Dresser Labels for 3 Year Old Girl

I made dresser labels for my kids in Word using free clip art and printed them on shipping label stock which I already had on hand. All it cost was a little time.

Organize the drawer perfectly. Take a picture with your cell phone or camera. Print the picture off, cover it with clear contact paper and velcro or stick it with something like Elmer's glue that will wash off to the front of her drawers. That way she will see what's in the drawer plus she'll also be able to see what you'd like for it to look like when she is helping clean.

I always used clean contact paper or the heavy packing tape that is clear. Then I just stick the picture to the front. I am not worried about how it will look.

How about take a picture of one of her tops, a pair of panties, a pair of shorts, a pair of socks and tights, a pair of pajamas.. Print them out and either adhesive attach them or use ribbon to tie them on to the knobs.

I would also have them laminated..

Perhaps cut out pictures from a magazine or catalog and paste them to the drawers. I like the idea of taking pictures of her clothes and taping them to the drawer.

I did this for the toy bins. Take a picture of what goes in each drawer.....remember to add some space around the object so you can cut it down to size and not chop off the object. Put it in plastic name tag holders. You can get 10-12 for about $3. I used the clips they came with and hung them on the handles on the fabric bins.

You could put them in the plastic name tag holders and tape them on so that you can remove the picture if need be. (Esp. if you change your mind about where things go or change the seasons.)

If you want a picture, I love the ideas of taking an actual picture of her things, laminating and hanging on the drawers.
If you want words associated, I love the chalkboard paint. Use a stencil of a cute shape (heck even a shirt, pants, etc) and paint on the drawer and then use chalk to write the word "shirt" in the shirt.

Best.

All I used to do was: on a Post-It note, I just wrote on it, then stuck it onto the drawer of the dresser. ie: bottoms, tops, underwear etc.
Doing it this way, does not cost any extra money.
And you just show the child, what is in the drawer and what goes in it.
It is about 'categorizing' which a child this age, developmentally begins... to do at this age or younger/older.

The thing is, a child will quickly learn what goes in what drawer. Then you will not need... a label for the drawer.

Powerpoint! I've made many very attractive/cute labels for lots of stuff around my house. Depending on the surface I want to put them on, I'll use glue, tape, sticky tack, etc. You can play around with the size and type of font, color, borders; the choices are endless!! AND you can insert pictures of just about anything you want. At a fraction of the cost!

Good luck!!

I found some post-it-notes labels (so it wouldn't harm the furniture finish) and traced the pictures from free clip art. I then explained as I added the label to each drawer (this is where your socks go - see the picture of the socks) so he was sure to understand each picture.

Gamma G stole my answer! :)

When my older kids were little, I bought a bottle of "glue" that made paper and light weight items stick to stuff like post it notes do. It was not permanent and to remove, you just used soap and water. We cut things out of magazines and sales papers, pasted that to 3/5 cards and "glued" those to the drawers.

When I need specific pictures, I google "polar bear clip art", or whatever picture I need. It comes up with tons of options. You can do color or black and white it you want to color it yourself. Then copy and paste it into a word document. You can then resize it so it works for what you need. If you want it laminated, office supply stores will do it for you at a reasonable price.

Go to the craft store. You can make it a project that two of you can work on together. It will be even more of a bonding time.
