So/ making these plastic “luggage” tags are HOT right now! Mine aren’t just for “fun” they are going to serve an important purpose! On the back of these tags I included vital info for each child. So they are my Ident-a Kid tags. I also have these plastic cards we had taken at the police station with their photos, info and fingerprints.
It has their name, DOB, ALLERGIES, height and weight, our names & cell numbers, hotel we are staying in, our address and doctors #’s. Alexa has a little more info as you can imagine, but its all important if someone found her and there was an emergency!
They will clip on the kids clothing. They will be in plain sight just in case the child forgets. I think you would want to look at it if you found a lost child.
We have told our kids if you get lost, and can’t find us, find a Disney Character and show them your tag. Now I know there are personnel all through the park, and once we see what these people wear we will also take note. At my kids ages I think they will more easily remember to find a Disney character than a person. Especially Alexa who WILL NOT talk to anyone!
I got mine at Walmart- 12pk for $1. Im hoping we won’t need them for anything! But its better to be safe than sorry! My mom thinks there is too much info! What if someone kidnaps them! Well heaven forbid, but I really want every opportunity to be listed if they get lost to be found. Mothers!!!!
This place is HUGE, and although we have a one adult to one child ratio it can be crowded and things can happen. I know I probably sound insane, but Ive learned YOU can be THAT person!
Now about the tags-
Here is Alexa’s
She of course had to have her Alexa set and use the Groovy girlby MissyB Designs!!! I used Rhapsody designer paper by 3 bugs in a rug, Cardstock is SU! whisper white, orchid, Caribbean, and certain celery. The alpha’s on all the monograms are by Cuttlebug Red Tag alpha. My sakura glitter pen outline’s them for some “bling” Ribbon is by CardMaker.
Now here is Noah’s
I got the Buzz Light Year stamp at Michaels. Used the image on the stamp to figure out the colors! Red, gable green, and Lilac.
And here is Amber’s
She wanted Mickey and Minnie Mouse. This is a foam mount stamp from a set also bought at Michaels. Colored with markers. She chose the pink & black! She’s a natural I tell ya!
Thanks for looking!

Great Job and Idea… Hope you guys had a blast and can’t wait to see picts. All your P.S.F. missed you. Hope everyone is well..
These are adorable and I hope you didn’t need to use them! Welcome home!! We missed you and can’t wait to hear all about the trip. 🙂
Love the tags, how cute and smart! Hope you had a great time!
These are adorable Lauren!! Perfect idea…and they look totally cute too! I bet the kids loved them too…You were SOOOOOO missed!!! Hope it was an awesome time!
Lauren, these are perfect!! I soooo wish I had made one when we went a few years ago and my DD got lost in the crowd looking at Sleeping Beauty’s castle. Found her but talk about panic!
Lauren ~ they turned out great! I love them! Such a great idea for little ones!
Keep this in mind when your children have after school activities. My DD used to be in Daisy’s and Brownies and would meet a several times during the month. I made something similar so the teacher (and DD) would have a visual reminder not to get on the bus but to stay after for Brownies. Worked great.
Glad you’re all back safe and sound. Can’t wait to hear about your trip!
What a wonderful idea…I hope all was wonderful at Disney…what a great mom!
What a neat idea. Very cute.
