The good news? Labels for school supplies don’t have to be boring. In fact, they can be downright pun-derful!

We’ve come up with ten punny, hilarious ways to label your kids’ school supplies. Not only will these ideas make your child’s backpack the coolest in class, but they’ll also help keep track of those easily misplaced items (we’re looking at you, glue sticks).

 Ready to bring some laughs to the classroom? Let’s get labeling!

1. “You Rule, Kid!”

What better way to start off the school year than by reminding your child how awesome they are? Slap this pun on their ruler, and suddenly math class doesn’t seem so bad!

• Where to use it: Label the ruler (obviously) or slap it on a pencil case filled with rulers, protractors, and other math goodies. Now your kid’s ready to measure up to the challenge!

2. “Write On, Dude!”

Perfect for labeling pencils, pens, and notebooks, this pun will give your kid’s writing tools some major personality. They’ll feel like the coolest kid in class every time they reach for a pen.

• Where to use it: Label pencil pouches, individual pencils, or even spiral notebooks. It’s a great way to make sure their pens and pencils don’t mysteriously “walk off” with other students.

3. “You’re a Sharp One!”

A sharp pun for a sharp kid! Label their pencil sharpener with this phrase, and they’ll never forget to keep their pencils ready for action. Plus, it’s a good reminder that they’re one smart cookie!

• Where to use it: Stick this one right on the pencil sharpener or even on the box of colored pencils.

4. “Stick with It!”

This one’s for glue sticks, of course! A pun that’s motivational and practical—what more could you want? Every time your child grabs their glue stick for an art project, they’ll get a little reminder to stay focused (and maybe keep their supplies from disappearing!).

• Where to use it: Label glue sticks or any adhesive supplies like tape or glue bottles. It’s a cute way to add some flair to their craft projects.

5. “You’re the Highlight of My Day”

For highlighters, this pun is an easy win. Whether they’re using their neon markers to study or doodle, your kid will love having this bright and happy message on their supplies.

• Where to use it: Label each highlighter, or use this pun on a pouch or case that holds them. It’s a surefire way to make studying a bit more cheerful.

6. “You’re Out of This World!”

Got a kid who’s obsessed with space? This pun works perfectly on their school labels and makes them feel like a star. Whether it’s a lunch box, water bottle, or notebook, this label adds an intergalactic touch.

• Where to use it: Ideal for lunch boxes, thermoses, or water bottles that need to stand out in a sea of school supplies. Bonus points if they love astronauts and planets!

7. “Erase Your Mistakes, But Not Your Smile”

This one’s for the erasers! Remind your kid that it’s okay to make mistakes, as long as they keep smiling through it. It’s a cute, lighthearted pun that adds positivity to their school day.

• Where to use it: Label erasers, of course! Or slap it on their pencil case so they see it every time they grab their writing supplies.

8. “Stay Sharp, Don’t Be a Pencil!”

This fun twist on the classic “don’t be dull” will give your kid’s pencils some added flair. Plus, it’s a fun reminder to always stay on top of their work!

• Where to use it: Ideal for pencils, but you can also stick this on their backpack or folder if you want to add an extra layer of motivation.

9. “I’m Cuter than a Button!”

Got buttons, badges, or charms on backpacks? This one’s the perfect label for kids who love showing off their personal style! It’s a simple way to add some humor to their accessories.

• Where to use it: Perfect for labeling button sets, pins, or even backpacks and jackets if they’re into flair!

10. “You’ve Got the ‘Write’ Stuff!”

This is a versatile pun that works on almost anything. Whether you’re labeling their notebooks, binders, or folders, it’s a fun and positive way to remind your kid how capable they are.

• Where to use it: Label all the essentials—folders, notebooks, and binders. It’s the perfect catch-all pun for a variety of supplies.
