looking for some nice garden labels for kids

[4390evans]

Anyone know of any nice garden labels that would be good for 2 year olds?

I'm wanting them big and bright, I know I could make my own but I want them to last and stand out.

any ideas?

I made these, but kids could easily have a go too:



Edit: I think the spoons were 40p-ish from one of my most referenced stores

Thanks Yasai, I spotted a few ideas online for plant markers, made with a variety of objects, from lolly sticks, stones and sticks: https://www.pinterest.com/BohoBumble/allotment/

Those are brilliant Bohobumble, I think they would be so much better and the kids can identify what is there. Yep I think I will give them a go. thanks

I used sharpies but paint would work just as well, would need to be protected by varnish tho!

I think I might make some of the stone ones next with the varieties marked on them, combined with the spoons as a 'family' marker.

By the way, I don't have kids, they're for meee! I am trying to relax the regimentation a little on our site

I've been experimenting with painted stones for a few years, & found the best way is blackboard paint, and chinagraph pencil*, no varnish

Click on my profile to see some I did last year

* or Rimmel's white nail pencil

I've used a Chalk Board pen to write on stone before. Works really well you can even draw a little picture on them too.

we use a paper laminator , kids make their own designs on paper then its laminated leaving 10mm gap around the edge and then cut out .

FYI, nipped into Bicester W1lko the other day as I was in the area - the spoons were in stock at 30p each
