1st Day of School: Outfit Ideas, DIY Photo Signs, and Special Memories
The 1st Day of School is a milestone for kids—and perhaps an even bigger one for parents. I’m already anticipating the mix of emotions I’ll feel on Mario’s 1st Day of Pre-School. I know I’ll be beaming with pride while also feeling a little sad that my baby is growing up so fast!
One of the best ways to preserve this special day is with a photo. Every fall, I look forward to seeing my friends post photos of their kids on their 1st Day of School on Facebook and Instagram, and I plan to do the same with Mario.
I love the idea of Mario holding a sign with details like the school year, teacher’s name, date, and his age. I plan to make the sign myself because DIY projects are always more meaningful, especially when Mario helps! For busy moms who prefer a ready-made option, there are plenty of printables available online. Some of my favorites are from livinglocurto.com, thecraftingchicks.com, iheartnaptime.net and onesweetparty.com. These signs are not just cute—they’re a great way to remember details years later, like what your child wore, who their teacher was, what grade they were in, or what they want to be when they grow up..
Speaking of what they were wearing… of course, I'm going to talk fashion. I've pulled together 1st Day of School outfits for both girls and boys that will give them major SWAG on their big day.
