What to give to a kindergarten graduate: TOP 50 ideas
- The first thing that comes to mind is a toy. Everything is always simple with her. It is enough to know the child’s tastes and give him what he has long wanted. But is it relevant? Of course it is relevant. This is a child after all. Perhaps now is the moment when he should play with this - there may not be time anymore.
- A construction set is a universal gift. Suitable for any gender, and there are many more variations here. In this way you can indirectly tune in to determine the profession
- Plasticine. As stupid as it may sound, this is a great option. A kindergarten graduate needs to realize his creative urges. Plasticine is ideal for this: anything can come out of it (it's just a matter of imagination). If the problem is sloppiness, then now you can find types that will be easy to clean later.
- Don't forget about sports. Soccer ball - what could be better for a boy? If you have a girl, you can replace it with volleyball. It’s good to combine business with pleasure: the child will engage in active sports outdoors
- Drawing set. Returning to creativity, perhaps a child will find himself through drawing. And then he’s old enough to take him to art school... Everything is going well.
- Cloth. But it doesn't have to be a school uniform. Of course it's simple. But give your kindergarten graduate a choice; the child will be interested in choosing things for himself to suit his taste.
- Synthesizer. You should not take a professional one from the very beginning. Believe me, in years like these you really want to do great things. To avoid too much noise, you can buy headphones right away.

- Encyclopedia. Yes, this is also a book. But unusual. If a child is interested in a gift, he will absorb tons of information from there. The encyclopedia also broadens your horizons.

Board games
Board games are both educational games and fun. Therefore, they are often chosen as kindergarten graduation gifts. Board games are not just chess or walkers. There is an incredible variety of board games for children that can cause a storm of emotions in the players. For example, “Speed Caps”, where you need to show the speed of the walkie-talkie and be the first to press the bell. Or Monopoly Junior, where instead of factories and steamships, you can buy zoos, circuses and ice cream parlours. Choose boards according to age that kids can handle on their own. Otherwise, adults will have to participate in games, and this is unlikely to please parents.

You can select gifts for graduates not from the educational category. Relatives should under no circumstances forget that the child’s childhood continues and he, as before, wants to run, jump, and have fun with friends. The most current surprise options:
- Toys that can talk, sing, dance (such objects will not only surprise, captivate and delight the baby, but will also teach them a cute song, new words, and a poem). A boy can be given a car, a robot, an airplane, a transformer, and a doll, animals, or a set of dishes are suitable for a girl.

Graduation gift from parents
If you ask the children themselves what gifts they want to receive for graduation in kindergarten, then the “first-grader set” will be at the very bottom of the ranking. What comes first? Gadgets and toys. But most often they are given by parents, because they are expensive and very individual. For example, popular gifts for future first-graders are a smart watch or a phone.

What gifts are not suitable for giving?
Despite the great variety of gift options, some things should not be given to children. They may not be liked, cause disappointment and resentment. It’s not good if such a significant holiday for a child is ruined.
Examples of “wrong” presentations:
- It is not customary to give a school suit or dress, which is a uniform, - these things are presented to children before their first visit to school. Other clothes, if these are casual trousers, jeans, sweaters and shorts are also inappropriate. But if a gift is provided in the form of a beautiful cap or a fashionable baseball cap, then the children will like it.
- Bed linen, even unusual ones, is not quite in the theme, however, like other sleeping accessories and underwear. You can decorate your child’s desk with an organizer, table lamps that operate in several modes, or hang an electronic poster on the wall - these are more suitable things for such an occasion.
- Do not give hygiene products to kids for graduation. Bath and shower sets and children's cosmetics are also not relevant. The mood of children on this day requires something more solemn and festive than a reminder of cleanliness and hygiene procedures.
- Sweet dishes, desserts, cakes and pastries are necessary for a fun children's feast, but these goodies are not suitable for gifts. For children, even the Kinder Surprise eggs they are given in kindergarten can be a disappointment, although, in general, they love such things. The child needs to hold in his hands something more substantial and meaningful than something that will quickly end up in the stomach and be forgotten even faster.
Ordinary school supplies are also unacceptable - kids have a completely different idea of school, and gray and faceless objects will not contribute to the desire to learn. Yes, in such a process as choosing a gift, there are subtleties, and it is better to know them.
Gift for teacher for kindergarten graduation
Here you should definitely remember the law that regulates receiving gifts. We are talking about the Civil Code, Article 575. It states that employees of educational organizations (teachers and educators) cannot receive gifts worth more than 3 thousand rubles. In 2018, legislators wanted to leave teachers and educators without gifts at all. But then they clarified that such norms will not apply to the education sector. The second thing to consider is the rules of etiquette. You should not give too personal items, for example, cosmetics, jewelry, perfume. So, gifts for graduation in kindergarten to employees up to 3 thousand rubles:
• Flowers; • Flowers in a gift box; • Flowers in a basket; • Rainbow roses; • Fruit baskets; • Digital photo frame; • Plants in pots; • Portable speaker; • Magnetic board for notes; • Calendar mug; • Souvenir pen; • A table clock; • Classic sweet sets; • Box for jewelry or small items; • Dock station; • Coffee maker; • Thermopot; • Humidifiers and air purifiers.

As a souvenir from parents to kindergarten
Such a gift can be discussed with the teacher. This could be anything from toys to seedlings for the yard. Or maybe parents will leave in the group things that they previously brought from home: a carpet, toys, children's furniture, pencils. Here are the options that can be purchased as a group:
• Poufs; • Children's lamps; • Children's carpets; • Curtains with children's print; • Boxes for toys; • Various decor for a children's room; • Bag chair; • Decorative baskets; • Children's chests of drawers; • Easels and drawing boards; • Baskets for toys; • Children's houses and tents; • Sports equipment (balls, jump ropes, hoops, table hockey, etc.); • Wall Clock.
For the parents themselves, the release of their child from kindergarten is also an event. Therefore, in addition to organizing a holiday for children, you can come up with entertainment for adults. For example, make a funny video about how moms and dads went to kindergarten.
Sports surprises
Congratulating a child on graduating from preschool does not necessarily include some kind of gift that he or she needs for further studies. After all, before September 1st, the whole summer is still ahead. In addition, your child needs to be taught sports from an early age. A surprise like this wouldn't be a bad idea:
- Rollers with protection for knees, elbows and head. Pink and red colored products are suitable for girls, and blue, brown and green for boys.
- Swedish wall. Allows your child to exercise without leaving home.
- A bicycle, a scooter - these are exactly the gifts that many children dream of.
- Inflatable pool, swimming circle. A wonderful solution if a family has a country house, a dacha with a large yard where you can place a gift.
- Badminton set.
- Stick, ball.
- Other sports accessories (boxing gloves, pointe shoes, dance costume).
- Skates.
Due to the fact that many kindergartens have various hobby groups, swimming pools, and the child is already somewhat determined about his preferences in sports, the child will be incredibly happy with the above gifts.
