Perfect Printables For the First Day of Kindergarten!
1. Free Printable First Day of School Signs
The 1st day of school sign tradition is not going anywhere anytime soon.
And just because you’re homeschooling doesn’t mean you shouldn’t jump in on the fun!
I love the colorful, eye-catching designs from The Housewife Modern! You can pick from her four choices and fill in the blocks. I really like that you can easily use the same one for every grade level!
2. Editable First Day of School Signs
If you don’t want the pressure of having to fill in the answers with calligraphy-level handwriting, you might prefer to take the easy way with free printable signs from A1Worksheets.
They are completely editable (you can change years!), they come in several different styles/colors, and you can use them all the way up to 12th grade!
Some families like taking pictures with “Last Day of School” signs too. Consider saving this sign till the end of the year, putting a big X over first, and writing “last.”
Your kid will have quite the triumphant smile!
3. First Day and Last Day of Kindergarten Printable
Right away, I want you to know that this is one of two printables on the list that is not free. At the time of writing this, it costs $2 for a PDF file download of these adorable printables!
I had to include them because so many changes happen with kids during the kindergarten year. I love the idea of having a before and after style printable that allows you to compare things like what they want to be when they grow up, their favorite color, and their pictures.
It would really be a fun keepsake. Check out Littlehaloj to grab your own copy!
