Ideas for Handmade Congratulatory Telegrams to Send at Nursery and Kindergarten Graduation Ceremonies (61–70)
Cracker message card
These are cracker-themed message cards that create a pop and cheerful vibe.
With a mechanism inspired by bursting party crackers, they’re sure to make kids smile! They’ll also bring back fond memories of the fun days spent with their beloved teacher.
Decorate the card base with the cracker body made from cut construction paper, the cracker’s contents, and some twine.
For the contents, you can attach pieces punched out with heart- or star-shaped craft punches.
Also, by shaping the cracker body like a pocket with a bit of space and tucking inside twine that secures the cracker’s contents, you can turn it into a delightful surprise!
Cherry blossom paper cutout
Speaking of preschool graduation, spring is the season of new beginnings, and cherry blossoms are an essential flower for that time of year.
How about making cherry blossoms out of origami and incorporating them into congratulatory messages? Fold the origami paper into a triangle, then keep folding so the layers overlap.
Draw half of a cherry blossom petal along the fold, cut along the outline, and open it up to reveal a cherry blossom shape.
Alternatively, if you draw thicker lines and cut in a way that leaves the lines, you can create a delicate, airy cherry blossom outline—highly recommended.
Try using various colors of origami paper and use them for decorations.
Bouquet message card
Let’s send a bouquet card filled with congratulations to the kindergarten graduates.
Cut a piece of paper into a half-circle and fold it into thirds to make the bouquet’s wrapping.
Cut several leaf shapes out of green construction paper, accordion-fold them to create veins, and set them aside.
Cut several flowers from construction paper in your favorite colors, then glue the leaves and flowers so they pop out from the center of the half-circle folded into thirds.
Your bouquet message card is complete.
You can also make multiple half-circle parts, layer them, and combine them into a single card.
Message card to send your feelings ♡
Share your congratulations with the children using cutely decorated congratulatory messages! If you’re not confident in your crafting skills, you might hesitate to make something by hand.
But with a little creativity, anyone can easily make a message card that recipients will love! Use postcard-sized message cards from a 100-yen shop as the base and decorate them with stickers and more.
Simply bordering the card with washi tape and adding some 3D stickers is enough to create a lovely, polished message card.
Bear pop-up card
It’s a cute design where a bear character pops out when you open the card.
Two sheets—the mechanism paper and the base paper—are layered, and it’s important to make it look like a simple bi-fold card.
The mechanism paper has slits, and by folding these slits in the opposite direction from the base, you add the pop-up action.
Then just cut out a bear shape—with its facial features drawn on—and attach it to the mechanism to finish.
The way you fold the mechanism part changes how it pops up, so it might be good to try various patterns.
In conclusion
We introduced ideas for handmade congratulatory telegrams to send for graduation ceremonies.
Pop-up cards, surprise mechanisms that spring out, and spinning hearts—these heartfelt message cards brighten the children’s new beginnings.
Handmade congratulatory messages delivered for the graduation ceremony are sure to become treasures for the children.
With a bit of creativity, you can create wonderful pieces using materials from 100-yen shops, so please give it a try.
