How to take your photos
You can honestly take your back to school photos however you want but here are a few ideas to help!
- Take the photo outside (better lighting!)
- Use the school bus as the backdrop and take the photo before your child gets on
- Take a photo with your child’s teacher so you can document the day and their teacher for the year
- Take your photo at drop off (if you can walk your child in) so you can get the school in the background
Supplies Needed:
Below are the supplies I recommend to get the best out of your new printable!
- Bright White Cardstock (not required but makes it pretty!)
- Printer (this HP ones my favorite)
How to use your first day of school signs
Printing and using these signs is simple! Just click the download button below (no sign ups required here!) and print the page you want. For example, of you want the preschool sign you would choose to print page 2 (the first page is the cover page). You can of course print all of them if you want but there’s no need to waste ink if it’s not needed!
