Celebrate the milestone of starting first grade with a tee that’s as fun and energetic as the classroom! This shirt is the perfect way for teachers, parents, and students to show their excitement for a new year of learning and discovery.
The Story Behind the Design
We wanted to capture the creative chaos and pure joy of a first-grade classroom. The design features bold "1ST GRADE" text in a playful, hand-drawn doodle style. The large number "1" is cleverly filled with repeating "first" typography, while classic school icons—like apples, pencils, globes, and lightbulbs—are scattered around, symbolizing all the bright ideas and new adventures to come. Set against a solid black background, the white line art pops, making it a standout piece for any back-to-school outfit.
- Pure Comfort for Busy Days: Made with 100% U.S. cotton, this tee offers incredible softness and breathability, keeping you comfortable from morning bell to afternoon pickup.
- Vibrant, Lasting Graphics: Our soft cotton technology creates a smoother surface, allowing the detailed, doodle-style print to look sharper and last longer.
- Built for Durability: Featuring a classic rib collar and taped neck and shoulders, this shirt is designed to withstand the rigors of the school year and countless washes.

- Machine wash cold, inside-out, with like colors.

What size should I get?
This is a classic fit unisex shirt, so it offers a comfortable, relaxed feel. We recommend checking our size chart and comparing the measurements to a favorite tee you already own for the perfect fit.
How does the fabric feel?
It’s made from 100% U.S. cotton, which is known for being incredibly soft and breathable. It’s a medium-weight fabric that feels substantial yet comfortable enough for all-day wear.
Will the white print fade or crack after washing?
