How is it time for the first day of school already?! If there is one thing I know, it is how fast these years are going by. Document the first day of school this year with a DIY First Day of School Chalkboard!

First Day of School Chalkboard

You always hear from your elders how kids grow up in the blink of an eye. Now that my boys are growing up before my eyes, I see just how true this statement is. Summer break, then fall break, then winter break, then spring break and then BOOM summer break again. Crazy, isn’t it?

Want to make your own before school starts? All you need is a piece of chalkboard and a Cricut machine (although any vinyl cutting machine would work). Pre-cut chalkboards from craft stores or found online would work perfect.

Wanna save this for later?

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it when you're ready.

Spell out your child’s name (or don’t, especially if you have multiple children, you can write it in) and place your dots. Be to sure to include all of the information you’d like to remember.

  1. I have a 3rd grader and then my 2 year old. He'll be in prek before I know it! Thanks for the give away and added discount!
  2. My son Justin will be entering 2nd grade this year. My daughter is still in daycare. I would love to use this as a photo prop for my son's first day and reuse it for my daughter in a couple years. So cute!
  3. These are so cool!! My daughter will be in 1st grade and I've decided my son (he's 2) will never go to school! It's hard enough letting my daughter go! Lol jk jk
  4. I like you Ashlea always use construction paper or paper printouts. This would be a super fun tradition to start. I have kids in 1st-2nd-3rd-5th so this would be used for SEVERAL years to come!
