The start of a new school year can feel like a rush—papers to sign, bags to pack, routines to re-learn. But in the midst of it all, there’s beauty to be found in the quiet moments—

the ones where you slow down, make something with your hands, and look your little one in the eyes to say, “You’ve got this.”

This First Days of School Printable Bundle was made for those in-between moments. The ones filled with excitement, nervous energy, and the courage it takes to begin again.

Each page in this bundle is hand-illustrated with the intention of helping you pause, reflect, and create something meaningful with your kids—something you’ll want to tuck away and remember. With encouraging prompts, playful creativity, and gentle reminders of self-belief, this bundle is more than a set of printables—it’s a keepsake of these fleeting, important days. Made to help you hold tight to the moments you’ll want to remember.

What’s Included:

• Two Portrait Pages: Add your child’s photo and enjoy sweet, illustrated designs with space for affirmations, memories, and adding your own touch of color.
•  School-Themed Tic Tac Toe (two pages): A creative, screen-free game to enjoy during quiet afternoons or lunch breaks. Just print, cut out, and enjoy!
•  Hand-Lettered Inspirational Quote: A printable piece of encouragement to hang, gift, or frame inside a child’s room, in a classroom, or homeschool room.
• Lunch Notes: For those thoughtful messages to tuck into backpacks and remind them they are seen and loved.
• DIY Bookmarks: A simple project that turns everyday reading into a meaningful, creative moment.

Each page is designed by Coley in her signature soft and whimsical style—meant to feel beautiful, nostalgic, and completely one-of-a-kind.
