[Graduation from Kindergarten] Handwritten Illustration Messages! An Idea Collection to Send to Children (41–50)
Hand-drawn illustration card
Message cards adorned with hand-drawn illustrations make it easy for each teacher to express their own personality and feelings.
Their warmth, which is different from more elaborate creations, will surely come across to the children as well.
In addition to graduation-themed designs, it’s wonderful to add a special touch by drawing things related to each child’s memories or their favorite things.
As you make them, countless memories are sure to come rushing back—these simple yet love-filled message cards are a perfect way to convey your affection to the children.

Bouquet motif
How about a hand-drawn, charming bouquet illustration for gifts or wall displays? It’s perfect for celebrating kindergarten seniors as they set off on their next stage.
Flowers associated with graduation season, as well as pink and pastel-colored blooms, are recommended.
With a soft, airy touch, the illustration alone can make viewers feel happy and share in the celebratory mood of graduation.
Adding the illustration also conveys a sense of excitement and anticipation for the new life awaiting them in elementary school.
Kindergarten seniors, who are kind to the younger classes and admired by them, are truly special—so please try drawing with heartfelt care.
The scenery of the school building I used to attend
Once children graduate from kindergarten or nursery school, there aren’t many chances to go inside the building again, are there? So how about, on graduation day, drawing illustrations of the places inside the school where they played every day and displaying them so those scenes won’t be forgotten? It will surely spark conversations with the children like, “We played in so many places, didn’t we?” Illustrations can convey a warmth that’s different from photographs.
In addition to the main classroom, places like the playroom, the kitchen, and the shoe cubbies may not be special locations, but each one will become a wonderful memory.
[Acrylic Paint] Rainbow and Soap Bubbles Celebrating a New Beginning

Illustrations painted with acrylics have vivid colors and a bright, pop feel, so I highly recommend them.
They’re also great for layering, making them easy to work with.
Let’s try painting a rainbow and soap bubbles with acrylic paint.
Rainbows are colorful and evoke hope for tomorrow, which is wonderful.
Create a heartfelt illustration for the graduates, encouraging them to keep walking toward the happiness that lies beyond the rainbow.
Adding elements like the townscape where the preschool is located or the surrounding mountains along with the rainbow will also make it striking.
Hand-drawn POP-style illustration
Handwritten POP signs you see at supermarkets and drugstores have a certain warmth compared to mass-printed signs at big-box stores.
They say a good POP can even change how well a product sells.
Lately, you can also find enthusiastic POP displays for “staff picks” at bookstores.
How about preparing handwritten POP signs for kindergarten graduation ceremonies or parties? On video sites, masters of handwritten POP carefully explain how to make them.
There are also websites that offer POP templates royalty-free, so be sure to check them out for reference.
kusudama (decorative paper ball used for celebrations)
Incorporating a kusudama into a hand-drawn illustration is a lovely idea.
It’s perfect for a special touch to celebrate the children’s kindergarten graduation.
If you depict confetti fluttering down, it will really enhance the festive mood.
It’s also great for accompanying a message card or the cover of a graduation yearbook.
It sounds fun to design the kusudama together with the children while looking back on memories.
Through the illustration, you can express warm feelings for the children as they reach graduation.
It will surely become a memorable keepsake in their hearts.
blue sky
Let’s recreate in an illustration the sky we all looked up at every day while playing in the schoolyard.
The key to drawing the sky is to move your colored pencil or brush horizontally.
Apply color with a soft touch to convey the sky’s transparency.
Layer darker blues as the sky gets higher, and lighter colors as it gets lower and closer to the clouds; the gradation of light and dark naturally expresses the sky’s vastness.
A fresh, breezy sky illustration is perfect as a background for photos, too! If you want a more realistic sky, avoid filling it with a flat blue—try drawing with a gradient instead.
