Keepsakes For Your Child's Kindergarten Graduation

A child’s kindergarten graduation is not such a serious occasion where those graduating are awarded with diplomas and so on. This does not mean that kindergarten graduations should be taken for granted. Since it is one of the first times your child would be congratulated for doing something as worthwhile as passing from one level of education to the other, it should be spiced with as many memories as is possible. It is essential to make keepsakes for this kindergarten graduation so that even when the child grows up, he would still remember such a day.

Just like the high school cap and gown are an important part of the graduation ceremony, so you should make your child’s kindergarten graduation gown and cap very important even though there are no strict rules guiding the choice of kindergarten graduation caps and other accessories. These can come in different colors with different materials because there are no strict rules guiding them as there are in high school graduations.

You can order for kindergarten caps and gowns online. There are companies that sell this graduation regalia at very low prices, but can give you things your child would like to keep. The cap and gown usually come with tassels and a date charm which states the date of the child’s kindergarten graduation. This will make the child want to keep it all the more, because the gown reminds him of a very important milestone in his life.

Also, you can make a whole lot of customized graduation regalia that your child would like to keep away after that day as a keepsake. You can present colorful homemade graduation accessories to your child. They are always better in brighter colors and with drawings on the body of the gown. Also some people prefer to write quotes either from the child, from the parents or other word which should make meaning to the child. These graduation gown and cap and other accessories should also be made in the child’s best color so that he would want to keep in as a keepsake for the future.

Apart from the graduation caps, look for other tangible objects through which your child’s kindergarten graduation can be kept in his memory forever. One of such things could be by recording the entire graduation ceremony. You can start the recording from the day before, when the child is trying on his graduation regalia and when you are putting last minute touches to the preparations for the next day’s occasion. Also ensue you catch special moments such as when he is called out for his handshake or when he goes out o receive any awards. Also take care to include the faces of his closest friends in the video as it will help him hold it memorable, especially since he is bound to lose touch with some of those friends after this occasion as the case always is.

At the end of the ceremony, you can build a keepsake box for the child where you store all these things, so he can relive his kindergarten graduation always.
