When your not-so-little-one is ready to start daycare and school, you gear up to buy all the essentials to get them prepared for this milestone in their life. You take a deep dive into the internet for the best backpacks and lunch bags, pick out the cutest outfits, and acquire the most functional water bottles so they can have fun learning and growing. Then, you drop them off on their first day—you may shed a tear or two—and count down to when you can pick them up to hear all about their special day. You also expect to pick them up with all the supplies and clothing you originally had dropped them off in. 

But, more often than you may expect, that striped sweater or that leak-proof water bottle gets lost in the school abyss otherwise known as the germy lost-and-found. That’s when you realize what most moms learn one way or another: name labels for daycare and school are game changers. With the right name labels, you can feel more secure with anything you purchase because their name is displayed loudly, proudly, and clearly.

If you’re on the search for the best name labels you could ever find (or looking to upgrade from a Sharpie-labeling technique), below is a list of our favorite name labels from Mabel’s Labels that our editors love for both daycare and school.

 

What are Mabel’s Labels?

Mabel’s Labels are loved by parents, teachers, child care providers and more because they offer a wide variety of labeling products to meet the needs of your child no matter their age or stage in their development. They are dishwasher and microwave safe, easy to apply, and super durable. With Mabel’s Labels, you won’t ever have to worry about your name labels ripping, fading, or peeling.

Mabel’s Labels
Preschool Label Pack

“My boys love having the big design so that they can easily identify their items since they can’t read yet. The designs reflect their favorite interests and the bright colors are so fun. We’ve had other significantly smaller labels that didn’t last, but I haven’t had a single label fall off.” — Alexandra Pagar-Wolf, mom of Zach, 3, and Ollie, 2

This pack contains 34 labels, including: shoe labels, square labels, larger rectangular labels, and Tag Mates stick-on clothing labels

Little Kid School Combo

“These labels are so perfect for all of my toddler’s preschool needs. My favorite element, though, has to be the shoe labels. Beyond being cute (we love the rainbow design!) and helping to keep track of our gear, it allows my daughter to put her shoes on herself. Because the sticker is split into two, she can figure out which shoe goes on each foot and allows her a little extra independence as she gets ready in the morning.” — Amanda Shapin Michelson, mom to Millie, 3

This pack contains 122 labels, including: rectangle labels, Tag Mates stick-on clothing labels, and shoe labels.

Ultimate Back-to-School Combo

“This year, I decided to get the ultimate combo with my kids' last name so I could use them for both of my girls. I love that I can ditch the way I’d been labeling their items (black permanent marker) and get them involved in taking care of their own items, now that they’re older. My kids loved that Mabel’s Labels offers creature graphics and they decided on the cute dog print to go along with their name.” — Kathy Sisson, mom to Corinne, 9, and Sammy, 6

This pack contains 126 labels, including: rectangle labels, Tag Mates stick-on clothing labels, and shoe labels

Mini Clothing Stamp

“With two actively growing boys, I have to constantly size up their clothing and shoes as well as rotate things out for our very seasonal New England climate. The mini clothing stamp has been the most epic game changer. I leave it on top of my washing machine and stamp new items as they go into the laundry. The stamp is designed for tag-less items, which is perfect for my boys and really helps with smaller items like underwear and socks!” — Alexandra Pagar-Wolf, mom to Zach, 3, and Ollie, 2

This black ink name stamp can be used up to 500 times!

Allergy Stickers

“Having a child with food allergies can cause a lot of anxiety for parents when they are in school. With the food allergy labels, I can ensure that my son’s caretakers are aware of his allergies at all times so he is safe when he's not with me.” — Carmen Garcia-Shushtari, mom to Amory, 4

This pack includes 16 labels for the eight most common food allergens.

Middle School Label Pack

“My son is about to go into first grade and I have been using Mabel’s Labels for him since preschool! These labels do not come off in the dishwasher, dryer, or just with everyday wear and tear, which is amazing. The sizing options are great—each pack has varied sizes so you are not committed to the same size for clothes and lunchboxes (obviously very different needs!). I also love that as my little guy gets bigger, the options of prints and colors grow up with him.” — Roberta Correia, mom to Lucas, 5

This pack contains 126 labels, including: rectangle labels, Tag Mates stick-on clothing Labels, and shoe labels.

Little Kid School Combo

“With the Little Kid School Combo labels, my son has been able to learn how to put his shoes on properly with the shoe labels and we’ve recovered so many 'lost' items saved by the labels on all his belongings, including his favorite water bottle with sharks dressed up as pirates! These labels are so durable that they stay on with a very active, playful boy as well as with many washings on all his items.” — Carmen Garcia-Shushtari, mom to Amory, 4

This pack contains 122 labels, including: rectangle labels, Tag Mates stick-on clothing labels, and shoe labels.
