As the beginning of the school year approaches, kids may feel sadness that the summer is over, and many parents will feel happiness for the same reason. Whatever they're feeling, Animated Back to School eCards are a great way to celebrate (or soothe) any first day feeling that your loved ones may be feeling.

• Kids are proud of their new clothes and shiny new school supplies on the first day. Penguin Back to School finds our eager penguin ready to tackle his first day. Brand new backpack, earbuds and a "Can do!" attitude. This South Pole cutie is a sweet way to send well wishes, and encouragement to your favorite school aged kid!

• The first day of school is the scourge of children everywhere. The poor kid in our Back to School March ecard is not looking forward to his first day. His mom, on the other hand, is delighted to have the little champ back in school. She gets her house back, and let's not even talk about the time she'll save cleaning up messes all day long!

• Some kids are excited about heading back to school but could use an extra dose of confidence. Back to School ecard focuses on a worried piggy about to board the bus for his first day of school. His mom gives him a little package that goes a long way towards making this little piggy's wolf-filled bus ride and much more pleasant experience!

• No matter how reluctant, summer must always come to an end, and the first day of school is inevitable and unavoidable. Back to School Chase e card proves this point, when an unsuspecting beach goer tries to relax, a pack of school books stalks, waiting to pounce.

Take the sting out of first day jitters for kids and join in the celebration for adults with a fun Animated Back to School ecard from Doozy!
