Best Gift For Kindergarten Graduation
1. Books
Build your kindergartener's library even more with some fun new books. This will help them want to read over the summer.
2. Stuffed Animal
This line of stuffed animals is fantastic. The animals are just the right size and they are machine washable.
Your kiddo will love snuggling up with it to read a good book or sleep at night.
3. Snacks
If your kiddo is anything like mine, snacks are a must.
Amazon has easy snack boxes, some of which are pretty healthy!
4. T-Shirt
This t-shirt is great for that end of the school year photo I know you want to take of your kiddo.
5. Picture Frame
Your kiddo will love looking at this colorful picture frame and remember kindergarten graduation.
You will love it too, seeing how much your kiddo will change from this moment. So heartwarming!
6. Swim Gear
With kindergarten graduation also comes summer so you have to consider a beach basket. I know your kiddo has grown since last summer and these items are just what you need.
7. Water Bottle
Get a new water bottle to help keep your kiddo hydrated over the hot summer months.
Hydro Flask has great water bottles that can be used for many years.
Stanley water bottles are good too.
If you want to add a little fun to this fairly neutral water bottle, think water bottle stickers. Kids love them and they can be removed with ease.
8. Coloring Basket
I bet your kiddo loves to color. Put together a fun coloring gift basket.
These coloring books are so good.
The paper is a bit thicker which makes it great for markers and to hang up.
Also, try these Crayola colors. Crayola is the only brand I recommend. And believe me, I have tried so many others only to be disappointed.
9. Light Up Tracing Pad
If you are bursting with coloring supplies, you should check this light-up tracing pad out.
It makes drawing so much fun. Best of all, it is easy to take with you anywhere.
10. Boogie Board
If you want something a little smaller than the light-up tracing pad, check out this Boogie Board. I highly recommend getting one or a few of these.
You will be amazed how much it gets used.
It is perfect for drawing, using to help with homework, scrap paper to make lists, and more.
11. Rainbow Scratch Art
You know this fun paper will get used, yep, all of it!
I love it when my kids ask if I want to draw on it with them.
12. Activity Books
If you are looking to keep your kiddo learning throughout the school year, check out these School Zone workbooks.
They are incredibly colorful and engaging.
These puzzle books are so much fun and my boys couldn’t put them down last summer.
13. Legos
Classic Legos are just about the greatest thing, aren’t they?
They allow your kiddo’s imagination to run wild along with practicing all those fine motor skills.
Consider a few base plates too. Not as exciting to get but will get a workout!
14. Activity Kits
Check out these activity kits that will keep your kiddo entertained this summer.
I have done them with my own kids and daycare kiddos and they couldn’t get enough last summer.
15. Fashion Plates
Even though Fashion Plates could be considered an activity kit, I had to put it in its own space because they are so much fun for girls.
Add in a package of gel pens so your daughter can add loads of color to her fashion creations.
16. Games
Get a new board game or 2. They are great for a family night or to play on a lazy afternoon.
Here are a few amazing games for kindergarteners. The best part about these games is your kiddo will still want to play them when he is 13. I know this from personal experience.
17. Remote Control Cars
My daughter has just as much fun, if not more, driving around remote control cars.
The ones that are made for inside and out are the best!
18. Outside Gift Basket
Put together a few items that make it more fun to be outside. These will make your kiddo want to get out and enjoy the sunshine.
19. Sports Balls
Get your kiddo active this summer with these sports balls. Don’t be afraid to get out there too. Everyone can use more movement after all!
20. Bow and Arrow
Another fun activity to do outside – practice this bow and arrow.
It is great for boys and girls.
21. Nerf Guns
I am pretty sure I don’t have to tell you how much fun Nerf Guns are, but I will – they are a blast!
Boys especially love them.
I have 3 boys with a variety of Nerf Guns and the ones they love the most are the ones that hold 6 darts or less. Easy to shoot and reload.
22. Nature Kit
Your kiddo will have so much fun exploring nature this summer with this outdoor explorer set – even if it is only your backyard.
I am not the biggest bug person but suck it up the best I can when my kiddos get excited to show me the bugs they find.
Let them be curious! And let them get dirty. Trust me, it will wash out!
23. Gift Cards
Does your kiddo have a restaurant or store that she loves? Grab a gift card for it and watch how the crazy excitement unfolds!
24. Go Out To Eat
Take your kiddo out to eat to celebrate the end of the school year. It was hard work for you and your kid and you both deserve a little treat.
25. Money
If none of these dynamite gift ideas have you saying, yes – this is the perfect gift for my kiddo, then you can always give a card with money in it.
Try and get one of those musical cards. Kids love those.
I want to wish you and your kiddo a huge congratulations on making it through kindergarten. Take too many pictures and enjoy every minute of the school years to come.
