10 Instagram

While we didn’t have first day of school signs back in our day, we’re surprised it took us so long to figure out how great they are. Not only do they add a really cute element to your back-to-school photo ops, but they also help us keep our pictures straight (if you’ve gotten your pictures mixed up, you’re not the only one). Plus, who doesn’t love a good Instagram and Tinybeans moment? Additionally, with the popularity of these boards, you can easily snag one without having to rely too heavily on your DIY skills.

We definitely want to make sure that our kiddos’ privacy is protected, though. As this viral TikTok video points out, there’s a lot of information first day of school signs include. Of course, we all want to share our darling littles on their big day. But we’re making sure we keep the info on our signs limited. We also suggest double-checking your social media privacy settings. Or, keep using your Tinybeans app to safely and privately share your first day of school memories. These signs are perfect for them.
