If you want to create a pop and cheerful atmosphere for the kindergarten graduation ceremony, balloon art is a great choice.

You can combine small balloons to make a single flower, twist long balloons into shapes like flowers or animals—there are many ways to do it.

If you also mix in balloons that take your desired shape just by inflating them, it won’t take too much effort.

Making a balloon arch and setting it up at the entrance for the processional and recessional is also recommended.

If someone is skilled at this kind of work, try creating characters that the children love!

Portraits of children

Portraits of children

How about decorating with portraits of the children to create a lively kindergarten graduation ceremony? You could have parents or current students draw portraits of the graduating children, or have the current students draw their own faces to give the feeling that they’re participating in the ceremony—highly recommended.

You can gather all the portraits on one large sheet of paper, or you might paste them up one by one.

Don’t just decorate the ceremony venue—put them everywhere the graduates will pass, and celebrate them all along the way! With lots of portraits, the space will be filled with a bright and gentle atmosphere.

All you need is a blackboard and chalk! Here are some recommended blackboard art ideas for the day of the graduation ceremony at kindergartens that have a blackboard.

Blackboard art refers to works where pictures and text are drawn on a blackboard using the chalk commonly used in schools.

Many of you may have seen it on restaurant or café menu boards.

On each blackboard, it’s also a great idea to write messages to the children or draw each child’s favorite things.

Try creating blackboard art in each class that will become a lasting memory of graduation.

[100-Yen DIY] Making Stained Glass with Glass Paint ✨ [Yukkuri]
stained glass style

You can make it with glass paints from the 100-yen shop! Here’s how to create stained glass decorations that are perfect for graduation ceremonies.

First, take apart a wooden frame and sketch your draft on the back of a sheet of paper.

Use masking tape to secure the clear plastic sheet that comes with the set over your draft.

Using a glass pen, start by drawing the outlines with a white glass pen.

If any paint goes outside the lines, remove it with a toothpick or cotton swab.

Then, fill in the colors with pastel shades following the draft.

Next, prepare the photo frame by painting it with acrylic paint.

Finally, add a layer of clear resin, and you’re done! Try making these with the children as you get ready for the graduation ceremony.

Let’s make butterfly decorations to make spring scenes even more colorful! You can create them in various ways—cut origami or construction paper into butterfly shapes, or use tissue paper.

If you’re using tissue paper, stack several sheets, cut them into a butterfly shape, then fasten the center with a wire-edged string while forming the antennae at the same time—and you’re done! They’re easy to make, so it’s a great idea to have each child currently enrolled make one.

You can display them all together in one spot, or scatter and stick them in different places along the route the graduating children will walk—both options look festive and lovely!

crepe streamer

A ribbon-like decoration item: crepe streamers.

They come in a variety of colors, and since they’re wider than paper tape, they create a more striking effect.

You can line up different colors like stripes, or cut slits to add unique patterns.

They also look great when combined with balloons or garlands to create a cohesive theme.

Because they can transform into many kinds of decorations depending on how you use them, consider using them to decorate for a preschool graduation ceremony.
