Back To School Welcome Cards for Kids – Fun First Day Welcome Card Printables

The Back To School Welcome Cards for Kids are the perfect way to start the new school year with warmth and creativity. Designed for Elementary School children, these cards are ideal for Kindergarten (K), 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, and 5th Grade students across classrooms in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Children can choose from themed cards such as Animal Adventures, Sweet Treats, Outdoor Fun, Space & Tech, and Growth Mindset. Each card carries a positive, welcoming message like “Hop Into School” or “Let’s Grow Your Brain,” giving kids an exciting and supportive start to their academic journey. Teachers can use the cards in a variety of ways—mail them out before school begins, place them on students’ desks as surprises, display them on a “Welcome Wall,” or use them during open house events. The fun doesn’t stop there! Students can participate in extension activities like writing prompts, scavenger hunts, or creating their own card designs for future classmates.
