I can’t believe my oldest is about to start Preschool!  I was thinking about everything we needed to do to get Miles ready for school. Getting his health form filled out by the doctor, copying his birth certificate and finding other supplies. Of course instead of working on any of those things, I settled on doing this fun DIY project.  Just like when I make orange slime, instead of washing the dishes.  I’m working on it (kind of), but at least you guys can benefit! First day of school signs (and last day) are so cute, and I want to make a tradition of taking first and last day of school pictures. 

Naturally I had to make my own and wanted to share them with you as well!  Matching last day signs will be posted later on in the year.

There are two versions, depending if you want color or not!  They are sized to print on 8.5 x 11 cardstock.  You can do regular printer paper, just make sure you let it dry.  It will not be as easy to hold up alone, but you can put it in a frame or mount it to something sturdier. 

I printed mine on cardstock and glued it to a large popsicle stick.  Worked great!  My little guy doesn’t start until early September, but I somehow convinced him to take some pictures so I can show you all what they look like in action. Isn’t he adorable?! What’s up with this scrunched up smile face?? 

Hope you have a great start to the school year!
