[Graduation Ceremony] A collection of handmade corsage ideas you can make with your child

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.
20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
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.

Graduation ceremonies are special days to celebrate children’s growth.

Spring-colored rosette

First, stick the masking tape around the edge of the circular thick paper in two rows to create the petals.

Then layer a circular cardboard piece covered with colored paper on top and glue it in place.

How do we use the paper cord? For the petals.

First, create the flower center by wrapping yarn around a piece of thick paper, just like when making a pom-pom.

Using two colors of yarn makes it look more vibrant and is highly recommended.

Pencil holder as a preschool graduation gift

Many preschools likely prepare gifts from current students to those who are graduating.

How about incorporating a pencil holder craft that makes a perfect graduation present? Use cylindrical paper tubes, empty snack containers, or paper cups, and decorate the surface with torn-paper collage to create a colorful pencil holder.

By using various types of paper—construction paper, origami paper, wrapping paper, or tissue paper—children can enjoy the different textures of tearing.

Finish it off by edging with felt balls and adding a message card.
