When the boys started Preschool two years ago, I got my big PBK chalk board and wrote 'Our First Day of School' with the date on it. I had the boys each take a pic with the chalkboard, and then together, and that was that.
Fast forward two years, the boys are starting kindergarten. I was thinking about how to make the chalk board sign more 'exciting' and different this time around. That's when I came across 'First Day' informational signs. Some vendors on Etsy will develop this graphic for you so your child not only has a pretty cool 'First Day' sign but it captures information about your child at that moment of time.
Of course with my awesome sense of timing, I found these signs the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend...school started the Tuesday after Labor Day. Plus, did I really want to spend $40 on two signs that I needed for a pic...not really.
So I went ahead and started collecting stats for the boys - I grabbed their height/weight and interviewed them on their favorite things.
I had some leftover craft paper I used for their signs and took regular old Sharpies to the paper and made it as creative as possible.
The end results:
They loved their signs when they saw them in the morning. I loved the signs I made for them...especially my freehand Batman and Incredibles logos. It's Day 3 of school and the boys STILL love reading their signs while they eat breakfast. The plan now will be to make one each school year, until they tell me to stop cause I'm embarrassing them, so I'll always have something for them to look back on!
