9 sweet signs for the first day of school | Mum's Grapevine

Say cheese little one – it’s time to start school and we’re ramping up the cute factor by adding the most adorable signs to iconic first-day-of-school photos.

As little ‘big’ kids stand in their shiny, new shoes, toting backpacks bigger than they are, parents all over Australia will be snapping photos of their proud school-goer holding the first-day-of-school sign. The best thing is, they can be used year after year, to continue telling their school story.

Here are 9 adorable first-day-of-school signs.
