[Graduation from Kindergarten] Messages to Give with Hand-Drawn Illustrations! A Collection of Ideas for Kids (11–20)
Easily drawable roses
Here’s an easy idea for drawing roses.
When you try to draw a rose, you might wonder where to start because of its complex petals.
In such cases, try this idea: first draw a heart, then add a small “mountain” shape inside the heart.
Next, draw the letter Y inside that, and then add petals around it to enclose the shape.
Adjust the size of the petals while keeping the overall balance in mind.
Give this lovely rose idea a try!
An easy-to-draw rainbow
Here’s an idea for easily painting a rainbow.
Prepare white cardstock or drawing paper, transparent watercolor paints, a fine brush, a flat brush, water, and a palette.
Have you ever wished you could paint a rainbow in a single stroke? With this idea, you might be able to do just that.
Load paint directly onto a flat brush that matches the width of the rainbow you want to paint.
Move the flat brush in a semi-circular motion, and you’ll create a beautiful gradient rainbow! Try drawing a rainbow illustration, which carries positive images like hope and good luck.
balloon
Here’s an illustration idea with hot air balloons that evokes a bright future after graduation from kindergarten.
For example, how about drawing a vivid balloon with characters riding in it? The characters could be the children who are graduating, which would be lovely, or you could use stylized animals instead.
It’s also recommended to set a blue sky as the background and add softly floating clouds.
Aim for a vibrant illustration that instantly lifts the viewer’s spirits.
A child drawing with colored pencils
We’d like to introduce a way to draw children’s illustrations with colored pencils.
You’ll need white cardstock or message cards and colored pencils.
What expressions of the children graduating from preschool stand out to you? Smiling faces, determined faces, faces enjoying a tasty meal.
You probably have a story with each child.
It’s nice to recall those memories as you draw their faces with colored pencils.
Layering colors changes the nuances and broadens your range of expression, so it’s highly recommended! Give this idea a try.
pigeon
Doves, symbols of peace and friendship, are recommended as illustrations for kindergarten graduation ceremonies.
When painted with acrylics, they dry quickly and are easy to layer, making them convenient.
Acrylic paints have vibrant colors, so you can create very bright illustrations.
Take advantage of the strengths of acrylics by starting with the background first.
If you’re not used to drawing, it’s easier to start by creating the background, then sketch what you want to draw in pencil before painting.
The pencil lines will disappear neatly when you paint over them with acrylics.
[Hand-drawn] Message Frame

When it comes to classic gifts to present to teachers at graduation from kindergarten, a shikishi message board is probably the top choice.
A collection of heartfelt messages is wonderful to look back on, bringing back memories of that time.
It’s handy to know how to draw a cute frame to decorate the board.
First, in the center of the board, draw a portrait of the person you’re giving it to and write the title.
Then build the rest of the messages around that.
If there are many contributors, it’s also a good idea to add a small, simple header near the edges.

Stylish Nordic-style floral decorative frame
Here are two ideas for floral decorative frames that will instantly brighten up a plain message card.
The first is a design with a bouquet drawn in the lower left corner, using a longer ribbon that extends to form the frame.
The second idea is to draw flowers and leaves along the edge of the card to create a square border.
For both, start by sketching the petals and leaves, then add flower centers and leaf veins with a fine black pen.
Using a black pen to render the delicate details tightens the illustration and gives it a refined, stylish finish.
