Graduation season for any age group is a time of celebration. Your kids are entering a new, exciting phase in their educational career and it's nice to award their scholarly successes with a little token of your appreciation, whether that be some new tech, a cool toy, or an inspirational book.
Tip your hat to the little grad in your life with these graduation gift ideas for kids that will celebrate their achievements and help them prepare for the year(s) to come. Whether they're graduating from preschool, fifth grade, or middle school, there is a gift here that is perfect for the momentous occasion.
How sweet is this graduation bear? Your little one will keep it around even when she's not so little anymore. This makes a great graduation gift for the kid who's always looking to expand their menagerie of stuffed animals.
The last book published before Dr. Seuss' death in 1991, its inspirational message of exploration and self-discovery will encourage graduates of all ages to find the will to succeed that exists inside of everyone.
Are you aware of the "mom tax?" It's that little-known rule that allows Mom to take a bite of any sweet that comes around their child. Considering that, this gift is a little mercenary, but your kids won't catch on to that fact because they'll be too dazzled by the bright colors and sugary goodness.
No matter your kids age, we know they're going to love this graduation gift. It's all over YouTube and TikTok, and will make their room feel super cool.
It comes with a strong self adhesive, and a remote control that can power through eight different color-changing modes.
A spritely doll and her puppy will seriously help your kid celebrate graduation. Your little one will have a blast popping her Party Popteenies to reveal cute collectible dolls, accessories, stickers, confetti, and more. This party surprise box contains 10 little gifts to unwrap — and of course, a popper.
Commemorate your child's graduation this year with this delicate, beautiful bracelet. This expandable bangle comes with a grad cap charm with “2021 graduate” under the bottom of the cap. Your little scholar can add additional charms onto their Alex and Ani bracelet to make it their own.
An instant camera with its vintage style brings your kid's photos to life. Instead of simple scrolling through pictures on your phone, this compact camera dispenses full-color, pocket-sized photos in seconds.
Its automatic light adjustment takes the guesswork out of finding the right lighting, so kids can get a great shot with every snap.
Stumped for ideas to keep your graduate busy this summer? Gift them a subscription to Kiwi Crate to have hands-on experiences delivered right to your door with all the supplies you'll need.

For Optimum Listening
LilGadgets Untangled Pro Premium Children's Wireless Bluetooth Headphones
With these wireless headphones, your little one can tune in without plugging in. Sized just right for kids, with mesh ear pads that are soft on their skin, this headset pairs with an iPod or tablet via Bluetooth.
If your kid is 13 or 18, they're probably recording TikToks and Snaps. This telescoping ring light will make their creations pop, and make them extremely happy. Does it prevent cringey content from being made? Nope, but that's why you have all their logins, right?
Melissa & Doug's double-sided easel will turn your graduate's room into their own art studio, or they can take it outside to create their next masterpiece.
Plastic trays keep all of their supplies handy, whether they're using the chalkboard side, dry-erase board, or drawing on paper pulled from the roll holder.
Your middle-school book-lover will happily spend the summer with their nose pressed against these beautifully adorned hardcovers.
The four classic novels — Heidi, Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, and A Little Princess — are wrapped in designs from trendy stationery brand Rifle Paper Co., making this a collection to treasure forever.
When your kid graduates, they are entering a new phase of life. Chatbooks collects all of their memories in a handy photo book that they can pull out whenever they want to look back on the good ol' days.
Whether you are building the photo book on their website or the app for iOS and Android, it is easy peasy. You can add photos from your kid's Insta feed or straight from a camera roll.

For the Tactile Kid
Play Z Disgusting and Gross Science Experiment Slime Kit
Get your kids interested in science by getting a little (or a lot) gross. This kit from Play Z has a ton of fun and weird slime materials and toys labeled as things like zombie poop and boogers.
There are also gizzards and eyeballs, beakers and jars, everything your budding cryptozoologist could possibly need.
We love this kids’ smart watch because it does not connect to the internet. There is no Wi-Fi, no credit card needed. Your kid’s pictures and videos aren’t accidentally going to end up on the internet.
A kids' smartwatch is a great choice for kids graduating from kindergarten because it's long before they'll need a phone, but just around the time they're begging for a smart device. This is a simple solution for that which also teaches them how to tell time, take pictures, and even track their movement.
This cheeky ornament screams 2021. Everything is represented: wifi, a mask tassel, and even hand sanitizer. We hate this ornament as much as we love it, but if nothing else, this year should be commemorated for its truly weird times.
Graduating means a summer with nothing but time on your child's hands. Why not put it to creative use with a new LEGO set? This particular set has a vacation vibe, making it perfect for a summer build. It's not a huge set, so it is a great starter kit for those graduating from kindergarten, just learning to build.
There are few things more celebratory than balloons. For this set, you don't even need helium — just blow them up and tape them to the wall, and you're good to go. We love the idea of having these hanging around the breakfast table when your child wakes up, with the balloons all over the floor. It's a sweet send-off note for graduation day.
