I’m excited to share some first day of school photo prop signs as free printables! School begins in much of Arizona this week and I know many will follow well into September. We all like to have that first day of school photo as a memory for our children each year. I thought these photo prop signs would make it easy to give us  just that!
First day of school photo prop signs. Free Printables!
When I made these signs I happen to have some photos of my inkhappi star, my grandson “Lil Ry Guy” who was going into his second year of pre-school. He loves to pose and gave us a variety of poses for this special day.

Ok, is that not super cute?
Yes, that is super cute!!
Am I biased? Yes. But he IS cute! (:
Here’s a close up sample of the first day of school photo prop signs I made. They are made to print on an 8.5 x 11 paper My favorite color printing paper is THIS from AMAZON. You can also mount it on other paper or a frame or clipboard to get a fun effect for your photos! I have one available with every grade on it!
Here they are along with the download links:

super adorable little guy and these signs couldn’t be any cuter! Love them! Well done my friend – pinned these for future use! 😉
Thanks Laura! Means a lot coming from little miss creative designer-YOU! 🙂 I agree about the lil guy too 🙂
Thanks for making these. Love the colors! This is a silly question… Are you printing this at home on white paper? I love, love, love these! But I’m afraid of how much of my black ink it will use up. Or are you having them printed out somewhere else?
Thanks Ricki! I actually started doing my own prints at home because i got a nice inkjet printer and i use a nicer card stock type paper and they turn out really nice. My daughter prints a lot of my stuff on her average printer and it turns out nice also. Most of my things are colorful but few prints shouldn’t take up a terrible amount of ink. I would use a heavier stock paper though. Like at least 60lb. I know Office Max will Color copy on a nice stock paper for around a dollar for 8.5 x 11 and I have a couple of locals who charge even less than that and you may get a more professional result.
* I actually use a lazerjet printer and LOVE it! But my prints should print out nice on amy printer. 🙂

Thanks Sara for the awesome compliment! You know, thats what I strive for… to be the very BEST hahah. 😉
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these! I wish I had found them when my son was in Pre-K but we will start now in 2nd grade and go from there! 🙂 Any chance you could add similar ones for the last days of school (last day of 2nd grade, etc.)?
Thank you Maggie! I’m so glad you like them. I could definitely do some co-ordinating end of school year one. 🙂

I LOVE THESE!!! They are sooo cute. My daughter is starting Pre-K. Any chance you can make that sign? Where I am in Florida, Pre school is for 3 year olds and Pre-K is 4 year olds. Thanks
Thank you Susan! Dang I was gonna do that. Hmmmmmm I’ll get back to you on that soon! 😉
OOOOH….Thank you!!
Oh my.. How adorable are these. – You are a genius.. – Shame my biggest kid has already and just about finished his last day of Grade 12… That might be an idea for you also. – Just 1 maybe for the last day of Grade 1 saying they survived (would be cute for the teacher too! LOL) and then one for their very last day of Grade 12.. Thank you for these they are spectacular. Jenni – Australia
Awwww thanks Jenni! I am planning on doing some for the end of the school year also that coordinate with these.
That would be awesome. – They are just fantastic and thank you for sharing with those of us who wish we could do this! LOL.

