Gap teeth, a fresh buzz cut and a lunchbox held up like a trophy.
This personalized second grade kid shirt stacks SECOND GRADE four times in tall white letters, places your child’s photo in front of the stack and writes his first name in white script across the bottom corner.
It’s a simple photo shirt gift, and it’s also the school memory you’ll fold into a keepsake box once he outgrows it.
Who it’s for
It’s usually a parent getting ready for the first bell, with a second grader who just lost a front tooth and is very proud of a new lunchbox. They want the drop-off photo to capture this exact version of him.
A photo with whatever he’s proud of right now, the new backpack or the dinosaur lunch kit, makes the drop-off picture.
Since she can’t be at drop-off, mailing a surprise with his own photo puts her in the moment.
If she always sends the first day of school outfit, this year it comes with his name in script.
When a big sister gets her shirt, a little brother usually asks for his own, and youth sizes start at XS.
An adult tee with the same photo means the parent in the drop-off picture matches the kid.
About the sample photo
A boy with a buzz cut grins wide enough to show the gap in his teeth while holding up a rocket ship lunchbox. That lunchbox might be our favorite detail in the whole layout.
For your own custom picture tee, send a photo with whatever your kid is proud of right now: the new backpack, a dinosaur lunch kit, the library book he refuses to return.
We remove the background and print it in black and white for a retro yearbook feel.
Pick a waist-up or head-and-shoulders photo in regular clothes. Pool, bath and leotard shots of children aren’t printed.
How do you personalize it?
- Choose the garment and size. Kids typically take the youth tee.
- Select a shirt color. The white lettering stays the same.
- Upload his photo. The boy with the rocket lunchbox is a sample and gets replaced by your child.
- Type his first name. A capital first letter with the rest lowercase looks best in script. Finished example: Liam.
Catch the gap-toothed second grade year on a shirt
- Second graders change so fast that last year’s photos already look different
- First-day outfits get outgrown before winter break
- Grandparents far away miss drop-off and only see a quick text
Parents want to remember the gap-toothed year before it’s gone. SECOND GRADE stacks four times in tall white letters behind his black and white cutout, lunchbox up like a trophy, with his first name in white script across the bottom corner.

Second grade kid shirt FAQ
Can I order it for my daughter?
Yes. Any child’s photo and first name work on this layout.
Can you add his last name?
It’s a one-line kids name shirt, so the script holds his first name only.
Could his favorite cartoon hero stand next to him?
No. Cartoon heroes, game characters, logos and brands can’t be printed, and neither can famous people of any kind, YouTubers and rappers included. Use a photo of your own kid. Orders asking for those are canceled, with the payment refunded.
More grade-level designs are in school shirts, and our kids photo shirts cover birthdays and more.
