Rock Back to School with Name Bubbles Labels!

Is it just me or does it seem like the minute the kids start summer break we parents are already thinking about sending them back to school (and not just because they are on our nerves, haha)? I am one of those moms who likes to begin buying and organizing supplies as soon as their school supply list hits my inbox. 

And, now that I am a Back to School veteran (you know, since my twins will be in 1st grade), I am better prepared thanks to Name Bubbles Custom Name Labels. If this is your childs’ first year heading off to school, trust me when I say things WILL get lost or left behind. Almost on a daily basis my girls would get off the bus and one of them would be missing a water bottle, a winter hat, a pair of gloves….you name it. Thankfully I have gotten in the habit of naming everything they take with them to school with a Name Bubbles label so if it ends up left on the bus or in the school lost and found, I know it is there.

New to Name Bubbles and/or labeling school supplies? Here is a crash course from me to you!

What’s Name Bubbles?

Name Bubbles makes custom name labels for kids in a variety of sizes, colors and designs and are made for all the things. With a variety of designs, shapes and sizes to choose from, they even make labeling cute! Name Bubbles even has waterproof labels for dishes, bottles, cups, and clothing that are made to withstand the dishwasher and washing machine (and spills, rain, etc.). Name Bubbles’ School Label and Daycare Label Packs are my recommended solution for ensuring every child’s school supplies and clothing returns home at pick-up!

Kids tend to take care of things that they know are theirs, and adding a label really emphasizes ownership to them. They know that if it has their Name Bubble label on it, it is their responsibility and there is less arguing over which jacket belongs to which twin (insert eye roll here). They are also great for preschoolers because the labels help the child to recognize the spelling of their name, and to memorize their address and parents’ phone numbers! Another bonus? They have labels shaped like feet that can help your child determine which shoe goes on which foot.

What Do I Label?

Here is a quick list of what I label with our Name Bubbles labels:

• Backpacks
• Water bottles/cups
• Pencil bags/cases
• Shoes (gym shoes, dance shoes, shoes in general….)
• Jackets
• Hats and gloves
• Boxes or markers and crayons
• Glue bottles/glue sticks
• Scissors
• Smocks
• Umbrellas
• Helmets & bikes
• Binders, folders and notebooks
• Rulers
• Lunchboxes 
• Extra clothes (for accidents and spills)
• Sports bags and sports equipment

Labeling Tips

Unlaminated Clothing Labels

Use unlaminated labels for tagless clothing. Stick the labels to the clothings’ brand stamp/imprint and not directly to blank material. 

Laminated Clothing Labels

Peel and stick these labels directly to the clothing label or care tag. Laminated labels also stick to a variety of non-clothing items like flashlights, water bottles, first aid kits, lunch boxes and more.
