Only a few weeks until our trip to Florida. We have 5 kids making the journey with us and each has a backpack , a bag , toys etc… Keeping track of everything and having even the remote possibility of having lost items returned to us, I decided to make luggage/property tags.
The photo shows the steps involved and it only took half an hour to gather the supplies, cut the bags and paper and thread the ribbon ( okay, that’s really a little white lie because I had to change a poopy diaper, shout at a kid to flush the toilet and wash his hands, reheat my coffee for the 10th time, reset MarioKart on the Wii, find the hole punch in the office and stop to take the photos) .You get the idea, maybe a project for when the kids are asleep, like most of mine have to be.
Anyhoo, I will add each child’s name and a phone number (use your cellphone , not the home number or you’ll never get the message until you arrive home) after I print off the computer using Waltograph font (free download) and it looks like Disney lettering.
I might also make one onto a lanyard with the kids names on them for walking through the theme parks, yes , we have lost them too at one time or another.
Packing the bags next, what will I forget to pack? Answers on a postcard please!
