Cartoon Worm Waving by Back to School Chalkboard

A cheerful cartoon worm peeks up from the bottom left corner of a big chalkboard, waving one hand while holding a book in the other. He wears round glasses, a bow tie, and has a wide open smile with a little antenna-like curl on top of his head. The chalkboard behind him has the words BACK TO SCHOOL! written in thick, bold letters. A stick of chalk and an eraser sit on the chalk tray at the bottom. The large letters and open spaces are easy to color, so younger kids can fill them in without much trouble. Try coloring the board dark green or black and leaving the letters white or yellow so they look like real chalk. This printable page also works well as a first day of class welcome activity, a bulletin board decoration, or a quiet warm-up while students settle in.
