Letters that look like illustrations! Here are some ideas for cards drawn using only a dot pen.

A dot pen has a springy tip that lets you create dots in various sizes.

Let’s make cards that children will love.

If you arrange the characters for “graduation from kindergarten” (sotsuen) to look like they’re holding hands, it creates a cute illustration.

Decorating around the letters with motifs like hearts and stars will finish it off as a festive message card.

Try drawing while experimenting with different touches.

Pop-up card

@niconico_mama

Replying to @Eri🫶🏻 I tried making it 🥰 Please use it as a reference💕 A pop-up card that’s super easy 😍✨ This time, we’ll use construction paper, which often gets leftover after you buy it once, to make a cute way to share a message💕 Getting a pop-up card for a birthday or Christmas makes your heart race with excitement, right? 😍 It seems hard, but… I experimented to make it easy. Give it a try 😍✨ Here’s how, it’s easy✨ Draw a big heart on construction paper, then spiral a heart shape around it! Cut along the lines with scissors ✨ Fold a larger sheet of construction paper in half and stick the heart inside ♥️ Put double-sided tape in the center of the heart, place it inside the large paper, and fold it shut. Once the heart sticks to the paper, flip it over, put double-sided tape at the starting cut of the heart, and fold the paper again. When you open it, the heart pops up 😍💕 Write a message, decorate with sparkly stickers, add a ribbon… Try decorating with different materials you have at home💕 Make it in lots of colors too 😊💕 It could be a nice gift 🎁 for a teacher who helped you or a friend ♥️ —————————— What I used: • Construction paper • Scissors • Pen • Stickers • Double-sided tape —————————— ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆ Thank you always for your comments and likes 😊 Some people even report back that they made it, and it makes me super happy ☺️♥️ I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s “I played/made it” posts 😆✨✨ ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆Childcare#Childcare Garden#Childcare Garden#NurserySchoolMama#WorkingMomKindergartenMade by the nursery schoolNursery Craft CeremonyGraduation ceremony oGraduation Celebration CeremonyGraduation ceremony preparation commemoration appapercraftdscrafts

When you open the card, multiple hearts pop out.

Here’s how to make a card that’s sure to delight children who love heart shapes.

Draw a heart on construction paper, then draw several smaller hearts inside it.

Cut out the hearts with scissors, but there’s a key point: make your cuts so the heart shapes aren’t completely separated—don’t cut them all the way through.

Attach the heart-shaped construction paper to the card base.

Apply double-sided tape to the center and the tip of each heart slit.

This creates the pop-up mechanism.

Add a heartfelt message to finish.

A pop-up card with a panda

Let’s celebrate with pandas, known for their gentle and cute image! Here are ideas for a pop-up card featuring a panda.

Pandas, who also appear in the “Panda, Rabbit, Koala” fingerplay, are surely familiar animals to children.

Let’s make a pop-up card with a panda, characterized by its round face and big, bright eyes.

When you open this card, a panda peeks out from a bouquet, and when you close it, the panda hides back inside the flowers.

Kids will definitely be amazed by this clever mechanism! It would also be lovely to arrange it as a heart-shaped bouquet.

A pop-up surprise for the kids! Here are some message bouquet ideas.

Many preschools decorate the graduation ceremony venue with colorful flowers, don’t they? This time, let’s make the messages with a flower theme too.

Create flowers from construction paper, attach stems made from origami, and finish by wrapping them using items like doilies—done! It’s an idea that’s fun to make and delightful to receive.

And message bouquets are guaranteed to look great in photos!

It’s so nice that you can stand it up for display! Here are some ideas for a card you can use for group messages.

Many preschools and kindergartens have teachers write messages to the children who are graduating, right? This idea is perfect for that.

The card is tri-fold, and if you include a space to attach a photo, it can double as a photo stand.

The group message section uses a balloon motif that pops open, so the children will be excited to read the messages! Give it a try.

We’d like to share ideas for hand-drawn illustration cards that convey a teacher’s kindness and warm presence.

Some children even request, “I love your drawings, teacher!” Why not create a special message card featuring illustrations that only you can draw? The unique charm and warmth of hand-drawn art will gently touch the children’s hearts.

Adding color with colored pencils or pastels will give it a soft, gentle finish.

It’s also lovely to draw a motif that each child likes!
