Color Read Alphabets Save The Day!

Three kids with three separate valentines parties.  We spent a lot of time over the week picking out valentines, putting together goody bags, signing and addressing valentines and putting together the "decorated shoe box" for my first grader's class party.

It's Friday morning and the car is all loaded up with party supplies, teacher gifts, flowers, lunches, back packs and a nap mat.  We are about to leave to start the morning rush of dropping off the kids at their schools and my son points out that his name wasn't on his shoe box!  In a flash, the Close To My Heart Color Ready Alphabet's sprung to mind and we used the adhesive backed letters to quickly label his box for the school party.  

Close To My Heart Color Ready Alphabet (Oxford X5749) outlined with the CTMH black marker saved the day!  It was quick, simple and perfect!
