Kids own so many things, sometimes, even more than an adult. From water bottles and bags to pencil cases and notebooks, it's easy to misplace their belongings. And with two young ones so close in age, that's an even larger number of belongings to deal with. And when they reach schooling age, the chances of their items being taken by mistake becomes higher, especially if they are similar.
Label their belongings, you say? Sure, provided they don't fade over time. This is one gripe I have with the labels that I have tried. Sometimes, the labels lose their stickiness after several washes, and start peeling off. Which means that I have to constantly remember to replace label after label.

When I received a set of Stickerkid labels, I admit, I doubted its quality. From the plastic packaging that it came in, it looked just like other labels that I've tried. Nothing that different to the eye. So it seemed.
What surprised was the quality of the labels. Stickerkid labels feel like extremely soft plastic. Because of this, it doesn't tear easily or crease easily either. While some labels end up having air bubbles trapped beneath them when they are being applied, it is easy to squeeze any trapped air bubbles from underneath a Stickerkid label, thanks to its softness.
And no wonder. Stickerkid stands by its promise to use the highest quality material to produce the best possible, most malleable stickers which can be applied on nearly every surface. All products are manufactured in Switzerland, and the folks at Stickerkid are extremely careful and meticulous in selecting the materials, papers to make the labels. Over the past seven years, they have continually improved the product, and I must say, it is of extremely good quality.
I also like how customisable Stickerkid stickers are. The background colour, font colour, font type can be customized; even a cute logo can be added on the bigger stickers. I asked both EV and AA what their favourite colour was, and they both unanimously chose blue. To give them further ownership of the labels, in the hope that they will fall in love with them, I got them to chose their favourite icons themselves. EV chose a bus while AA chose a helicopter.
The stickers come in a variety of types and sizes, such as small, medium, large, extra large stickers, shoe stickers and iron-on clothing labels. And they are highly resistant too, to water, microwaves, washing machines, fridge and even the freezer.
This is what we received:
1. Small 1-line stickers, which are great for pencils or other thin items
2. Medium 2-line stickers, for mugs or small notebooks
3. Shoe stickers, designed to fit snugly into shoes, with an option to include a contact number in case kiddo gets lost
4. Iron-on clothes labels, easily applied with an iron and can be machine washed up to 45 times at 60. The labels can also be removed by reheating.
These labels were a hit with EV, of course, given her love for stickers. She had a fun time picking the exact sticker to use and finding belongings to stick them on. She even put AA's name sticker on items that they shared. As you can see, she didn't want to keep to the recommended 'use' of the stickers, and opted to use the shoe stickers for her new journal instead.
High quality and easy to stick on different surfaces. These personalised stickers are a big help in helping us identifying the kids' personal belongings. Yes, this mummy is super pleased.
