labels for toy boxes

**danast** · 08-03-2009, 08:09 PM

hi
Not sure where to put this ,so please feel free to move my post where it should be.
I am trying to work out how to make labels for my toy boxes and drawers.
Was looking at sparkle box but could not find anything appropriate to childminding.
Can you help where to find pictures and how to do this please?
thank you very much

I have taken a pic of whats in the drawer and then written what it is in english at the top of the pic and in French at the bottom

I've got to do the same! Just put together my new units fron ikea - now need to label them. Old boxes only had the words on, but needs pics too...

Not a computer expert though and for some reason can not copy and paste the ones i want. It only lets me download whole page.

I just googled images of what I was looking for and made my own labels for some. Others I have used sparklebox labels

**singlewiththree** · 08-03-2009, 08:32 PM

I either googled the image of the item or took a photo myself and then wrote the name on it.

I used some from sparklebox but am not happy ... i like all my labelling to match and mine dont for the draws so i am definatelly going to have to replace them ... the chores of imperfection ! hehe

I did mine in Word and added images from Clip Art.

**brillminder** · 08-03-2009, 09:51 PM

now you just need the time to do it ? add it on the never ending list x

I got lots of mine off the Early Learning centre and Toys R us etc websites. If you right click on an image it gives you the option to save the image, then I clipart it into a word document with the Word above it and stick it on with contact. X

Oh yes I know what you mean if you download the whole lot and then print the pages you want you can then delete the download if you know what I mean ?

Yes I think this is good idea I will do that

**desiderata** · 10-03-2009, 02:03 PM

I did what the others did googled some of the toys I have in the boxes and printed off the pictures and wrote the names on the boxes I didnt think to put them in more languages tho thats a very good idea. Then I laminated them and stuck them to the boxes. The inspector seemed impressed when she emptied them all. xx

Label 1.doc

Label 2.doc

Label 4.docT

These are what I use. Sorry had to split them up to download them and couldnt get the 3rd one to download at all which was dressing up and had photos of children in dressing up clothes

**Happy Feet** · 26-03-2009, 10:51 AM

I was just going to have written labels....but after seeing the attached files I think having pictures/photos of whats in them as well is a great idea!

another job to add to my list!!

I've never bothered to label anything, all my boxes are the same size and I get the children to decide what should go in what box. That way they have control over what they want to use together, so they might store little people with cars or end up using things in a way I would never have thought of
