Back to School Ideas by Grade
- Pre-K and kindergarten: Make picture supply labels with the backpack, crayon box, scissors and glue. Kids who cannot read yet will still put things back in the right bin.
- Grades 1 and 2: Build an all about me page with the walking kids at the top and the backpack outline to color. Add counting with crayons using our math clipart.
- Grades 3 to 5: The composition notebook and lined paper look grown-up on journal covers, reading logs and homework charts. Pair them with a stack from the book clipart page.
- Families: Send the supply list with matching pictures, and use the snow day sled on closing notices.
Making Supply Labels That Last
Every file here is 1000 pixels on each side. Printed at 300 dpi, that is crisp up to about 3 inches wide, which is the right size for bin labels and cubby tags. For a large door poster, use the flat color school and keep it under 6 inches so the edges stay neat.
- Place four or six pictures on one page in a table, with a word under each.
- Print on cardstock or full-sheet label paper.
- Laminate the labels or cover them with clear packing tape.
- Stick them on bins with strong double-sided tape, not glue.
