Free Printable First Day of School Signs
I’m always coming up with ideas for printables to share with my readers and this is one of those crafts that I forced myself to find time to make so it was available on the blog. I had this crazy idea to create a free printable first day and last day of school bunting while putting the kids to bed and managed to have it designed and made before I headed to bed ;P Keep reading to see how to use and download these Free Printable First Day of School Signs!
2021 Update: This post was first published on August 11, 2016. I’ve used these banners in my kid’s first and last day of school photos every year since! I store the banner in an envelope to keep it for the next time I need it. It’s simple to tape to a wall and take a picture and have those school memories for your kids 🙂
First Day of School Sign Banner
There are 2 First and Last Day of school signs featured in this post. The first one is this First Day of School Banner with the year included. Since I made this banner several years ago, the current year may not apply but you can still use the “First Day of School” sign.
I also included extra flags with letters “L” and “A” so you can take “FIRST DAY” and “LAST DAY” pictures.
Feel free to print as many as you like or share with your teacher friends or your child’s teachers. This would look great in a classroom or on a classroom door too 🙂
Hang on a fence, on your front door, over a fireplace, on a front porch, or wherever you want to take pictures. Or you can also ask your child(ren) to hold the bunting in the picture as a photo prop.
