Why do I need to label everything for school or dayare?
You might have hunted down the most unsual lunchbox, backpack or drink bottle, but you can almost guarantee that once your little fish is out in the bigger pond, there’s going to be at least one other kid with the same. It can be quite stressful for kids to misplace their lunchbox and if it isn’t labelled it can make tracking it down, or getting it back to the rightful owner that bit trickier.