Funny Jenni… but something tells me you’ve got talent!! I’m a big believer in sharing though, especially if it helps relieve time and stress from someone else. Enjoy! xoxo -Jillene
I have used your free printable sign for my preschooler this year in September and we have gotten a lot of complements on it! So thank you for designing something so darn cute! I have read your above comments and back in August 2014 you mentioned doing “last day of……” are those available? my daughter is reaching the last day very quickly and I would love to do the same design as “First day of…..” just with “last day of…..” !
Thank you!
Jenny
Ahhhh Jenny! Guess what? I just posted them. I hope you enjoy. 🙂 Send me a photo of your kids using them. I’d love to see it!
Thank you so much for sharing! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!
Awwww thanks Angie! I’m so glad you like this. 🙂
Hi Jillene, I found your adorable 1st day of school signs from a friend of mine. Is there any chance you have a 1st day of MDO (Mother’s Day Out) printable? I downloaded the Pre-K and Preschool ones for my older kids but my baby will be starting MDO this fall and I would love to be able to have a sign for her as well. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing creativity with us. Much appreciated, Kristen Miller
I’m on it Kristen! I got your other message and will get them to you. 🙂
These are the best back to school signs I have come across!
I’m having trouble printing the 2nd and 3rd grade. The 2 on 2nd grade does not print and the 3rd does not print at all. Is anyone else having an issue or I’m I doing something wrong with my print settings?
I am not able to print the 4th grade sign, the other sign I printed was just fine. Any ideas?
I’m having the same problems. Would love some help, they are so dang cute!!
I’m sorry Jackie. They are all working but some computer systems will have problems printing some of them. Which one do you need and I can send you the file?
I’m sorry you are having a problem. Every computer is different and it may be the file size. It is working fine on my end. I e-mailed you the file. Hopefully that will work! 🙂
Used these last year – will use them again this year. School starts Monday. Grandma is sad that summer fun is almost over.
Thanks Tracey! Yep summer + grandkids is sure fun. 🙂
Hi!
I love your site and have printed some of your free printable … THANK YOU!!
Trying to print the back to school printable for 3rd grade and having problems. Can’t print it from any of my devices. Have attempted at least 6 times. Can you give me some suggestions on what to do?
Thanks in advance!
I am so sorry Gabby! I will e-mail the file to you. I have had a few people have problems with that one. It is fine on my end but may be due to file size that some are having trouble on their computers. I will double check that.
Thank you for making this adorable signs available to us!!! You are amazingly creative!!! I’m wondering though… Do you have a preschool sign that does not say “Back to School”? Tomorrow is my daughter’s very first day at school of any kind and was hoping to figure out an alternative.
Happy day Abbey! Check your email for one I think you can use. 🙂
You’re too kind!!! Thank you!!!!! You took time out of your schedule to give this mama a wonderful gift. Thank you.
Thanks Abbey, I’m glad you got it. Yay!
Such cute signs! I really want to know where you got that”why” tshirt your son was wearing though! It’s perfect for my kindergartener!
Hi Karyn! That darling boy is my grandson and that photo was taken May of 2015. My daughter said she got it from a shop on Instagram called “Mamma Said Tees” Hope that helps! Well… Yay! I just looked it up and here is the link to the t-shirt! https://mama-said-tees.myshopify.com/products/why
Hithere I love these but I cant seem to get it to print! IS there anyway you could send me the PRe-K one please 🙂
Hi Angie! I just sent them. Thanks for visiting inkhappi!
Love these signs but I can’t seem to print them out? Wondering if you could email me the files? If so that would be great…in need of 4th grade, 1st grade, and pre-k (or if possible could it say 4K?) Thanks much. Megan
Hi Megan. There are two that some people have trouble with. Im going to adjust the size on those and see if it helps. I can’t send all the files but I can send a couple. I will email you for more info. Thanks!
Hmm, I am having trouble printing the 1st grade one. Page just comes out blank. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!
Hi Karie! I just emailed you the files. It should print for you this way. Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing your free signs! It is so hard to find any that are truly free and don’t require a special/expensive software to edit or print it. Not all of us have those resources at our fingertips. The sign printed perfectly and looks great!!
Thanks DH! I’m so glad it worked out for you. I love sharing!
great job!!!
These are great! Thank you for sharing your talent with others! My daughter will be starting 1st Grade tomorrow! I downloaded all of them for the years to come.
🙂 Krystal
Yay! I hope your daughter had a good experience. My grandson who is in the photos just started 1st grade!
These are beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks April! I’m glad you appreciate them. 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing your creative signs for the first day of school. I really appreciated it and I am looking forward to using them on Tuesday.
Yay! So glad to hear that Michele! Thanks for your kind words. 🙂
Thank you for these gorgeous signs and the interview. .I love how colourful they are. I have included them in round-up post featured on my blog -https://seasidesundays.com/free-printable-first-day-school-sign/.
Awesome Gemma! This has been a very popular post for me!
love everything…. thank you soooooo much ,
Awww thanks Premila!
Thank you for doing these. I thought my 3rd grader did not want to hold one his year. She decided since little sister had one that she did want one the day before 1st day. You saved me!
Awesome! I’m glad you found them useful. 🙂
Hi Jillene,
I am also having problems printing these out could you pretty please email me the file for 6th, 8th and 2nd?
Sent them Jodie!
Thank you so much for sharing these adorable signs! This is just what I was looking for! My daughter is starting second grade today and I just love the tradition of taking pictures before I drop her off for her first day. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks Ally. I’m so glad these worked for you!
You are so wonderful to help a Gramma out with these BEAUTIFUL pictures, so we can celebrate our granddaughters first and last days of specific grades! They are beautiful and so are you! THANK YOU AGAIN!
These are so perfect and part of the yearly tradition of photos. I’m having trouble accessing the links for the younger levels K-5th due to an image hovering over the link listings. Is there anyway to get these links to a visible place to access please? Sorry to bother you and really appreciate the free printables on this!
I love your first day of school signs!! I am trying to download the kindergarten sign but the picture is overlaping it and wont allow. Is there another way i could get this sign?!
Hi, I cannot get any of the download links to show before 6th grade ?
Adorable and free printable photo prop signs for the first day of school, perfect for capturing memorable back-to-school moments.
What a fantastic collection of ideas for the first day of school! From cute outfit inspirations to fun tips for easing those back-to-school jitters, this post has everything you need to start the year off right!
Thanks so much for sharing!! 🙂
Thank you!
