Free Printable First Day of School Flags – Pencil
Here’s a set of free printable First Day of School flags to photograph and document your little ones (and not so little ones) first day of school each year. I’ve previously shared some more minimalist first-day-of-school signs and black & white back-to-school flags but this year I decided to share a more colorful one by creating these free printable back-to-school pencil flags.
I also created matching Last day of school flags with this same cute pencil design! Make sure to check them out to get matching photos for the first and last days of school!

I like printing this type of project on Cardstock Paper: I use Neenah Bright White Premium Cardstock on Amazon, because it’s thick (65lb), smooth and inexpensive. But even regular copy paper can do.
I’ve opted for a cute pencil design that is both gender-neutral and fun. I hope you like it!
