It’s an idea where you pack candies into clear bags and attach them to the balloon sticks to make a bouquet.
What you need are balloons, balloon sticks, clear bags, wrapping paper, and individually wrapped candies.
You can get most of the materials at a 100-yen shop, and buying family packs of individually wrapped candies will help keep costs down.
It’s very easy to make, so it’s a great idea when you want to prepare one for every graduating child.
Even with a small amount of candy, the balloons add volume, making it a gift that looks impressive.
Bouquet with a secret message
@niconico_mama [Preschool Graduation Gift] I tucked a little secret surprise into the handmade bouquet for that child who’s graduating 🥰#Graduation from kindergartenGraduationGraduation Ceremony#asmr

This idea hides a little surprise that you won’t notice when you first receive the bouquet.
The trick is a message written on the inside of the colored paper base.
At first it looks like an ordinary bouquet, but in a quiet moment you discover a heartwarming note like “Congratulations” or “Thank you”—a lovely touch.
The flowers themselves are made using stamps created from straws, but you can also make them with origami or by combining round stickers—feel free to express it however you like.
If you’re looking for a heartfelt gift, please feel free to use this as inspiration.

A gift of smiles with a portrait
As a memorable gift, giving portraits to the graduating children is also recommended.
Even though we think we know our own faces, we don’t actually notice the finer details.
That’s why a portrait can lead to new self-discoveries.
Try drawing while imagining the children’s smiles—whether it’s a simple pencil sketch or a stylized, character-like caricature.
When handing out the portraits, make it even more fun by not calling names and turning it into a quiz to guess who’s who during the gift-giving time.
Everyone’s Dance “Niji”
Why not perform a dance to “Niji,” a song that’s popular with kids too? Its gentle lyrics are truly charming and warm the heart when you listen.
Graduation is a joyful event, but children may also feel anxious about this new beginning.
At times like that, listening to this song and moving their bodies with energy might blow those worries away.
With simple choreography, everyone can dance together on the spot, so feel free to use the video as a reference and give it a try.
A Song Gift for the Teacher
https://www.tiktok.com/@omiyamichinoko/video/74827031916085281355If you’d like to give a gift to a teacher who has supported you, how about giving the gift of a song? You could sing a song you’ve performed together before, or choose—after discussing with everyone—a song that expresses your gratitude and present it as a surprise on the day.
The children’s earnest singing voices will convey a direct “We love you” and “Thank you” to the teacher.
Listening to the song, the teacher will rejoice in the children’s growth and, while recalling the time you’ve spent together, will surely be moved to the point of having their heart full.
Sign language dance “The Flower of Thanks”
How about planning a sign language dance for the song “Arigatou no Hana,” written and composed by Osamu Sakata? Let’s create choreography that centers on sign language while incorporating simple steps.
Sign language may feel unfamiliar at first, but once you learn it, it broadens your communication and expands children’s horizons.
Take this opportunity to dive into sign language and open a new door.
Let’s move forward together—teaching one another and finding ways to make it easy to remember!
A gift of song! Full of sparkle
In time with the song, little stars appear—and amazingly, cherry blossoms, ginkgo leaves, and even snowmen come out from inside those stars in the song “Full of Sparkles”! With these seasonal motifs, it will become a wonderful performance that brings back memories everyone shared together.
At the end, paper dolls holding hands and hearts make an appearance, and if you put them up on the wall, they’ll become decorations that feel like your precious memories have taken shape.
A cappella is fine, but if someone is good at piano, ask them to accompany.
You’re sure to have a calm, lovely time.
