Back to School With Mabel's Labels
Enter to Win an Ultimate Back to School Combo!
Tired of your kids misplacing things while off at school, sporting events, or sleepovers? Mabel's Labels make it easy to tag anything and everything your kids take with them so that even if your kids leave something behind it can be returned to them easily.

Fashion Playtes, So Cool for Back to School!

Fashion Playtes allows girls to create fashions in the styles and fabrics they like and then add embellishments such sequins, ruffles, and their own tag to their creation. Even better? The prices are reasonable! Shirts start at just ten dollars, dresses at fifteen dollars, then each embellishment adds a little to the cost.
