5 Great Preschool Graduation Gift Ideas

Preschool Graduation

What to get your Preschool Graduate!  Recently, I have had people asking me what an appropriate gift is for a Preschool Graduate. As long as the gift is age appropriate, there really isn't a wrong gift to give them.  They are young and who doesn't love getting a gift! The question is, do you want to give a keepsake gift, a useable gift, or toys and candy?  It depends on your style.  The Preschool Graduate will enjoy them all!
Our first grandchild was born in 2010. The last 5 years have flown by fast! Lucky me, I get to keep him while Mom & Dad are working. I also have had the pleasure of taking him to Preschool and picking him up on most days. It is fun to watch him go in the door at Preschool with confidence that he has it all under control! If only life was always that easy! It's more fun to see his face light up when I pick him up.  He comes out the door all excited about what he has learned that day.  I love to hear him sing his new songs and especially when his little brother tries to sing with him. I can't believe he is almost finished with Preschool and ready to start Kindergarten in the fall!
We brought his Cap & Gown home this week.  He was so excited to try it on!  I made him wait until his Mom got here, so that she could see him put it on for the first time.  He was adorable and the smile on his face showed just how excited he was! His Dad went to the same Preschool that he goes to and wore the same Cap & Gowns!  I am anxious to put their pictures side by side!  I know he will think that is awesome! He thinks his Dad is pretty special. We didn't tell him that he gets to keep the Tassel.  I know he is going to love that!  I am sure he will hang it on his Graduation Picture.  He is so excited about Graduation. I thought his 5th birthday was hard, but now we are going to Preschool Graduation and Kindergarten is a reality!
Do you have someone graduating from Preschool? If you do, you may be asking yourself what would be an appropriate Preschool Graduation Gift. Check these out:
5 Great Preschool Graduation Gift Ideas:
1) Photo Book of Preschool Days -  If you choose to make this gift, you will need to gather photos of the child.  You can make the book Scrapbook style or Digital.  There are many online sites that let you create and print your book. Have fun making this! These memories will be cherished forever!
2) A Book about Kindergarten - There are several books available about Kindergarten. Reading about Kindergarten may ease any anxieties they have about going to school. It may also get them excited about going to Kindergarten! Here are a couple of suggestions:  On The Way to Kindergarten by Virginia Kroll and Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten by Joseph Slate
3) Picture Frame for their Graduation Photo - There are several Graduation 2015 photo frames available.  I found one for Bronx that says Preschool Graduation 2015.  Besides Photo Frames, you can find Graduation Memorabilia everywhere. I saw an Autograph Graduation Dog that would be fun to have their classmates sign.  Imagine how their signatures will change from Preschool to High School Graduation!  It will be fun to see how many of them graduate High School together.
4) Backpack for Kindergarten - Most Kindergarteners will need a backpack.  Stephen Joseph backpacks are perfect for Kindergarteners.  Check them out at www.thecrazydazy.com.  There are numerous designs to pick from.  Pick out a matching Lunch Box too!  Make these gifts extra special by having them personalized!  They will be so excited about starting Kindergarten to show off their new Personalized stuff!

5) Outdoor games - Yard Bowling, Sprinklers, Slip N Slide, Foam Airplanes, Sandbox Toys, or anything that encourages them to get outside and enjoy summer. Kids love to play!  Summer will fly by quickly and it will be time to start Kindergarten.  Help them enjoy their summer vacation!
Enjoy Preschool Graduation! Take lots of pictures! The memories you are making are so special! Make your Graduate feel special and remember they will love getting their Graduation gifts!
Take time this summer to really enjoy your kids! They grow up too fast!
