School lunches

[Traveller]

maybe it's just my kids then, but the cooler bags have always come apart at the seams so after a while just wiping them out doesn't work any more. Maybe they play football with them

[Mother Goose]

now there's a thought Trav! Although I used to use mine to sit on...

Cooler bag here, with the small containers and a freezer block. Drink goes in a zip pocket on the side.

Have given up on labels, even the exxie ones just don't stick after awhile. Containers come home for now, lets hope that continues.

When all else fails go the sharpie I vacuum out and wipe the kids cooler bags and they are fine. They have 1 that lasts a whole year.

I love the Stuck on You labels and never had problems with them staying on when DD was a baby at creche (bottles) so was planning to get some. But I also love my Sharpie!!!!! Hmmmmmmm

DD has a smash cooler. She has had it a couple of years now. I wash it (fully submerged) in hot soapy water. I do it once a week and it dries on the rack overnight.

ETA - yep. Sharpie all the way

It is the stuck on you ones that are failing. School seems to be harder on them for some reason with us. Sometimes I can get one to stick for a couple of weeks, but other times, lucky if it lasts the day. I have actually scratched DD1's name into the paint on her drink bottle.

[Mother Goose]

hmmm interesting Astrid! How old are your labels? If they are new, I don't think I'll bother buying them!

[Astrid]

Bought them over 3 years ago. So it could be age. DD2's are newer, but don't really need to use them in the same capacity as DD1, so can't compare. Also have Dymo label maker, they are ok, not as good the the SOY ones, on the school gear.
