Here's a precious graduation poem with handprints printable keepsake for your preschooler or kindergartner to mark their special day!
On the last day of preschool, my son made a darling handprint graduation keepsake that I absolutely adore! He cut a little cap and gown from blue construction paper, which happened to be the same color he wore for his big day and glued it above the printed poem. Of course, handprints are the perfect way to mark how little they were on their preschool graduation day. His teacher said that the kids begged if she could please paint their hands one last time - so sweet! I love the precious poem and it also makes me a little sad that my baby boy is growing so fast. I will truly cherish this little handprint keepsake!
Keepsake Graduation Poem with Handprints Instructions:
Print on to cardstock (looks best, can be found by the regular printer paper). Have the kids cut a hat and gown from construction paper and glue near the top. Make handprints along the bottom. Glue to a sheet of construction paper/cardstock to create a frame. If using regular printer papaer, be sure to only glue along the edges to keep it from getting wrinkles.
The Poem:
Sticky fingers and big wet kisses
Dirty toes and stars with wishes
Splashing through puddles and hugs too tight
Afternoon naps and sleepless nights
I'm growing so fast, I'll soon be grown
So I've made you this handprint for your very own
So tuck it away and keep it, please
So years from now I can see
How much I changed as time went by
And you can always remember my
Sticky fingers and big wet kisses
Dirty toes and stars with wishes
