Tired of your child losing school supplies? As a parent who's been there, I've got a simple DIY solution for custom labels that saves money and keeps items safe all year.
It's quick—3 minutes per batch—and far cheaper than store-bought options.
Last year, my son Raphaël misplaced over a dozen erasers and colored pencils in his first-grade CP class. Fresh from kindergarten, kids like him are still learning organization, and restocking constantly drains time and budget.
With my husband, we found an economical fix that lasts the whole school year.
If you have a printer, load adhesive label sheets, type your child's name in Word or Excel, and print. No printer? Handwrite the first and last name neatly.
Grab a pair of scissors and trim each label to fit pencils, notebooks, or binders precisely.
Peel off the backing and stick securely on Raphaël's gear. It's that easy—a few minutes ensures his supplies stay with him longer.
His teacher even praised this practical step last year. I'm repeating it without hesitation this back-to-school season.
