Back to School About Me Backpack Craft and Writing

Celebrate back to school with this First Day Backpack Craft! This craft is a fun way to kick of the school year with your pre-k, TK, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade learners. Engage your early learners on the very first day by letting them complete an age-appropriate writing page and design a backpack cover that reflects their unique personalities.

Students will write their name, age, something they want to learn, and draw a self portrait. Then, students can decorate a backpack cover, and color (if completing the B&W templates). When finished with both the writing page and cover, the cover can be stapled or glued as shown on the writing page template.

This resource includes:

• Cover Backpack Templates for Pre-k, TK, Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade
• 2 About Me Writing Templates (primary writing lines and regular lines)
• Patches/Keychains- Half Sheet in B&W (with and without cut lines)
