[Graduation Commemorative Gifts] Heartfelt Gift Ideas to Give to Teachers and Children (11–20)
Decorated pen holder made from a clear cup
https://www.tiktok.com/@hii_hoiku_seisaku/video/7473091518295772424A decorated pen holder that lets you look back on memories is perfect as a gift for kindergarten graduates.
Prepare a clear plastic cup, masking tape, memorable photos, tissue paper, double-sided tape, and scissors, then let’s get started.
Fold the tissue paper three times and cut it into any shapes you like.
When you unfold the tissue paper, you’ll be surprised by the accidental shapes that appear.
Arrange and stick the tissue paper and photos onto the clear cup in a balanced way.
If you like, you can draw illustrations or add stickers such as flowers.
Place another clear cup over the top and secure the rim with masking tape to finish.
Try making it while reminiscing about the fun memories.
Easy Swirly Corsage
https://www.tiktok.com/@n.annlee321/video/7480465669570563335Fun to make, beautiful to wear! These ideas are perfect for crafting with kids.
You’ll need wired organza ribbon, an awl, extra-strong double-sided fabric tape, scissors, tinsel stems (aurora ties), pearl beads, patch pins, felt, cardboard, and more.
Be careful not to get injured by protruding wires when cutting the wire or tinsel stems.
The combination of organza and pearls creates a glamorous and cute finish! Be sure to give it a try.
Curly! Ribbon Rose Corsage
Flat ribbons transform into three-dimensional roses! This corsage idea is great because it comes together with simple steps.
You’ll need 3 cm-wide ribbon, a thick sewing needle, a lighter, scissors, and an awl.
The process is straightforward, but be careful to use the tools correctly.
If you’re a teacher planning to make these with children, it’s best to work one-on-one with each child.
The roses alone are lovely, but try arranging them with lace or pearls for an extra touch!
Gerbera corsage
@pprnarkn For this year’s kindergarten graduation ceremony corsage, I arranged gerberas. They were too big as they were, so I removed the outer petals to make them smaller. Adding tulle makes it super cute ♥graduation ceremony (for kindergarten/preschool)Handmade#DAISOSeria
Mellow Mellow ♡ My Melody – My Melody
A charming corsage that links the language of flowers with heartfelt feelings.
Gerberas carry many positive meanings such as “hope,” “optimism,” and “always moving forward.” They’re the perfect flowers for a kindergarten graduation, as children take flight into the future with hope.
Each color also has its own meaning, so try creating yours while reflecting the children’s personalities and the message you want to convey.
Artificial flowers alone are adorable, but combining them with tulle or ribbon makes them even more glamorous!
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 purchasesgraduation ceremony (for kindergarten/preschool)Graduation CeremonyChildcareNursery teacher / Childcare worker
Omnidirectional Beautiful Girl – Nashi
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.

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.

Easy! Handmade Medal

Handmade medals are perfect gifts to give from the time children are in preschool through their graduation.
When making the medals, adjust the length so that the medal sits around chest level when worn around the neck.
If you want to include a message or a portrait on the medal, prepare separate sheets sized to fit the medal and have the children draw on them; this will help the work go smoothly.
It’s also recommended to write the recipient’s name on the medal.
When presenting the medals, you might enhance the atmosphere by also giving origami flowers or playing music that helps everyone look back on their memories.
