There are plenty of big school milestones, and the first may just be kindergarten graduation. All of a sudden, your little rockstar is going from counting to 10 and starting to write their name to becoming a first-grader in the blink of an eye. That’s what makes kindergarten graduation such an exciting (and emotional) achievement. It marks our little ones growing up right before our eyes, and certainly too fast.

Like any milestone-level achievement, kindergarten graduation calls for a celebration. We can opt for something simple, like making our kiddo’s favorite breakfast. Or we can go as big as having a family get-together to celebrate. If you’re looking to make the special occasion with a gift, consider giving your almost-first-grader one of these kindergarten graduation gifts. From sentimental to educational, there’s something here your little achiever is sure to love.
