A friend of mine asked me if I made name labels to keep track of school supplies… well, I didn’t but I do now! As a former teacher, I would have been grateful if parents would have used labels instead of a sharpie to personalize their child’s belongings or supplies and as a parent I am excited that this will save me time.
I like to edit these with a tracing font to get my little one to help!
Because Sean Patrick is so into tracing right now (and because he is a perfectionist), I decided to make him a book that he could use dry-erase markers and Mr. Clean magic erasers to practice his tracing over and over again without getting frustrated about markings on his paper (courtesy of his little sister).
I printed the pages of my tracing book onto card stock and laminated them with my inexpensive laminator that I bought at WalMart.
We work on it a little each day and I encourage him to do whatever letters he would like to practice making, but I always try to make the formation fun for him. For example, when we were writing “A” I told him to slide down this slide (the left slanted line) then to slide down that slide (the right slanted line), and then to climb across the monkey bars. He said exactly what I said as he traced A the next few times. And for lowercase “a” we rode around the merry-go-round and then climbed down the ladder.
If you don’t have a laminator and you don’t want to get it laminated you can also just print it and let your little one trace the pages individually with crayons 🙂

I have been searching for a LONG time to find some cute and affordable playroom labels. I wanted labels that had a coordinating picture with the word for each of the cubbies that I wanted to label in my playroom. Well, I couldn’t find any that I loved so I made my own and love how they turned out!
I am REALLY excited to launch my newest hobby with something I have wanted to develop for so long!
I made a few different backgrounds and I am selling them for an affordable price:

So, I hope they work for you.
I printed the black and white labels on white cardstock.
Cut them to the size of my bin.
Ran them through my Cheap Laminator (that I love!)
and hot glued them to my canvas bins (careful… this will strip the fabric a little if you need to pull them off)
Office depot can print them onto card-stock and laminate them for you if you want to bring your jump drive there because they have paper cutters there you can use, but I like the DIY approach 🙂
I hope you enjoy them, share them, PIN them, and find them useful for years to come.
PS. Let me know if there are any other backgrounds or labels you are interested in with a comment because when I get a chance I can try to add some custom labels just for you 🙂
