Boring I know, but my kids are about to start nursery and everything has to be labelled. How do other people do this? I have to label uniform (so cloth), and juice cups / snack boxes etc (so plastic).
Is sticking a sticker with his name in pen on his plastic stuff enough or will that not be durable enough? I guess not as it will get wet and I'll always be doing a new one? And what do I do about his clothes?

Many of you must have to do this too - what do you do?

TIA.

I used to order name tapes from UK for my kids. I put first daughter's name followed by surname and then second daughter's name. Then I just turned back the name I didn't need before sewing. Saved putting in two orders. That is such a clever idea - wish I had thought of that.....next time.....next time!!!!!!!

I use permanent marker pen on the water bottles and iron on labels on the clothes. I order my labels on line from the UK as they are cheaper but you can get them done at Magrugys here. there's also a company that does all types of labels here called stuck on you.
