Graduation Commemorative Gifts: Heartwarming Present Ideas (41–50) to Give to Teachers and Children
folding umbrella
A foldable umbrella that comes in handy during sudden rain.
It’s reassuring to have a kids’ version too, so they’ll be covered if it starts raining after they arrive at school.
You can match the folding umbrella to your child’s favorite color, or even use the same color as their preschool or class.
Adding your child’s name also gives it a special touch.
Since folding umbrellas tend to be used often, they’ll be reminded of their school life each time they use it.
Choose not only cute colors and shapes, but also a sturdy, durable design.
It’s an item that makes rainy days more fun.
drawstring pouch
Drawstring bags are useful for a wide range of purposes and are essential for school life after graduating from kindergarten.
They also make great graduation gifts! For getting ready to start school, how about a set of three drawstring bags? The small size can be used for a lunch accessories bag, the medium for a bento bag, and the large for a change-of-clothes bag—choose according to the purpose.
Since required sizes vary by school, be sure to check the enrollment guide before preparing them.
It’s stylish to subtly include your child’s name or a favorite motif in the design! Because you can watch your child grow while using the bags, they also make a lovely keepsake for parents.
Medal made with a ribbon
Write a message or name in the center of the medal and give it as a gift! Here are some ideas for medals made with ribbons.
Many people love the gentle feel and cute finish that ribbon materials create, don’t they? This time, we’re introducing medal ideas that use ribbons and can be given with illustrations or handwritten messages.
After cutting cardstock into a circle, use double-sided tape or craft glue to attach the ribbon to the back, folding it as you go.
On the cardstock, write a message for each child and present it to them.
Original Frisbee
How about designing a frisbee with group messages, personal notes, or drawings and giving it as a gift? It can be displayed in a room, or you can encourage them to use it freely for play.
Using a white frisbee to make the design stand out is a classic choice, but incorporating the recipient’s favorite colors or designs can make it something they’ll enjoy displaying or using.
This is an especially recommended idea if you want to give a keepsake that’s a little different.
Personalized leather keychain
How about giving a keychain they can carry with them at all times? If you add a name to leather, it becomes a luxurious-looking keychain.
There are two ways to add a name: embossing and leather burning.
Embossing involves striking a stamping die with a hammer to imprint each character one by one.
Leather burning involves using heat with an electric pen to draw the letters.
Each method creates a different look, so choose the one that matches your preference.

@beautifulbell22 How to make a gift kids will absolutely love 🎁I'm Rittan#SnackBackpack#CapCut
♬ Original song – Dosukoi Rittan 🕺💖 – Dosukoi Rittan 🕺💖
A gift for kindergarten graduates! Here’s how to make a candy backpack that’s sure to delight.
We’ll show you how to create a cute backpack using candies kids love.
First, gather your favorite candies and use vinyl tape to make the bottom part of the backpack.
Then make the sides, combining the pieces while picturing the shape of a backpack.
Once you’ve taped it together into a backpack shape, assemble it into a box form.
That’s halfway done! Finish by attaching and forming the shoulder straps, and your candy backpack is complete.
Album
An album that lets you feel your child’s growth with every page you turn is a classic choice for a preschool graduation gift! Many teachers are probably thinking about giving an album with a special design unique to a commemorative gift.
Incorporating class colors, themes, or motifs the children love will make it feel even more special.
If you have the time, having teachers and parents handcraft the album will make it an even more heartfelt present.
It’s exciting to imagine what kinds of memorable pages will be added over the six years after they start elementary school.
