School Banner Above a Pile of Pencils, Balloons and Book

A wide banner with the word SCHOOL in outlined block letters stretches across the middle of this picture. Behind it, a bunch of school supplies stand upright, including several sharpened pencils, a marker with a cap band, and what looks like a mug holding more pencils. Seven oval balloons on straight strings rise up between and behind the supplies. At the bottom, a thick closed book lies on its side with the page edges shown as lines, and a big rubber eraser rests against its front corner. The banner ends curl into little folded tails on both sides. The outlined letters are roomy enough for patterns, so kids could fill each one with a different design, like stripes, dots, or zigzags. This free printable also works well as a first-day activity, since children can color each pencil a different shade and talk about what they like to use in class.
