Here are 3 things you can do on the first day of school with minimum effort to make what is usually a stressful day more fun.

Take a First day of school picture

This is one of those traditions that always trends on Instagram and Facebook in August.

Taking a picture of your kids in their new outfits and backpacks is a fun way to document the day and make it memorable.

Kids change from year to year and it’s really amazing to see their growth from picture to picture.  Some moms even take a photo on the first day of school AND on the last day of school. 

When you use a sign with your kid’s name and grade in the picture, you’ll have an instant way to see what year the picture was taken. That’s good for moms like me whose photo organization is a mess.

 I have many first day and last day of school printable signs in my shop for you to choose from.  They all include all the grades and you’ll be able to edit them with your kid’s name and the year.

I also have a free first day of school printable with all the grades.
