🎨✏️ A larger-than-life watercolor palette AND a pool noodle turned into a giant paintbrush?! Because first-day-of-school photos deserve to be a little EXTRA! 📚🍎

We made these oversized back-to-school photo props, and I can’t get over how cute they turned out! They’re super budget-friendly, easy to make, and such a fun project to do with your little one to get them excited about heading back to school. 🥹❤️

Here’s what you need:
🥰 Foam board
🥰 Paper plates — mine are from the dollar store!
🥰 Paint
🥰 Hot glue or tape
🥰 Pool noodle
🥰 Craft paper

The paper plates become the colorful watercolor paints, and that pool noodle? The cutest GIANT paintbrush! 🎨

Such a fun way to add a little creativity to those first-day-of-school photos—and I love that the props themselves become part of the memory. 📸✨

Budget-friendly, easy and absolutely adorable! Who’s ready for the first day?! 📚✏️
