Back to School Crafts with the Cricut

Get your kid ready for school with these awesome back to school crafts with the Cricut! many of these fun school crafts are also great for teachers and classrooms!

This is my first back to school year for my boys! Technically this is their first year of school (so really it’s just…”to school” season, ha!), but they’ve been in preschool prep at their preschool since the spring. So it really does feel like my first real back to school season as we prepare to start the school year in August.

Today I’ve gathered a bunch of fun back to school crafts and projects that you can make using your Cricut to get your kids ready for the upcoming school year.

And if you’re a teacher, you’ll find all sorts of fun classroom ideas here as well!
