Ideas for handmade congratulatory messages to send for preschool and kindergarten graduation ceremonies

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.
20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
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.

How about brightening up the graduation ceremony with handmade congratulatory telegrams? Messages delivered to nursery or kindergarten graduation ceremonies feel especially warm because they’re made by hand with care.

Telegrams received at the ceremony are sure to become special memories for the children.

We’ll share lots of ideas that turn out beautifully even with materials from the 100-yen shop, such as ranunculus made from tissue paper, hearts that spin when opened, and pop-ups where a bouquet bursts out.

Please use these as inspiration and send the graduating children congratulatory messages filled with love!

Celebratory Sakura Message Board

Why not create a celebratory telegram featuring blossoming cherry blossoms for graduation season? First, attach a sheet of paper sized to fit within the border of a colored shikishi board.

Next, spray a solution made by mixing refill printer ink onto paper cut into the shape of cherry blossom petals.

Then place the tinted petals on the shikishi and spray over the entire surface.

When you remove the petals, their silhouettes will appear; use a ballpoint pen or brush to draw the stamens.

Finally, arrange petals adorned with gold mizuhiki cords, and you’re done.

How about crafting a heartfelt congratulatory telegram for the graduates?

Pop-up bouquet and heart

[Graduation/Celebration] How to Make a Pop-Up Bouquet and Heart Message Card

Pop-up bouquet and heart

How about sending a congratulatory telegram featuring a bouquet and heart motif to celebrate the kindergarten graduation? If you make it by hand with care, the children are sure to be moved! The card base will include pop-up mechanisms for both the bouquet and the hearts.

Both are simple to make, so give it a try.

You can create originality by playing with the color combinations of the flowers in the bouquet and the shades of the hearts.

It would also be lovely to tuck in personalized messages for each child.

A surprise letter where you can attach photos!

A surprise letter where you can attach photos!

Having a photo on the graduation certificate makes it even more memorable, doesn’t it? But simply sticking on a photo would be a waste! Create interactive elements for an album or gift to add a special touch.

All you need are construction paper and origami paper.

Cut the construction paper into strips, accordion-fold it, and attach a cover using your favorite origami paper to complete the album.

For the gift, fold a strip of construction paper in half and glue it, then attach origami paper to one side.

Make three of these, combine them so they slide vertically, and you’ll create a three-tier gift box effect.

Photo frame

[Paper Clay & Cardboard] Easy at Home! DIY Photo Frame [Kindergarten Graduation Craft]

Photo frame

Let’s display the memorable photos taken at the graduation ceremony in a warm, handmade photo frame.

For this idea, you’ll use three 15 cm × 19 cm pieces of cardboard, clay, and beads.

First, cut out a rectangular window from the inside of the first piece of cardboard.

Leave a 3 cm border around the outside as the frame.

Next, cut the second piece of cardboard into a U-shape, again leaving a 3 cm border.

After gluing the second piece onto the third piece of cardboard, apply clay to the surface of the first piece and press in beads to create your original frame.

Once the clay dries, place it on top of the second piece to complete it!

Packed with surprises! Congratulations card

When you open the card, various pop-up elements appear.

The first page features colorful balloons that can be used for group messages.

Open it further and you’ll find motifs of a pencil, an eraser, an album, a blackboard, a bouquet, and a graduation certificate.

For children about to graduate from kindergarten, it’s a piece that helps them imagine the elementary school they’ll soon attend.

Each section allows you to attach photos or write messages, so why not add one to accompany the graduation certificate? You can make everything with colored construction paper.

The flower-shaped fastener is so cute! Let me introduce a congratulatory message that looks like a little scroll you can roll up.

The appeal of this idea is how simple the steps are.

Plus, once you remove the flower fastener, you can unroll the message card and read it, which is a fun touch.

The mood changes with the color of the paper, so try matching it to the venue’s decorations.

Let me introduce a glamorous rose card.

You will need blue cardstock, cream cardstock, white cardstock, green cardstock, scissors, a ruler, a pencil, a pen, craft glue, and decorative materials such as pearl stickers.

The roses made by cutting the cardstock into spirals are a charming idea.

The large heart that pops up when you open the page is also striking.

In addition, using pearl-like decorations adds an elegant touch, so it’s highly recommended!
