Kindergarten Graduation Ideas

Today is Luke and Lila’s last day of kindergarten.  It’s hard to believe that a full school year has passed since I dropped them off for their first day of school {and shed a few tears on the way home}.  We celebrated kindergarten graduation last week and yesterday we had an end-of-year class party.  I thought I’d share these easy kindergarten graduation ideas for your end of the year party.

I brought a cake for the class {inspiration found here} with all of Luke and Lila’s classmates on it.  I used a store bought cake {to meet the school requirements} and embellished it {our awesome principal approved the homemade touches}.

I used white and brown candy wafers/melts for the faces.  The graduation caps were made with red candy wafers and this graduation cap mold {affiliate link}.  The faces, hair, and names were piped on with icing.  It turned out really cute and the kids loved eating their personal slices of cake.

Luke and Lila gave a little summer gift to their classmates {inspiration found here and free printable found here}.

They were really easy to put together and made a fun and bright gift for the kids.

And my soon-to-be first graders came home with a fun memento from kindergarten …. the kids all signed each other’s shirts as a special keepsake.

Of course, I had to break out the Silhouette and label Luke and Lila’s shirts with a little heat transfer.

It was a great year and the twins were so blessed to have an experienced, nurturing teacher who loves what she does.

Now onto a relaxing, fun summer!
