Clever daughter! They're really nice.

I'm planning on getting my daughter to help with such things as she's much better than me too!

They are lovely!

I have similar ones except mine are colouring pictures and we sit and colour them in when they are printed.

I never seem to have any coloured ink!

isn't it reeeaaallly annoying how good kids are at computer stuff????

I can spend hours doing something that I think looks wonderful, only to be told by one of my 4 boys that they could have done a much better job in half the time, I only had to ask!!!!!!!!

Labels look great by the way!!!!!! Well done your daughter!!!!

Lovely colourful labels, but you have got me a bit worried, all my toys are all over the place... In each toybox the kids could find a range of different toys and books. I could place just one of my boxes out and my two lo could spend ages rummaging through them finding all sort of toys, dolls, trains, books, small world things. If one of them finds a "pig" and indicates that they wanted to play with the farm, then I rummage through the other 6 toy boxes with them and we find the pieces that will go into the farm. I make this into a game and the things they want to play with in the farm often has me in stitches, for instance the lo wanted the dolls bottle to feed the sheep, as he visited a farm recently to see the lambs being fed. If the dolls bottle was in the dolls toy box that would never have happened.
So thanks for letting me see your wonderful labels, they look great, but I will keep my messy system for a while longer.
Does anyone else work this way?

there is no set way on how to make use of things in your own setting.

i have boxes with toys in that are labeled such as knex, magnetix etc for the older children then cars box has a mix of trains animals and other transport but the label states cars .. other bits to enhance their play. same with farm box it has bits from the dolls house in it and most of the time the animals visit the dolls house.
i alos have a storage unit that was once tidy and organised but mindees decided my oranisation was rubbish and decided to colour code toys instead! now i have musical instruments mixed in with mcdonalds toys books fidget toys and who knows what else is in there .... BUT the children did it not me so i'm not putting it the way I want it to be as that would take away their personasliation of the room/mess etc.
