Chalkboard signs are the perfect way to capture that First Day of School! This chalkboard sign is made with Cricut Premium Vinyl! It is a fun prop for your child to hold or have sat by them in a picture for the first day of school.
I know first grade can be exciting, overwhelming, and scary. Help make the first day of school extra fun with this My First Day of First Grade sign. Now, you can always change up the grade to fit your child's age. This is also perfect for boys or girls, I offer two different color options.
Chalkboard Signs
The fun questions are a great way to capture exactly who your child is that year. They are so fun to add into a photo album and flip through so you can look back and see what your child was loving that year. Cricut Maker is the ultimate easy personalization tool for all things back to school!
How Do You Fill Out Information On The First Day Of School Sign
Simply use chalk or even a chalkboard pen (although these are a little harder to remove) if you want. Then you can wipe away what you wrote, and do another one. Great for if you have multiple kids. You can reuse this Vinyl Back to School Chalk Board Sign over and over again.
How Do You Assemble This First Day of School Sign
You start by creating the chalkboard base using Cricut chalkboard vinyl. I used Cricut corrugated cardboard and then cut and applied chalkboard vinyl. Then once I got that set-out, I reached for the colored vinyl that I used to create the design for the school sign.
I share all the directions below to guide you through the whole process. This is a rather simple Cricut project. Just a few simple steps and you have a re-useable chalkboard sign for back to school.
