Cute First Day Boards. I love the size because they are not overly big and perfect for my littles to hold. Very sturdy and will be used for many years!

Product Description +

The first-day photo happens once a year, and it always sneaks up on you.

The Novakoen First & Last Day Chalkboard Sign is ready when it does. Write in the grade, the teacher's name, the age, and this year's answer to what they want to be when they grow up. Add the pencil flag, hand it to your kid, and take the picture before the bus comes.

When the school year ends, flip the board over. The last-day side is already laid out and waiting. Same porch, same kid, nine months taller.

Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and it's blank again for next fall. One board, every grade, all the way through.

Feature product image

First day on one side, last day on the other

Flip the board in May and take the same photo you took in September. Two milestones, one keepsake, no second purchase.

Write it, wipe it, use it again next year

The smooth black surface erases clean with a damp cloth, so the same board follows your child from preschool through elementary school.

Sized for small hands

Big enough to read in the photo, light enough for a 4-year-old to hold steady on the front porch at 7 a.m. Comes ready to use. Includes a white chalk marker and a pencil flag topper, so there's nothing to hunt for the night before school starts.

Fill-in prompts do the thinking for you

Blanks for grade, teacher, age, and what they want to be when they grow up turn a photo into a record of who they were that year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the chalk marker wipe off, or does it smudge in photos? +

The white chalk marker dries on the surface and won't smear from normal handling during a photo session. When you're ready to change it, wipe with a damp cloth. Let it dry fully before writing again.

Can I really reuse it next year, or does the writing stain? +

It's built to be reused. Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth after each use rather than letting the writing sit for months, and the surface stays dark and even. If a faint ghost line appears, a second pass with warm water clears it.

How big is it in a photo? +

10 x 14 inches. Held at chest height by a preschooler, it fills most of the frame without hiding their face. Big enough to read the writing in a phone photo posted to Instagram.

Is it too heavy for a 3 or 4 year old to hold? +

No. It's light enough for a small child to hold on their own for the length of a photo, though the youngest kids usually do best holding it with two hands or resting the bottom edge on their lap.

What's actually printed on each side? +

One side is set up for the first day of school, the other for the last day.

How do I place my order? +

To place an order, simply browse our products, add items to your cart, and proceed to checkout. You can review your order before finalizing your purchase.

Do I have to use the included marker, or can I use regular chalk? +

Use a liquid chalk marker, like the white one included. Traditional stick chalk works on some surfaces but writes thinner and rubs off more easily during handling.

Does it stand on its own, or does someone have to hold it? +

It's designed to be held. No stand included.

Is this only for preschool and kindergarten? +

No. The fill-in format works for any grade, which is the point of a reusable board — the same sign can cover preschool through fifth grade and beyond.

Does it come assembled? +

Yes. Open the box, write on it, take the photo.

Will it survive being carried outside in the rain or dropped on the porch? +

It handles normal outdoor use during a photo session. It isn't waterproof and shouldn't be stored outdoors or left in direct sun for long stretches.
