There's no escaping it: you'll have the tedious task of gluing or sewing labels on your kid's things! On clothes, avoid putting stickers (like the ones you stick on notebooks), which are more difficult to remove and disastrous in the wash. Fortunately, some brands offer labels to stick with the iron and washable!
Ludilabel labels – from € 9.95
And for shoes – from 5.95 €
With this selection, you have everything you need for your little one's first school year. The teacher may provide you with a list of things to purchase as a supplement, but it depends on the school. Avoid adding toys or jewelry-like things, which will surely end up lost (in any case, expect some things to never come back).
