As a retired Pre-school teacher my best trick was to snap a quick picture of each type of toy, using one of my graphic programs I added the names. Then printed, cut out and attached to clear tubbies with wide clear packing tape. The tape is strong it so it holds well even with tons of chidren handling it and it protects the labels so they last.
I also saved all my clear plastic containers like old peanut butter jars to hold all those small things, like game pieces, marbles and magnetic letters. I also made sure all the tubbies were clear so they could see what was inside each tubbie. Worked like a charm. I repurposed everything I got my hands on, so I didn’t have to be out of pocket for everything.
Love your blog, just thought I’d share.
Have a wonderful week,
Vikki

This is great way to attach the labels to the bins Laura! I have several of these bins and even made and printed my own labels, but I could not get them to stick to the fabric… Thanks!!!

This is the same system I have used for about 2 years now. I love it. I’ve tried labeling them other ways and it didn’t work. This is a fabulous idea. Thanks so much for sharing your tags. I may actually get it done now.

[...] Next we have the toy cubby unit that I absolutely love. I love that even my youngest son can handle the baskets and I also love that the baskets keep the clutter hidden and contained. Labels help identify what goes where. You can read more about that here. [...]

I have two of these in our playroom (one for each child) and I love, love, love them! Picking up toys is so much easier when everything has a place. I love the card label idea, though. I will definitely be using that one. Thanks for posting.

A month or two ago I too invested in that same cubbie shelving for the play room. I bought different color cubes and each one has assigned something. Such as RED – Trains, BLUE – cars, GREEN – kitchen stuff, PINK – doll dress up etc.
