Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I only had written words labeling the cardboard boxes of blocks and such in the childrens' closet. Dc who cannot read kept digging into the boxes to see what was inside. I had the idea today to do a google images search for pictures of the toys in each box, cut them out and taped them on. Works like a charm!

We do this too!

I have them laminated for durability, and place a velcro dot on the back of each. Each child also has two velcro dots on their door. They are only allowed to have two bins out at a time. To remove a bin the take off the label and place it on the door. This way there isn't too much out at once! Once everything has been tidied they can re-affix the label to the bin. I've been using this for a couple of years now. I love this system!

Brilliant! I also have fabric boxes with school supplies and laminated the cards and used heavy duty box tape to keep them on the boxes and they STILL kept falling off! I have some of those dots and I'm going to use them now!
