Handprint Graduation Cap Printable for Kids
This post may contain affiliate links – please read my disclosure statement.
This graduation handprint printable turned out so cute and was such an easy keepsake idea for preschool, kindergarten, or elementary school graduation.
The printable includes a tilted graduation cap and tassel at the top, and kids add their painted handprint underneath to complete the design. We tried this with black paint for a classic graduation look, but it also worked really well with bright yellow paint for a happy sunshine version.
This is such a simple end-of-year classroom activity, memory book page, or keepsake for parents and grandparents.
