Capture that proud first-day smile with our reusable First Day of School Board. Designed to record your child’s first day of daycare, Kindy, pre-primary or school, it features writable sections for their year level, dream job, age, height and date.

Made from sturdy, high-quality timber with a beautiful Rock Maple finish, this keepsake board can be wiped clean and reused year after year—or passed down between siblings. Each board is designed, laser cut, etched and carefully hand sanded in our Western Australian workshop.

This listing is for the single-sided “My First Day” board only. You may prefer or double sided board if you would like My Last Day on the reverse.

How It Works

Write your child’s details in the black sections using a suitable chalkboard marker. Take your special first-day photo, then carefully wipe the writing away so the board is ready to use again the following year.

Chalkboard markers can vary, so please complete a small spot test before filling in the board. Follow the marker manufacturer’s cleaning instructions and avoid leaving the writing on for extended periods.
