Label Personal Items for Daycare & Preschool
New Products for Labeling Bottles, Sippy Cups and School Supplies
Aug 3, 2009
There are many new products that help parent’s label their children’s personal items and school items. Instead of relying on a permanent maker that doesn’t stand out in the crowd or a paper label that washes off in the dishwasher, parents can use labels made specifically for daycare and preschool students.
Personalized Baby Bottle Labels for Daycare
Parents with infants in daycare may be worried that their children will get the wrong baby bottles at feeding times due to mix ups. Mistakes can happen when several parents use the same brand of bottle or when bottles are stored together in the refrigerator. In order to make a bottle stand out from the others, parents can use personalized baby bottle labels to identify which bottles belong to their child.
Many companies like Name Bubbles now offer colorful and washable labels for baby bottles and other personal items. Name Bubbles' labels are dishwasher safe and waterproof. The company sells a Daycare Label Pack with 140 labels for about $34.88. The package includes everything parents need to label daycare necessities like bottles, toys, bags, shoes and extra clothes.
In addition to labels for bottles, some companies offer products specifically designed to make it easier on breast-feeding mothers. Mother’s Milkmate Breast Milk Storage Bottles come with 45 reusable freezer-grade labels for the bottles. The storage bottles can be attached to breast pumps made by several different companies. A standard nipple ring and nipple can be attached to the storage bottle so there is no need to transfer the breast milk to a baby bottle and risk spills or mix-ups at daycare.
How to Label Sippy Cups
Labeling sippy cups for daycare and preschool has become easier with the invention of the InchBug’s BumpyName Orbit Label. Unlike stick-on labels, the BumpyName Orbit Label is a circular plastic label that is pulled onto a sippy cup or baby bottle. Each label has the child’s personal information and can be personalized with one or two lines of text. The obit labels are non-stick and are dishwasher and microwave safe. A package of four labels sells for about $12.95.
Personalized Labels for Preschool Students
Parents can spend a lot of money on school supplies for preschoolers, but it’s hard for children this age to keep track of their own personal items. Labels can help children and teachers identify clothing, shoes, backpacks and school supplies. Using labels instead of permanent marker makes it easier to quickly identify the item’s owner. It’s also easier to reuse school supplies for siblings when items are labeled with the family’s last name.
Mabel’s Labels is one company that offers an assortment of labels for children’s items. The Mabel’s Labels Ultimate Back-to-School Combo includes an assortment of products from the company for labeling school supplies, backpacks, shoes, toys and more (including baby bottles and sippy cups). This combo pack sells for $39 and is available through Sept. 25, 2009. Other combination packs are available year-round and labels can be purchased separately. Stuckonyou.com sells labels for a variety of personal items, like backpack tags, shoe labels, children’s ID bracelets and more.
Parents can help daycare providers and preschool teachers keep personal items separate by labeling bottles, sippy cups, breast milk and school supplies. Labeling baby bottles and sippy cups can be an effective way to prevent children from sharing germs in school and daycare centers.
