17 gifts for preschool grads that celebrate such an important milestone

Reserved for only the coolest preschool graduates, this cheeky tee makes the perfect  graduation day attire.

Surprise them with a congrats sign on their brand new easel! And next year, when they’re big ‘ol kindergartners it will be the perfect tool to help them unwind and get creative after school.

Now that they’ve got preschool under their belt, it’s time for the next scholarly achievement–kicking your butt at chess. Designed in a way that can teach pretty much anyone to play, the aptly-named No Stress Chess is the perfect antidote to those years of suffering through Candyland.

From the titles they’ve already tackled (like Green Eggs and Ham) to the classics that are still to come (like Animal Farm) this fun scratch off poster helps them keep track of their literary achievements. Maybe they can get them all before 8th grade graduation!

A gift that can easily become a tradition! We love the smartly designed kid-friendly watches from Flik Flak which make it easier to learn analog time-telling. Maybe they’ll even figure it out over the summer and be one step ahead come September. (They also come in a bunch of fun designs including some which can be personalized!)

This Dr. Seuss title is a graduation gift go-to, but to make it an extra special keepsake, gift it this year and have their teacher sign it. Pull it out every year and have their teachers offer words to send them off with!

Tuck some words of wisdom or best wishes inside so they’ll always have a bit of love and support at their fingertips.

After all those long, hard days of learning and playing, it’s time to celebrate with a dose of big kid self care. The luxe bath essentials from Dabble & Dollop are formulated to be mixed together to create a unique bath time experience that’s relaxing, fun and gets their creativity flowing. This set comes with a strawberry gel, tangerine gel, vanilla whip and mixing bowl along with recipe ideas to inspire their next concoction.

An instant heirloom! This sweet cotton dress can be customized with their name and school colors. Cue the tears when you hold it next to their high school graduation gown in twelve years.😭

Filed under: Sappy and Not Sorry About It. Once they paint them, they can live on your refrigerator and hold up all the report cards, awards and school calendar reminders for years to come.

As they venture more outside the bubble of home and preschool, mindfulness is an indispensable tool. The screen-free Zenimal is designed to guide kids through meditations and breath work to better regulate emotions and deepen focus. It comes with nine pre-loaded meditations that take between 3-15 minutes to complete.

If they’ve got an influx of graduation cash, now’s as good a time as any to get them thinking about how to manage it! This sweet handmade bank has space for each of the major buckets and a clear front to keep tabs on their progress.

A sweet pair of studs makes the perfect graduation gift no matter how old you are. This pair of non-allergenic starter studs from Tini Lux is designed with the littlest bling-lovers in mind. They’re made from medical grade titanium which is great for sensitive ears and feature shorter posts and flat screw backs to keep them from poking or getting lost.

Get them amped for what’s ahead with this fun rhyming book. The story helps kiddos learn about what to expect next year, from sitting criss cross applesauce to making friends. It also makes a fantastic photo prop, IMO.

A new set of big kid wheels that’s perfect for summer cruising? Graduation gift perfection. Even better if they’ll be walking to kindergarten next year and can scoot there in style.

Some kid-friendly bling with a side of good luck! This super giftable necklace from Super Smalls is bedecked with a real four-leaf clover set in resin with a halo of rainbow gems to create a piece that’s as unique as they are. Inside the box they’ll also find a sweet little booklet reminding them of all the reasons they’re lucky to be who they are.

From long days at school to navigating more complex emotions, being a kid can be pretty exhausting. Add a bit of calm to their downtime snuggles with the soothing stuffies from Hugimals. The lovable stuffed animals are designed with 4.5 pounds of evenly distributed glass beads which can help kids feel grounded and comfy. They’re great for kiddos with anxiety or sensory issues, but also a treat for any kid who just needs a hug. (That’s all of them!)

This one offers more of a slow burn tradition, but what a treasure it will be! There’s space for a handprint on the last day of each grade to document their growth from preschool through high school. (So long as you remember where you put it when June rolls around.)
