A floral wall to brighten up the kindergarten graduation ceremony! A collection of fun-to-make ideas

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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

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.

Here, we’ll introduce flower-themed wall decor and paper flower decoration ideas suitable for a preschool graduation ceremony.

We’ll also share step-by-step instructions and tips, so be sure to use them as a reference!

Dandelions made with tissue paper

Dandelion wall displays and decorations are wonderful for the graduation ceremony held in spring.

Cut the base dandelion shapes out of construction paper ahead of time.

Take half-sheets of tissue paper, crumple them into balls, and glue them onto the dandelion bases.

Adding ladybugs decorated with fingerprint spots as an accent also gives a lovely spring feel and is recommended.

This craft can be made by children around one year old, so it’s perfect for creating a wall display for the graduation ceremony.

If you prepare tissue paper in several colors, it will add a festive touch to the ceremony and make the crafting activity more enjoyable.

https://www.tiktok.com/@rannzu_mama/video/7102048484651535617

Sunflowers made with tissue paper that shine like the sun are a perfect wall decoration for a festive preschool graduation ceremony.

After cutting the tissue paper to the size of the sunflower petals, twist the tips to form the petals.

Cut construction paper into a circle, apply double-sided tape, and attach the petals one by one.

Be careful not to leave large gaps between the petals as you stick them on.

Finally, cut out the sunflower center from origami paper or felt and glue it in place to finish! Adding leaves gives it more dimension and makes it even cuter.

Bouquet of carnations

Bouquet of carnations

One of the flowers often used for decorations or gifts at kindergarten graduation ceremonies is the carnation.

This time, we’ll share an idea for turning a carnation bouquet into a wall display.

Since you’ll be mass-producing flowers for the bouquet, making a template ahead of time will help the work go smoothly.

Cut construction paper in your desired carnation color into fence-like strips, then shape the top and bottom into waves and cut them into petal shapes.

Cut green construction paper into a tulip-like shape to make the calyx, and attach the petals to it.

Glue a stem beneath the calyx, and the flower is complete! Next, use a large sheet of poster paper to create and attach wrapping paper on the wall.

Then, starting from the outer edge and moving inward, attach the carnations.

You’ll end up with a large, eye-catching wall display!

Three-dimensional flowers made from colored construction paper

Three-dimensional flowers made from your favorite color construction paper have a soft, vibrant charm and are truly captivating.

Cut circles out of the colored paper you like and layer and glue them to form the petals.

For the center of the flower, use tissue paper, buttons, or beads to add dimension.

You can also curl the tips of the petals with a pencil to give the flowers a more sumptuous look.

It’s also recommended to make lots of flowers to create a flower-field effect or turn them into ceiling decorations to brighten up the venue for the preschool graduation ceremony.

Cosmos flowers made with tissue paper

Kimie Gangi How to make lots of cosmos flowers (with tissue paper) #tissuepaper #DIY #autumnwalldecor #Goshikizuru

Cosmos flowers made with tissue paper

Cosmos flower decorations are perfect for wall displays and venue decor at graduation ceremonies.

They’re fun to make together with the children, so please give it a try.

After folding tissue paper into a 16-panel accordion, clip it and cut through the center.

If you make small cuts in the petal area and the center with scissors, the cosmos petals will look more vibrant when opened.

Secure the center with floral wire or a stapler, then open the petals, shape them, and you’re done.

When opening the tissue paper, do it slowly while shaping it as you go to create delicate, beautiful cosmos petals.

three-dimensional flowers

Here’s a very easy and eye-catching flower wall decoration made with construction paper.

First, cut eight long strips of your favorite color of construction paper, sized to match the petal size you want.

Next, cut eight more strips a little shorter than the first ones.

It’s easier to keep track if you use a different color.

Pair each long strip with a short one, place the short strip on the inside and the long strip on the outside, overlap the ends, and staple them together to form a petal.

After making eight pairs in total, staple the outer construction paper edges together to form a flower shape.

Finish by gluing a circle of cut paper in the center, and you’re done!

Super fluffy! How to make distinctive, grown-up paper pom-poms – How to Make Really Fluffy Paper Pom Poms

paper pom-poms

Fluffy and cute! Let me show you how to make paper pom-poms.

That said, the steps are the same as regular paper pom-poms: accordion-fold, tie the center with a string, and open the tissue layers one by one.

The key points are to stack eight sheets of tissue paper cut in half and make fine accordion folds about 7–8 mm wide, and when lifting each layer, raise it firmly from the base.

Keeping these two tips in mind will give you dense, carnation-like pom-poms!
