About Mabel’s Labels:
We are moms who were frustrated by the amount of stuff that left our houses, never to return. After lots of research and testing we created the perfect fun, durable labels for the stuff kids lose!

Our sticky labels and clothing labels, which are dishwasher, microwave and laundry safe, are not only practical, but also designed to be very special to each child. The labels are customized with a child’s name, favourite mix of colours and an icon (animal, symbol, etc.). We have also expanded our product line to include personalized stationery products, ID wristbands and household labels.”

We strive to continuously design innovative labels for babies, kids and grown-ups alike. You’ll be amazed at what you can label!”

If you would like to purchase one of these items, please reply to this email to let me know. You can send payment in with your child and I can send the item home with your child.



Pop Tabs
