Back to School Guide – Free Downloads

While we’re all soaking up the sun and having fun with the kiddos out of school, it’s hard to believe that school will be back in session in a few short weeks. Preparing for back to school can feel overwhelming, but this guide will help you make a seamless transition this fall.

get excited for back to school

Back to school is an exciting time! Having the right gear can prepare your children and foster an enthusiasm for school. Part of the excitement for the new school year is having customized gear. Whether your child is just starting school or is a seasoned preteen, creating a custom journal is a fun way to be prepared for the new school year with their own cool school supplies. We recommend choosing a favorite movie or book character, a coloring page cover for your child to fill in, or a design that matches the aesthetic your preteen wants to express. Take it a step further and create matching stickers that your child can use to decorate their binders and folders, or share with a friend. Don’t forget to make a custom bookmark! Having a cool bookmark can make reading for school less of a chore and a lot more fun. Customizing your gear is easier than ever with this Canva tutorial.

It’s always surprising to see how much change can happen between the first and last day of school! Here are a few back to school photoshoot tips to help take the best school photos this year. In addition to photographing your family before and after the school year, we recommend interviewing your child and recording how their answers change from year to year. Not sure what to ask?

Build Confidence

Starting the new school year can be a challenging transition for some kids. It can be a new and anxious experience. Help build confidence for your kids through positive affirmations. This can be a fun, new tradition for your preteen or for the whole family! These affirmation cards are a good resource for kids to visually see and easily repeat to themselves before school. Try placing them around the house where your family can see it daily. To help the good feelings last all day long, share a little love note that your child can read while at school. It can be a wonderful reminder to your young child or preteen that they are bright and capable. These free love note printables are easy to place in a backpack or lunchbox.  Try mixing it up and share these free joke printables with your little as an adorable surprise! 

Have your own affirmations or inside jokes that are unique to your family? Create your own mini prints ! Customized prints with positive, familiar phrases can be meaningful messages that add an extra boost of confidence for your kids. 

Order in Time for back to school

There is always so much to do before school starts. Don’t worry, there is still plenty of time to complete it all! We recommend downloading these free printables and ordering prints early.
