10 Ideas to Make the First Day of School Special

Today I’ve rounded up a perfect bunch of ideas to make the first day of school extra special for young children.  We’re still enjoying summer break, but before we know it, August 13th will roll around and school will be in session once again for my daughter.  She’ll be a big second grader this time!

The first day of school is always a whirlwind for kids.  They experience such a mix of emotions…excitement, nervousness, fear, anticipation, etc.  Now that I have a child in school, I tend to feel the same things on her behalf.  I worry if she’ll make good friends and like her teacher.  Yet I’m so happy that she gets to experience new things and learn.

To help put my daughter at ease and to make the day really memorable, we’ve started some fun traditions that she really looks forward to and enjoys.
Without further ado, here are some great first-day-of-school ideas from around the Web, some of which we do at our house, and a few more that I want to start this year!

    So cute! The day my toddler has her first day of school will be bittersweet. I might have to try a few of these to make it not so sad. :)
