Graduation Ceremony: Make it Bright and Festive with Handmade Decor! Wall Decoration Ideas (21–30)
Animals & Characters
Wall decorations featuring animals and characters that children love will add a cute touch to the graduation ceremony.
While assembling the pieces from construction paper can be a bit of work, try doing it with the children’s smiling faces in mind.
It’s also a great idea for the teachers to share ideas and divide the tasks.
If you arrange the decorations so it looks like the animals or characters are delivering messages to the graduates, the children might notice and be delighted.
These wall decorations are something we highly recommend trying, so the last day of preschool or kindergarten can be enjoyed to the fullest.
Hot Air Balloon Wall Decor Made with Origami
This is a hot air balloon wall decoration made with origami.
First, cut the origami paper into quarter-size pieces, draw a circle on the back with a compass, and cut it out into a balloon shape.
Fold the paper in half vertically and horizontally, and make many balloon shapes of the same size.
Glue them together by attaching one side at a time to create an accordion-like balloon.
Next, fold together origami cut into quarter-size pieces to create a border.
Glue on light blue origami to make a sky-like base, then attach the balloons with glue.
Add decorations like clouds or cherry blossom petals to make it even more festive!
Balloon decorations using balloons
A playful decoration that treats a balloon like a hot-air balloon.
First, cut a piece of soft wire to 35 cm, bend it into a circle, and join the ends with clear tape.
Next, prepare four 15 cm white strings, tie them to the wire ring, and trim them to the same length.
Apply glue to four spots on the inside of a box-shaped ornament, and attach the ends of the four strings.
While the glue dries, inflate a balloon, tie the neck, and tape it to fishing line to hang from the ceiling.
Slip the wire ring over the lower part of the balloon and secure it with tape to complete the hot-air-balloon-style decoration!
A rainbow made with torn-paper collage
@hoikusi1 A childcare worker clearly explains how to make a rainbow using torn-paper collage. It’s easy to create with origami paper and can also be used for wall displays. Suitable for ages 4 and up.#Childcare CraftingChildcare Ideas#Chigiri-eWall decorationNursery teacher / Childcare worker

Let’s make a rainbow wall decoration using chigirie, a collage technique that depicts pictures with small, torn pieces of paper.
Prepare red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple paper, and tear them by hand.
Once all the paper is torn, paste the pieces according to the sketch.
Although this idea takes a bit of time to create, it results in a warm, handmade feel that makes it perfect for a preschool graduation ceremony.
It would also be nice for current students and teachers to work together to make it as one of the graduation gifts.
Make it with templates! Flower wall decoration
Layered petals look gorgeous! Here’s an idea for flowers you can use on walls.
You can download the template from the video description, so first print it out, place it over construction paper, and cut out the parts.
Once the parts are cut, follow the instructions to crease them, then layer and glue them together in the order of large flower, medium flower, and small flower to finish.
Using different colors of construction paper for each part will make it even more colorful.
Please use this together with the “Congratulations on graduation from kindergarten” message.
Balloon arch made with linking balloons
Linking balloons have a protrusion at the tip so they can be connected to each other.
Even when you inflate the balloon, the protruding part doesn’t inflate, so you can easily connect balloons by tying the protrusions together.
In this idea, we use those linking balloons to create an arch.
It’s perfect for entrances/exits at venues and photo spots, so please use it as a reference and give it a try.
If you attach small balloons to fill the gaps between the linking balloons, or add balloon flowers at the base of the arch, it becomes an even more beautiful decoration.
Make a 3D hot air balloon with calligraphy paper and a balloon!
Here’s an idea for making a hot air balloon using a balloon and thin calligraphy paper (hanshi) with papier-mâché.
First, inflate the balloon and tell the children, “This will become the shape of the hot air balloon.” Tear the hanshi by hand, apply paste thinned with water using your fingers or a brush, and gently stick the pieces onto the balloon one by one.
Emphasize that layering makes it sturdier and that wrinkles are okay, valuing the children’s discoveries.
Once it’s dry, pop the balloon, paint it with colors, and it’s done! This activity uses fine motor skills and lets children enjoy the fun of waiting and the joy of creating, so please give it a try.
