So, they're back to school and once again it's time to make sure they have everything ready, uniform, equipment and all the other bits and bobs they need. But how long will it be before something goes missing? If they're anything like my eldest, give it a couple of weeks!
My eldest started secondary school last year and managed to lose the whole of his PE kit, complete with rather expensive trainers, TWICE!!! Now, he's probably too old for name tags nowadays but when My Nametags contacted me to review their fab Mr Men Name Tag Stickers*, I thought they'd be perfect for Taylor for when he goes to the childminders and toddler groups.
I chose stickers over iron ons as they are super easy to use, with no ironing or sewing needed... bonus! ;) The versatile stickers are made with a magic ingredient meaning it'll stay put wash after wash.
Being suitable for both clothes and equipment, and with their quirky and fun Mr Men design, they're perfect for allowing little ones to seek out their own belongings. I'm confident that Taylor will be able to find his own juice cup amongst identical ones at toddler group, by the blue sticker! And they are dishwasher proof too! ;)
Available at £13.95 plus £1.00 p&p, there are numerous designs to choose from [and many more aside from Mr Men too] and come in sheets of 56 stickers. There is space for a full name and telephone number, but I just stuck with Taylor's first name as there's no need for any more than that for what we'll use it for at this age, plus they'll be great to allow him to start recognising his own name. We've stuck them inside a few items of clothing, his juice cups and a couple of pairs of shoes so far.
I'm really pleased with them, I had no idea such quick and easy products were available and they're so effective! And I love the fact that they can be used for so many things. Bags, lunch boxes, DVDs, as well as clothes.
I'll most definitely be keeping My Nametags in mind once he starts school!
