School Labels

Labels for different ages and needs

This set includes simple name labels, subject labels and labels for common school supplies. Younger children can colour a bold design and trace their name with help from an adult. Children in primary classes can write their full name, class or section, then add a colour or small drawing to recognise their things quickly. Older children can use neat subject labels for notebooks, folders and project files. The templates leave room for handwriting, so they can be used with names in English or another familiar language.

Useful ideas for home and class

At home, invite your child to label notebooks, pencil boxes, water bottles, lunch boxes and art folders before the school week begins. In class, print a selection for subject folders, group baskets, reading books or craft trays. Use one colour for each subject, such as blue for maths and green for environmental studies, if that matches your classroom system. You can pair these labels with Name Tags for Kids for desk work or classroom displays. Keep a few blank labels ready for new supplies.

Helping children label items clearly

Children often write too large for the space, leave out a letter in their name or place a label where it can be rubbed off. First, let your child say the name slowly and copy it from a card if needed. Show them how to leave a small margin around the writing and keep letters on the line. For bottles and lunch boxes, place labels on a smooth, dry area and cover them with clear tape if suitable. Check labels after washing or regular use, and replace any that become hard to read.
