Back to School Photo Props for Homeschoolers

Print out these free Back to School Photo Props to use when taking pictures of your Homeschool kids at the beginning of the school year. Comes in four different styles for all grades, kindergarten to 12th grade.

First day of school photos are fun, but sometimes when you homeschool year-round, the first day can blend into other days, and you don’t get those cute “First Day of ___th Grade” photos taken.

These ready-to-use “Back to School” Photo Prop printables will also save the day when you forgot to plan ahead to get those individualized ones from your favorite Etsy seller.

Whether you are all ready for school to start again or if you are more of a Type B personality and forgot to take those cute pictures on your first day, here are some cute printables for you to use with your “Back to School” and “First Day” pictures.

There are four different versions of the “Back to School” photo props printable with different backgrounds, images, and wording.

The undated Back to School printables come in two different main styles. One has some pink lettering with a heart and four-colored rainbow and the other has some blue lettering with crayons and heart post it note. There’s a line at the bottom of each to write the student’s name and the year. These work for either the first day of school, or a day near the beginning of the school year. The images on these printables are in an acrylic school paint style.

There’s also a version with the words “First Day of School” with each grade level that has an apple, a pencil, and a four-color rainbow in an acrylic school paint style.

Plus there is an undated “Random Day Near the Beginning of (__th) Grade” with watercolor school images just in case you didn’t grab a photo of your kids on the very first day of your homeschool year. (Like maybe happens to me almost every year! LOL)

There are also three printable photo props with the words “1st Day of High School” in three different styles.

NOTE: These Back to School printables have been updated for 2026 with undated printables
