Does your kids lose clothing at school?
There is a new way to label your childrens clothing now. It requires no
ironing or sewing. Just peel and stick on. Have any of you tried it yet? It is sold at labellighthouse.com It is great. |

Much as I hate responding to SPAM ... the entire contents of the lost and found at One's school was spread out on tables during parent-teacher conferences. We went through it pretty carefully in hopes of finding a sweatshirt that One lost. I'd estimate that 90% of the items had kids' names in them. The trick isn't putting your kid's name on items, its getting your kid to check the lost & found. (BTW, we've found identical sweatshirts several times since the loss I mentioned. Two out of three had names in them, and were returned to their rightful owner by One. The last is still in the lost & found.) Barbara |

Don't people even look? I was astonished to find that the jacket DS left in his classroom, that had his name in it, was delivered to the school's lost & found. I can't abide such laziness. -Patty, mom of 1+2 |

It is sold at labellighthouse.com It is great. Those look really stupid, and expensive, plus it would drive my kid nuts - he hates tags as it is and I have to cut them all out of his shirts. I use a fabric pen to write the size of the shirt on the inside of the collar - I could just as easily label his clothing with his name in the same manner. A fabric pen costs under $2.00 and can be used a hundred times or more. -L. |

Er, yeah. If a glue really did exist that would stick to common fabrics, and *stay* stuck in the wash, the clothing industry would be all over it. Since they haven't discovered it, I have to believe these things will be littering the washing machine a few weeks after application, at best. Personally, I put my trust in: 1) a laundry pen where possible; then 2) GOOD iron-on labels; then 3) a cloth label/plastic clip set. However, after four months of working in a preschool, I'm just happy when parents label stuff - in a place I can find the name quickly, and with the child's own name or at least a sibling's (as opposed to the cousin, neighbor, or friend's kid who was the original owner of the jacket or what have you). And not just clothes; after a picnic lunch at the playground, it's no joke trying to figure out who owns each of eight unlabelled and nearly identical stainless steel thermoses... - Cindy Kandolf, mamma to Kenneth (12) and Robert (6) ****** Bærum, Norway Bilingual Families Web Page: http://www.nethelp.no/cindy/biling-fam.html |

My mother used to embroider our names in 1 inch high letters into the inside back of our school uniform sweaters. We never lost one for long. It seems no one else wants your sweater if your name is that big and that hard to take out. But back to the original quest, how do you get kids to not lose clothing. I'm pretty sure it has little to do with labeling and more to do with getting the kids to feel responsible enough to keep track, or at least go looking for their own stuff. Unfortunately that a parenting job, no gadgets help here. |
