If you can get a picture that they drew from first grade or second grade, such as a picture of them or of their family this is great to copy and then stitch the drawing and frame it. This is really cute if they drew it as stick figures and wrote names on it. This is something that they will treasure for years to come. This can also be done with awards or anything else that they were proud of during their school years. Once you are completed with the project you can frame it and they will be able to display it on their walls. This is a great reminder of them being a kid and is a fun craft project to make for them.
Another way to use their early childhood drawings is to make a memory quilt. These are so adorable and when they are away at college or moved out of town, all they have to do is pull out the quilt and take a walk down memory lane. You can use drawings that they had made or make the memory quilt out of accomplishments that they do, if they were into gymnastics you can design the quit around that theme.
Creating a memory book from their school photos is something that they can and will continue to add to the pages. While you may not know all the events that they have done, you can design the layout of the book, and add pages that they can later go back and put in the details. This can be something that they will continue to journal their lives with. But many won't know how to get it started, but once it is started they will be able to continue to add the memories to the book. This can be created tailored to their interests and accomplishments.
Graduation is a big event for people and giving a present that you crafted, and worked on which is personal to the graduate is very meaningful and appreciated.
