Here at Nature For Kids we realize it’s sometimes challenging to keep things organized when it comes to outdoor gear, especially when you have a family.

I’ve found something that helps…a simple labeler. I strived to keep things in order by trying to make my own labels.

They consisted of clear tape and construction paper. Needless to say the tape didn’t last long, collecting a lot of dirt and the writing faded fast.

I’ve been using a real labeler lately, the Brother P-Touch 1280. It’s label cartridges consist of laminated tape that is:

• UV resistant
• Perfect for outdoor use
• Water resistant
• Abrasion resistant

I used it this spring when planting seeds in our garden box.

I’ve also used it to label our recreation gear totes in the garage.

It’s been great to read the labels and know what’s inside without having to pull it off the shelf and take the lid off.

I’ve also used it to put our name and phone number on rakes, brooms and shovels for when we do service projects with large groups. It’s come in handy to also use on dishes I use for large get togethers as well.

Overall I’ve really enjoyed having the labeler around. It’s very easy and quick to use and to tell you the truth somewhat addicting. I found myself walking around the house trying to find something that needed labeled. Don’t worry the dog escaped me.
