First Day of School Signs (And Other Fun Back to School Ideas!)

Sharing some of our very favorite first day of school signs and other cute ideas! These easy and inexpensive ideas are perfect for commemorating your child’s new school year!

It feels odd to be talking about the first day of school already, but it really will be here before we know it! To be honest, I already have started collecting school supplies (don’t hate me!) for my two little ones. It feels sooo early, but skipping the mad dash at the end of August is totally worth it!

Because the first day is so hectic, I wanted to compile a list of inexpensive and simple first day of school signs (though I threw in a few other cute ideas just for fun) that you can easily print for a fun first day photo!
