Do you take  first day of school photos?  Today is the first day of school! Look at my second grader.

A DIY message bubble is a perfect way for kids to show off what grade they are in!

I needed a  simple and quick way to make these message bubbles for our first day of school photo!  So I  used Elmers’s foam sheets, X-ACTO Knife, and chalk board paint. To make it even easier for you I  have a printable message bubble template.

Cut out the template, trace around it on the foam sheet and cut with an x-acto knife. I can’t say enough good about the X-ACTO Self Healing Mat (believe me it keeps you from a big mishap).

Cut out the entire message bubble.

Give the foam  message bubble a couple of coats of chalk board paint.

Once completely dry write your message on the bubble and take your photos!  These speech bubbles are a fun way to document special occasions and give photos personality!

  2. I want to make a cute chalk board for my kitchen wall would foam board work ok or should I use another heavier material? Thanks!

  3. Awww…little Miss B will be a 2nd Grader?! She’s so cute! I hope she has a great year. Thanks for the shout out. I love how small yours is…and light weight too! Even better!

  4. I love this! What a cute idea and beautiful child. Enjoy every minute, because next thing you know she will be grown. My “baby” is 35! We took photos every year on the first day of school and even the first day of college. With that in mind she e-mailed me a “first day of school” photo this morning from HER classroom where she is a High School Special Education teacher! She entitled it “baby back to school” knowing it would make me tear up.

  5. Your daughter is adorable and great idea. Where is the link for the bubble template that you said you had for us? Maybe I just overlooked it. This is a great idea!!!

  6. Your daughter is adorable! I’m a 2nd grade teacher, and I love those “1st day” smiles!

  7. I love the message bubble idea! I don’t have any kids in school, but maybe I could write things on it I think my dog is thinking… 😉
