timing was perfect when I was invited to try their products and chose a design for each drummer boy.
The boys loved helping me chose, personalising their own design and colours .The website is so easy to navigate and 'KID' user friendly. It would have taken me less time if I didn't let HELP ...just saying !
We chose the Out and About pack because they wanted the personalised drink bottles and we needed spares too.
The products are excellent and I would definitely recommend them to anyone - you can never have enough labels - just ask my boys.
The lovely people at Stuck on you even popped in an
extra surprise for the boys. They were thrilled and couldn't wait to take them to school for news.
How she knew their favourite 'quiet' activity is drawing and colouring in- I don't know. My boys even carry little notebooks and textas to draw with other kids on the bus ...but you know I mean in the notebooks ! The notebooks and pencil cases, pencils and textas included made their eyes pop.
Lucky for me the Artist series activity pack keeps them busy while I'm cooking dinner and then it packs up nicely inside the pencil case ! Seeing them colour-in
quietly makes my heart
sing !!
Stuck on you's range has expanded incredibly over the years if you haven't checked their website lately- go do it now ...I'll wait.
They don't just have labels - have personalized clothes , wooden name puzzles , sports bags, and home essentials and much more.
