Update: This post is a few year’s old – my youngest just finished Kinder! But it’s still one of my most popular posts, and we use these first day of school printables every year – enjoy!
Eeeeek! My oldest is starting kindergarten this year. Kind of a big deal around here!
So OF COURSE I will be making him take excessive amounts of pictures on his first day of school, and OF COURSE I wanted to make him a cute little sign that he could hold on the first day of school every.single.year until he graduates high school (I’m sure he’ll be a great sport about it, right?!). And then, I have a three-year-old starting pre-k in the fall, and I didn’t want her to be left out, soo…I made her one, too.
And these First Day of School printables are yours to print out and use, too! 🙂
(Be sure to get the matching Last Day of School printables here, too)

Just click on the images below to download the printable (or printables!) of your choice.
If you use these, send me a picture – I’ll share on Facebook and Twitter! 🙂

Love the first one so much! Thank you for the free printable, now my boys will actually have something cute to hold, instead of their ugly old green chalkboard (not vintage like you are thinking). Thanks again, great idea
