Believe it or not it’s almost time for the kids to go back to school. I know that some places (ahem, Tennessee) have already gone back to school. But here we start after Labor Day.
I’ve already done all our back to school shopping. I hate shopping but I hate waiting to the last minute even more so I bought Alex’s new clothes, shoes and required school supplies. Alex is most excited about the shoes – she has a thing for shoes – ugh. She’s also really excited that 2 of her best friends are going to be in the same class. At her school there are 3-4 classes for each grade.
So, I went out a search for school type WordPress themes and here are 15 of the best ones.

The first one is cute!
I can’t believe she already likes shoes. :)

Hi Vered – When she was three it was purses, which she called pockey-books. Ever since it has been shoes. :-)
Madhur Kapoor says
Another good find Kim. The Kindergarden theme looks kinda cute

I like Note 1.0. It looks like one I would use for my personal blog.

Hi Carla – I’m not overly fond of that one but I think it could work for some sites.
Andrea_R says
Oooo, I am bookmarking this all over the place. It is a nice collection for education based WPMU sites, and the College one in particular will be great when I finally set up a blog for my oldest daughter.
Yeah, she starts college in a couple weeks and it’ll be her first time ever in a classroom. :D

Kim Woodbridge says
Hi Andrea – Great! I’m glad you like it.
First time in a classroom should be quite a shock :-)
Andrea_R says
Yeah, it’s an artsy fartsy college, so it’ll be more laid-back, but it will be strange & new (and probably amusing).
She’s watched a lot of highschool teen drama series and movies, so it should be just like that, right? Right? ;P

Kim Woodbridge says
lol – exactly like the movies and tv shows ;-)
Jim says
I was always so intimidated when school was ready to start.
I love emc2’s effeminate Einstein!
Kim Woodbridge says
Hi Jim – I was a dork – I loved the first day of school even though I was a little nervous about it. Alex is starting to get excited for 2nd grade.

Kim,
I would just bet it has got to be a lot of fun researching these themes. Several of these look fantastic. I always look at the new themes you suggest and I think, Ok, if I landed on this design, would I want to stay and poke around a bit? A lot of this set fit that criteria quite nicely.

Hi George – Thanks! It’s fun and it’s tedious. Sometimes I find really horrible themes.
Villa is not off to a very good start – I wasn’t able to see the match but they lost to Wigan :(
Rick Castellini says
Some extremely nice themes! Darn it, I HAVE to stop looking at themes. Thanks for the roundup!

Rick – Stay away from the themes ;-)
Rick Castellini says
Ha, ha…Just giving you a hard time Kim…I’m actually pretty content with my theme right now! Believe it or not.
