[Graduation Ceremony Wall Decor] A collection of rainbow-themed ideas to send off the children

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 as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is 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 are some rainbow ideas to brighten up the wall for the preschool graduation ceremony.

Colorful rainbows are the perfect motif for children as they embark on a new chapter.

We’ve gathered a variety of ideas—from simple ones made with paper chain rings, to three-dimensional designs using balloons, to memorable creations made by collecting the children’s handprints.

As you gaze at a rainbow spreading across the wall, why not look back on the days spent with the children? Be sure to incorporate these ideas into your graduation ceremony preparations!

Rainbow made of balloons

Three-dimensional and festive! Let me introduce an idea for making a rainbow out of balloons.

You’ll need four long balloons in each color, eight round white balloons, 5 mm masking tape, a pump, and scissors.

It’s a cute rainbow-and-cloud design perfect for sending off the kids.

The video also shows how to make the sun and flowers, so be sure to check that out! Depending on the wall where you’ll attach the balloons, it’s a good idea to use painter’s tape or similar.

Give it a try!

Let me share an idea for making a rainbow using torn construction paper.

You’ll need cardboard, scissors, colored construction paper, a pen, and glue.

The appeal of this idea is that the process is simple enough for children to make on their own.

First, sketch a rainbow and clouds on the cardboard with a pen, then cut them out with scissors.

It’s best for a teacher to supervise when using scissors.

Cut the construction paper into small pieces and glue them on, and it’s done.

Just imagining the joy when everyone’s rainbow is finished makes me excited!

Rainbow Made with Kirie (Paper-Cutting Art)

Kids’ creations become a rainbow just as they are! Here’s a rainbow idea made with paper cutouts.

All you need is origami paper, scissors, and glue.

The charm of this idea is that the children’s cutout artworks come together to form a rainbow.

Because each child uses scissors to make their own cutouts, every design is different—pure individuality! A rainbow built from all those unique pieces will brighten up any room.

Try adjusting the size of the origami paper you cut so it matches the width of the wall where you want to display it.

Feel the children’s growth! Here’s an idea for making a rainbow with handprints.

You’ll need paints in various colors, brushes, poster paper, construction paper, scissors, and glue.

This idea is great because you can adapt it to the number of children.

A rainbow made from the graduating children’s handprints is lovely, and so is a rainbow created with handprints from infants up to the graduates at the center.

Be sure to create it while discussing it with the children! The colorful handprints feel powerful and make it an idea that gives energy to everyone who sees it.

A rainbow made with accordion folding

Here’s how to make a rainbow using accordion-folded construction paper.

You’ll need construction paper in various colors, scissors, and glue or double-sided tape.

First, cut each color of construction paper into strips and attach them in a straight line.

It’s a good idea to make it longer than your intended final size! Next, accordion-fold the combined strip of papers.

Finally, adjust the angle as you like and display it to finish! Adjusting the angle can often be tricky when making a rainbow out of construction paper, but this idea is great because the accordion fold makes it come together nicely.
