When we were toddlers, my mother labeled everything in our house—doors, windows, closets. As we got our clothes, we saw the word "closet." As we tinkered on the piano, we saw the word "piano." We absorbed what was part of our daily environment. She's a teacher, and her philosophy is that if you surround young children with the tools they need to learn, over time, they will simply choose to explore that which surrounds them. And through that exploration, they can acquire vast knowledge.

As I recreated these labels for my own kids, I thought what a great tool they could be for any parent, as they function on multiple learning levels. For non-readers it can help them acquire letter recognition. Early readers can recognize and sound out words. And for those who already read, well, there's no longer any excuse for not knowing where to put your socks away.

We've developed a tool-kit that includes:

• 300+ word labels, with low-tack adhesive for easy removability
• duplicate word labels for high-traffic areas
• 50 water-resistant labels for kitchen and bath
• labels for the numbers 1 thru 50
• 50 directional labels
• 30 blank labels
• 1 label t-shirt and Sharpie, to label the important thing...your child!
