This is the first of many important graduations in your child or grandchild’s life. Preschool, kindergarten, 5th grade, 8th grade, high school and college graduation are the popular ones. These preschool graduation gift ideas are for the most part useful and many of them help prepare them for kindergarten. I wish I had these when my son graduated preschool. He will be graduating kindergarten next month (tear), oh how time flies by.

Here are a few favorite books to prepare them for the upcoming school year. These are great for busy work over the summer break too.

1. This LeapFrog Learning Game: Get Ready for Kindergarten is a great tool in preparation for the big K. If you don’t have one already, you will need a LeapPad tablet or LeapsterGS.
2. Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come! will become a nighttime ritual. A super sweet book to help ease any anxiety for the upcoming school year. To help ease parents fears and anxiety, I suggest talking to other parents with older kids and to read this.
3. Are you Ready for Kindergarten? is a great way to practice reading with your child or grandchild.
4. The Trait Crate from Scholastic is a whole kit that will aid in reading, vocabulary and writing.

Here are some hands-on preschool graduation gift ideas for when the books above become overwhelming.

5. The Preschool Alphabet A-Z Preschool Version is a great matching letter to word game. Great for travel too!

My mom tip below for any personalized backpacks, do not put your child’s name on the outside of their bags. You do not want strangers approaching them and knowing their name.
