[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.
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.

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!

Cute when hung! A hot air balloon made of paper

How about creating a festive graduation ceremony atmosphere with a hot air balloon wall decoration made from colored construction paper? First, cut a toilet paper roll to a length of about 3 cm, and cut cardboard to match the circle size of the roll.

Make a tube by attaching a 4 cm wide by 14 cm tall piece of colored paper around the toilet paper roll, then glue the circular cardboard piece to the bottom to form the basket of the hot air balloon.

Next, draw a circle with a radius of 4 cm to make a template for the balloon, cut colored construction paper to that size, and create the balloon by gluing together a set of two red pieces and one yellow piece.

Attach strings to the bottom of each, thread them like twisted paper cords through holes made in the basket part, and glue them in place to finish.

You can also decorate with lace or ribbons for an extra touch!

Rainbow Made with Paper Plates

Hang from a rainbow! Walk on a rainbow! Here are some rainbow craft ideas using paper plates.

You’ll need paper plates, paint, twine, a full-body photo of your child, tape, and scissors.

First, cut off the rim of the paper plate.

Next, paint the rim freely with colors.

The key is to let the children paint with their favorite colors rather than sticking to a specific set.

Finally, attach a full-body photo so it looks like they’re hanging from the assembled rainbow or walking on top of it, and you’re done.
