[Graduation Commemorative Gifts] Handmade Presents That Kids Will Love! A Collection of Easy-to-Make Ideas

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

A single corsage with a message

@n.annlee321
I think a single-flower vase has the charm of letting you focus on one flower and cherish it. 😊💓 Single-flower corsage 🌸 I hope this is helpful. 🫶#100-yen shop DIY #100-yen store purchases graduation ceremony (for kindergarten/preschool)Graduation Ceremony Childcare Nursery teacher / Childcare worker

It will become a cherished keepsake as a memorable item! It’s a wonderful idea that combines a message with a corsage.

What you’ll need are round origami paper, transparent origami paper, glue or adhesive, thick paper (cardstock), artificial flowers of your choice, double-sided tape, vinyl tape, safety pins, and so on.

It’s fun how the vibe changes depending on the patterns and colors of the origami, isn’t it? For the message, it’s also nice to have the children write about their dreams for the future.

Try incorporating it while enjoying the process of arranging it to your liking.

It would be lovely for parents and children to wear matching ones! Here’s an idea for a beautiful corsage that combines organza ribbon and artificial flowers.

You will need two pieces of felt cut into 4 cm circles, one circular piece of thick paper, a safety pin, scissors, double-sided tape, wired ribbon, artificial flowers, decorative parts, and glue.

When working with the wired ribbon and safety pin, make it together with your child while taking care to avoid pricking fingers.

Choosing and attaching the decorative parts sounds fun too!

Flowers made with pipe cleaners that even small children can make!

@niconico_mama
[Graduation Gift] Since the preschool graduation is coming up soon, I made that thing 🥰#Graduation from kindergarten Graduation Graduation Ceremony
♪ Isn't it enough to be just cute? – First Chorus – CUTIE STREET

Let’s make flowers using heart-shaped packing peanuts and chenille stems (pipe cleaners).

It’s easy enough for kids: simply skewer three peanuts onto the pipe cleaner and roll them up.

After adding the peanuts, curl them into a circle to form petals, then use the pipe cleaner to create the stamens and stem.

Once finished, wrap the flowers with tissue paper or lace paper to make a bouquet.

Heart-shaped packing peanuts come in many colors, so you can make flowers in your favorite shades.

Put your gratitude into each one and craft them with care.

Make It Yourself! Block Corsage

@kichijyo
Making a corsage before heading out 🌸 Getting ready for the graduation ceremony 🥺🥺🥺🌸#Nursery school #Graduation from kindergarten #LEGO #Kichijo Nursery School
Friend ~Time of Departure~ – YUZU

The charm of the “block corsage” is that it allows children to turn their ideas directly into shape.

The woven paper patterns are never the same, and each finished piece clearly shows its individuality.

By adding small blocks or character stickers, you get a cohesive look with a playful touch, creating a bright, childlike impression.

Depending on the color scheme, it can feel either festive or calm, making it easy to pair with outfits for kindergarten graduation ceremonies.

A corsage they design and make themselves is especially fun to wear on the day and will become a memorable keepsake.

Change the impression with color combinations! Let’s make a paper corsage out of construction paper.

You will need two colors of construction paper, a utility knife, a cutting mat, a ruler, and double-sided tape or glue.

It’s a fun idea to work together—have a teacher or guardian cut the materials, and let the children assemble them.

Because the color combinations let kids express their individuality, it’s best to let them choose the colors.

Pairing the colors with silver or gold materials will enhance the glamor and create an even more beautiful finish.

Easy corsage made from colored construction paper

https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku.labo/video/7349043145880915207

Preparing together with your child for the special day of the graduation ceremony will also become a precious memory.

The “Easy Paper Corsage” we’re introducing here is appealing because it can be made with simple, familiar materials.

By cutting colored construction paper into petal shapes and layering them in order, you can create a three-dimensional look; add ribbons or stickers to make it even more festive.

Since the steps use scissors and glue, children can take the lead and enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes from making something themselves.

You can freely customize it by choosing color combinations, drawing patterns, or adding stickers.

Pin the finished corsage to your chest, and the graduation ceremony is sure to feel even more special.
