First Day of School Printables

August 12, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

My daughter has aged out of back to school printables, but if you have a little one and want to record some of their favorite things on the occasion of the first day of school, these printable coloring pages are a quick and easy way to do it.

Crayola has a super simple first day coloring page that includes grade, height, favorite color, teacher name and what they want to be when they grow up.

Paper Trail Designs has a set of printables that say first day of whatever grade the child is starting. They can fill in name, age, school, teacher and what they want to be when they grow up.

Miss Helen’s Hippos on Teachers Pay Teachers has a free downloadable first day printable that includes three pages for kids to fill in with drawings and words about their school, teacher, friends, backpack and what they look like on the first day.

Mrs. Merry has an electronic file you can personalize for your own child or all the kids in your classroom if you do first day pictures at school. You can add the child’s name, grade, school or teacher, favorite color, book and food and what they want to be when they grow up.

Skip to My Lou has the first day printable pictured above, which includes space to draw themselves and write about their teacher, a new friend, even something they didn’t love about their lunch! Such a fun way to capture some real memories from the big day.

And if you like a sign for photos, check out my super easy chalkboard sign DIY over on my blog. We’ll see if my seventh grader will still take photos with it this year!

Pumpkin Sensory Activities

When my daughter was younger, she loved to play with the insides of the pumpkin when it was time to carve the jack o’lantern. In the years since she’s decided the inside of a pumpkin smells bad, but playing with pumpkin guts is a classic sensory activity that kids of all ages generally love.

Here are some more fun and easy pumpkin sensory activities to do at home or in the classroom, with real pumpkins or just pumpkin smells and colors.

Let’s start with a collection of pumpkin sensory activities using real pumpkins from Everyday Chaos and Calm. From pumpkin washing to hammering to painting, there are lots of fun ideas here (and this delves into pumpkin STEM activities as well).

If you have a kid who likes to play with pumpkin guts, you can take the slimy sensory factor up even further by making pumpkin slime that includes pumpkin guts. You can even mix it up in a pumpkin! Get the recipe from Little Bins for Little Hands.

If you’d rather have a slime that’s not quite so slimy, you can try this pumpkin spice slime from Sunshine Whispers.

How about pumpkin spice playdough? (I made some of this years ago when my daughter was in her playdough phase, and ti smells so good!) Another recipe is from Natural Beach Living, and this is a sensory activity you can use throughout the fall all the way through Thanksgiving.

And while we’re on the classic sensory substances, why not make some pumpkin scented moon sand, too? This recipe is made with pumpkin puree so it’s actually taste safe for those kiddos who always put everything in their mouths. You can get the recipe from Parenting Chaos.

For a different kind of sensory experience, try this pumpkin sensory matching activity from I Can Teach My Child. Just load fun things into orange balloons and see if kids can touch their way to matches. Or just do different sensory balloons for the classroom without the matching activity.
