Best first day of school boards for those precious photos

Available in black and pink, this board is perfect for little unicorn fans and has plenty of space to write their name; what year they're going into; the date; how old they are; who their teacher will be; what their favourite colour is and what they love doing. Just grab yourself some liquid markers and get writing! onbe mum happy with her order said: "I was a slight bit sceptical when buying this but once I got it arrived it was perfect. It’s thicker than cardboard and has a nice gloss finish. I bought a chalk marker from Walmart and it worked perfectly! It wipes off so easily and it's such a great price!"

Made from high-quality 350 gsm cardstock and coated in PET film, these boards are both wipeable and reusable. They're waterproof too and there are three layers, so they shouldn't tear easily. We also love that there's one to celebrate the last day of school as well. One parent impressed with its sturdiness said: "These are really lovely came in a pack of 2. It's strong cardboard rather than chalkboard slate style. They are clear and easy to read when your child holds them for a picture."

If you want your sign to arrive sooner so you won't forget to order it, or you want to take the photos before the big day (as that first morning could be hectic), this downloadable sign is the one to go for. Bear in mind that you will have to print it yourself, or edit it into a photo.

For something a little more generic, how about this letter board? It comes with 690 interchangeable letters, numbers, symbols and punctuation, as well as a bag to store all of them in. Once you've taken the photo you can re-use it to create a stylish homeware piece. A happy buyer said: "If you have patience it’s great! The board once it was done looked fab, the letters, numbers and symbols came on a plastic sheet you needed to snap off to use, which did not snap, I had to get scissors to cut them, which then left on all my letters an excess nub, so as time-consuming and fiddly as it was to take all the letters off I needed, I then had to cut off the extra pieces on the letters, which wasn’t as easy as it sounds."

This wooden board is beautifully designed to your liking and has handles so that your little one can hold it comfortably. Emma, a reviewer said: "The quality of this is stunning and I can’t wait to capture a snap of my little girl off to big school (and each year after!) in September. The quality of the packaging was great too, properly set inside a card surround to stop it from rattling about. Highly recommend!". Also, this amazing board is simple, meaning all your little one needs to do is simply add their name and it will be laser cut with precision. Don't forget to add a chalk pen to your order if you don't have one!

Short and sweet, this sign can be reused for years to come to capture those all-important memories. It has been laser cut but extra details have been added by hand, like the painting of their name (which you can choose the colour of), and you can use it for all sorts of clubs and events too.
Reviewer Michelle Smith wrote**:** "An absolutely beautiful product. We shall use this for years to come. We chose this one as we felt it has multiple uses - not just for school, but for other 1st days, such as rainbows, etc."

We love the rustic feel to this board and it gives off plenty of back-to-school vibes with the little illustrations. It's made from eco-friendly materials and can be written on with chalk. It also helps kids understand what to expect from their classes, subjects, and daily routines.

Treat your little ones to something sweet to celebrate the beginning of term with this giftable board. It's A3-sized and has multiple personalisation bits to fill out. You can also choose whether you want the chocolate sent to you, or if you're happy to buy your own. And, candy on school boards can be a fun and effective tool in educational settings for several reasons: as part of interactive and educational games or activities.
