Handmade magnet
Let’s try making handy homemade magnets for posting school worksheets, photos with friends, letters, and more.
Place a magnet into a silicone mold, add a glue stick in your favorite color, and warm it in the microwave.
Once the stick hardens, remove it and attach beads or other decorations to the side without the magnet—done! You can also make DIY magnets from items like fabric-covered buttons or acrylic keychains, so try creating them in whatever way you like.
clock
How about giving a handmade, heartfelt clock as a graduation or preschool/kindergarten completion gift? If you use something like a kitchen cutting board as the base, you can create a stylish piece with a unique twist.
Decorate the numbers and the board with your own sense of style, and you’ll have a wonderful handmade present.
If you include the child’s name or the name of the preschool or kindergarten on part of the clock, it will make a splendid commemorative item.
personalized drawstring pouch
How about handcrafting and giving a drawstring pouch, which will still come in handy after starting elementary school? If you add the child’s name, it will make a wonderful keepsake.
You can make the pouch from scratch or use a ready-made one.
Having matching pouches with friends from the same kindergarten or daycare will be reassuring as they start their new life at elementary school! It’ll be a lovely gift that brings back memories every time it’s used.
Personalized chopsticks, wooden tableware
How about adding a personal touch to store-bought or ready-made items to create original keepsakes and give them as graduation gifts? Try handcrafting memorable mementos by adding names to chopsticks, spoons, or wooden plates using a technique called wood burning.
Wood burning is a method of drawing pictures and letters by scorching wood with an electric heating pen.
With this technique, you can burn in the kindergarten or nursery school name, the child’s name, and meaningful dates to create a special keepsake.
It’s sure to become a lasting, memory-filled item.
pen holder
Introducing a paper-clay pen holder you can keep on your desk all the time.
It’s very easy to make.
There are no difficult steps, so even small children can enjoy making it.
Prepare some paper clay, your favorite glass bottle or container, and decorations like beads, game pieces, or marbles.
Press the paper clay onto the bottle, then simply decorate with your chosen parts.
Once it’s dry, it’s done.
It’s also a great idea to make one as a memento from preschool or kindergarten.
In conclusion
We introduced handmade ideas for preschool graduation gifts.
Items like magnets, photo frames, and personalized handkerchiefs all make heartfelt presents.
Handmade keepsakes that children love will surely be cherished for a long time along with their memories from preschool.
Many can be made with simple materials, so try creating a one-of-a-kind special gift together with your child.
