Every year, we start the school year with the same hopes for our daughters… for it to be the best year yet. This year is a little bit different though. The girls won’t be going to physical school. We didn’t have to purchase a cart’s full of supplies or uniforms. We don’t have to worry about waking up hours before school starts and driving them to three different schools, or picking them up for that matter. So this year, while everything is totally different, I wanted to make sure I brought a little normalcy to their days. I knew the best way to do that, was to pull out my Cricut Joy and create a little magic. I thought I’d share all of the great Cricut, back to school ideas I found.
Back to School Chalkboard Sign Photo Prop
This adorable chalkboard sign photo prop idea from Mommyhood Life is perfect not only for this year, but for years to come. I love the idea of decorating a chalkboard that can be wiped clean and changed every year!
Tissue Boxes
I am loving this cute tissue box idea from But First, Joy. They are great for your kids room, for your homeschool space or even as a teacher gift!
Face Masks and Essentials Bag
If your kids are going to school in person, why not send them back safely and in style? This adorable face mask and essentials bag idea from Giggles Galore are perfect!
Customized Backpack
My girls want a new backpack every single year. But if I can squeeze two years out of them, it’s a win. So I love this customized backpack idea from Creative Ramblings! I can customize last year’s backpack and it gives them a totally different look!
First Day of School Pennant Flags
We tend to print out a paper every year and snap a first day of school pic. But this year, we wanted something different. I love this first day of school pennant flags idea from At Home with Ashley!
Back to School Teacher Gifts
Even if your kids are learning virtually, we all know how hard their teachers are working to make this year amazing for our kids. I’m already brainstorming cute appreciate gift options and these teacher gifts idea from Play Party Plan is perfect!
Planner Stickers
Obsessed with this planner stickers idea from Tastefully Frugal! My girls love stickers and I love that these planner stickers can help keep them organized!
Back to School T-Shirt
Obsessed with this adorable back to school t-shirt idea from Our Thrifty Ideas! Is there a better way to describe this year than Back to School-ish?
Homeschool Room Decor Ideas
One thing I’m super excited about is creating a beautiful space for the girls to do their school work during the day. Loving these homeschool room decor ideas from The Soccer Mom Blog!
