Labelling school supplies: our back-to-school essentials!

This year, get ahead of the game and avoid all the stress that normally goes hand in hand with the back-to-school period! Labelling all the childrens’ school supplies helps you start the new school year with complete peace of mind: your children will avoid misplacing, forgetting or swapping things with friends and classmates!

At Stickerkid, we’ve compiled a non-exhaustive list of personal items to prepare for your children's return to school. And to avoid chaos and make the back-to-school experience even more enjoyable, label every item of clothing and footwear with name labels for school  specially designed for back-to-school!

A list of things to pack for back-to-school

Below is a non-exhaustive list of the most important school supplies to label to help your children keep track of all their important things for school. Personalised school labels make life easier for all parents and make each of the children’s school supplies unique!

Labelling school supplies

The real chaos before the start of the new school year: all the supplies have to be prepared in advance! Here are the essential school supplies that you shouldn't forget to pack in your child's back-to-school bag:

• Pencil case
• Pencils
• Pens
• Erasers
• Scissors
• Pencil sharpener
• Ruler
• Calculator
• Glue
• Scissors
• Books
• Notebook
• Binder
• Plastic bags

School supplies will get lost and accidentally swapped faster than you think! Therefore, to make sure your children don't misplace half of their belongings after just a few weeks back at school, label each school item with a personalised name label. From the smallest and most delicate items like pencils and scissors to the largest and heaviest items such as books and notebooks; every item your children need to take with them to school can be labelled with one of our labels for school supplies. You'll see, these personalised back-to-school labels will save you a lot of headaches and money in the long run!

Labelling other items to bring to school

As well as basic school supplies, think about other personal items that your child may or should bring to school:

• Box/pack of tissues
• Water bottle
• Snack box
• Cap or hat
• Glasses and sunglasses
• Umbrella
• Cycle helmet
  
  

As with school supplies, these items are likely to be lost or accidentally swapped at school. You can also label them with customisable self-adhesive labels so that everyone can quickly identify who they belong to and can return them quickly if they’re lost.

If your child brings their favourite book or toy, bike, scooter or skateboard, paint box or musical instrument to school, you can also label these with personalised stickers. Labels for school supplies are designed for all types of objects and stand up to children's hectic lifestyles.

Don’t forget to label clothes and shoes

When children go back to school, they also need to keep track of their clothes and shoes! Whether it's clothes your child wears every day during the school year, a school uniform, gym and sports equipment or a spare set of clothes, don't forget to prepare everything for the start of the new school year:

• Rain jacket or anorak for rainy days
• Trousers, T-shirt, jumper and spare underwear for the unexpected
• Sports kit for school trips and gym classes
• School slippers
• Sports shoes
  

No more missing raincoats, accidentally swapped jumpers or orphaned slippers!

As with items, label each piece of your children's clothing so that they can easily recognise what belongs to them and recover it quickly if they lose it. Iron-on or self-adhesive clothing labels are easy to apply, either directly onto the garment or onto the washing label, depending on the type.

Back to school also means a new pair of slippers! To make sure your child doesn't lose their school shoes or swap them with classmates during the school year, mark them with self-adhesive shoe labels . Do the same with their boots, sandals and gym trainers. These shoe labels stick easily to the inside of the heel, resist rubbing and will save you a lot of nightmares!
