Five must make back to school ideas

10 August 2022

Whilst it has been fun to have the little ones at home for the summer, it’s also a relief to get them back to school (and give you much-needed time to relax!).

There is so much to consider when the start of a new year comes around. We’ve compiled five must-make personalisations to help you prepare for the new school year.

First day of school sign

The obligatory first day of school photos is not complete without the first day of school sign. Fill out all the details about the new school year so you can look back and remember.

Clothing and bag labels

Nothing is more frustrating than when your child comes home without all their PE kit or the bag they were sent out with. Find their lost items easily by adding labels. You could put your child’s name, teacher or class number so that their lost items make their way back to you.

Personalised pencil case

Get your kid excited about the start of the new year by creating a pencil case that is unique to them and all about everything they love. With over 300,000 images in Design Space, there is something for everyone. You could put iron-on onto a fabric pencil case or add Infusible Ink onto one of our cosmetic bag blanks to create the perfect pencil case.

To-do list

A to-do list is perfect for those who like to be organised with homework and after-school activities. It would also be great for those studying A-level or at university to help them prepare for the new term.

Personalised Notebook

A notebook unique to your child or you if you’re a student is the perfect way to start a new academic year. There are so many images to suit hobbies and interests but we adore this mermaid-themed notebook.
