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’s a stamp art project featuring cherry blossoms using decorative balls.

You can use any kind of decorative ball for the stamp.

Clip it with a clothespin so your hands don’t get dirty.

Once your stamp is ready, draw the tree trunk on construction paper with a pen.

Then, using pink, red, and yellow paint, stamp the cherry blossom petals on top.

This alone makes a lovely piece of art, but if you want to make it even cuter, try adding flower-shaped rhinestones.

Cherry blossoms made with handmade stamps

Here’s an idea for creating a vibrant cherry blossom tree using handmade stamps.

The stamps are easy to make, so try them with the children in your class! Paste a tree trunk onto white construction paper, then use a rolled-up flyer dipped in paint to stamp the shape of the cherry blossoms.

You can make the stamps by combining sponge sheets from a 100-yen shop with six plastic bottle caps.

Cut the sponge sheets into petal shapes beforehand.

To make the petals stand out, the key is to stamp with darker paint! A cherry blossom wall display that brightens up the graduation ceremony backdrop can be made enjoyably with handmade stamps—why not give it a try?

Draw pictures or patterns with a water-based marker on aluminum foil, then mist it with water.

Place a sheet of white drawing paper on top to transfer the foil’s patterns onto the paper.

Cut the paper to resemble the blossoms of a cherry tree, and attach it to a separate sheet where you’ve made the trunk.

Finally, stick paper-cut cherry blossom pieces onto the blossom area and add rhinestones for extra sparkle—and you’re done! Since most of the drawings or patterns made with the water-based marker will blur, it’s fine to draw freely.

However, because it’s a cherry blossom theme, be sure to use plenty of pink.

Here’s a craft idea for making cherry blossoms: glue crumpled tissue paper onto a base made from pink construction paper.

The tissue paper sections become three-dimensional, so they pop off the wall and look adorable.

Make the trunk and petals from construction paper, and display them together with the tissue paper blossoms.

You can crumple the tissue paper tightly, but if you want a softer, fluffier look, loosely crumple it.

Using several shades of pink also enhances the overall vibrancy.

Decorate with these springlike cherry blossoms to beautifully celebrate the preschool graduation that marks the children’s new beginning.

Cute flowers made with balloons

https://www.tiktok.com/@little_kidsparty/video/7065060360482606338

Here’s a cute idea for making a flower out of heart-shaped balloons.

Inflate five heart balloons, gather them at the necks, and arrange them into a flower shape.

Add a round balloon in the center as the pistil to create a three-dimensional flower.

Make the pistil by connecting two round balloons together, and attach them so the flower looks complete from both the front and back.

When connecting, gather and tie the necks or pull and wrap them around tightly so you can assemble it without glue.

Use balloons in various colors to create a bright, festive decoration.

Spring decorations made with 100-yen store balloons

Spring decorations made with 100-yen store balloons

Here’s how to make a spring-like flower decoration using small balloons.

You’ll need six balloons for one flower.

Five of them will be used for the petals, and the remaining one for the center.

First, inflate the balloons for the petals to match the size of the flower you want to make.

Tie the openings together to secure them, and adjust their positions to form the shape of a flower.

After inflating the balloon for the center, twist it in the middle to divide it into two.

Wrap this around the middle of the petals to secure it, and you’re done.

Attach the center on both the front and back so that the flower looks complete from either side.

Cherry blossom pattern made with a tampon stencil

Cherry Blossom Pattern made with Tampos Stencils by Kimie Gangi

Cherry blossom pattern made with a tampon stencil

“Tanpo stencil” is a technique in which you dab paint to transfer a design from a template.

This time, let’s make simple templates using origami and copier paper wrapping.

Copier paper wrapping is durable even when wet, making it a good material for stencils.

Once you’ve made the templates for cherry blossoms and petals, stamp them with paint.

It’s best to make the tanpo by wrapping gauze around a sponge and tying it with a rubber band.

Creating a gradient with dark and light colors looks lovely.

It’s an easy craft that instantly brightens up a wall.
