[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!

Rainbow Balloon

Fun to make with kids! Here’s a wall decoration of a rainbow hot air balloon made with paper chains.

You’ll need seven colors of origami paper, colored construction paper, newspaper, double-sided tape, paper tape, and glue.

Cut the origami paper into six equal strips, then glue them into chains to match the size of the balloon you want.

Use newspaper as a template to cut a balloon-shaped backing from the colored construction paper.

Try combining your favorite colors.

Attach the paper chains to the balloon with double-sided tape.

Applying the tape to the glue flap area makes for a cleaner finish, so it’s recommended.

Add a basket made from paper tape and colored construction paper, and you’re done! It’s also cute if you attach a photo of your child.

Easy and fun! Paint a rainbow with a sponge

@aoringo.shop
[Paint a Rainbow with a Sponge!] Not a brush, but a sponge?! Can the older kids do it on their own? For the little ones, it might be nice to use it as a base in their craft books and have the teacher do the drawing! Using a sponge instead of a brush for drawing is fun, too! Even without a stamp dauber, this kind of sponge can be torn up and shared by everyone 😊 You’re sure to end up with wonderfully unique pieces ✨ 🍏 Aoringo Original Works 🍏 • Panel Theater • Laminated Theater • Magnet Theater • Three sizes available • Choose pre-cut or uncut! ◎ Order from the profile ◎ ————————————Nursery teacher / Childcare worker #Kindergarten Early childhood education materials Rainbow Panel Theater Birthday party Childcare snail Translation Production #Production video #theater Childcare student #niji Performance / Show　#paint

Let me share an idea for drawing a rainbow in a single stroke.

With a bit of preparation help from an adult, kids can try this too.

First, choose the paints you want to use for the rainbow.

Once you’ve decided on the colors, apply them side by side across a sponge.

Moisten the sponge slightly, then press the painted side onto the paper.

Move the sponge in a rainbow shape.

That’s all it takes to create a beautiful rainbow.

If the sponge lifts off the paper, the paint won’t transfer well, so be sure to press it firmly against the paper as you draw.

You can fold a rainbow with origami.

Let’s make this and use it as a wall decoration.

First, fold two sheets of origami paper the same way and combine them; make five of these sets and attach them together to form a rainbow.

Please note that the size and folding method for the red color are a little different.

When you’re done, fold clouds to hide the ends of the rainbow.

Prepare two clouds and stick them to both ends to finish.

It might be fun to fold birds, balloons, and other shapes from origami and stick them around the rainbow.

If you want to make a larger rainbow, try using large wrapping paper or colored construction paper.

Colorful flowers made with paper towels

@buchiko_hoiku
🐶 @buchiko_hoiku ◂◂◂◂ Check out my other posts, too! 🌼 Thank you so much for all the likes! 🩷Graduation gift, Part 3 🌸 Trending overseas! Realistic flowers made with paper towels! 💐I also tried making a prototype with construction paper, but I felt the paper towel × dyed-paper combo looked more flower-like, so I went with that ✊🏻 ̖́-I’m using 205 ml paper cups! Finished sizes:- Pink flower → about 8.5 cm (20 sheets)- Orange flower → about 9 cm (12 sheets)- Rainbow flower → about 7.5 cm (15 sheets) 🤍If you line up the middle fold of each petal along the rim of the paper cup and layer them, you’ll get a nicely shaped flower! (The rainbow one wasn’t layered alternately very well, so it was a bit of a fail… 🥲)I can’t be the only one who thought, “Ugh, cutting out the bottom of the paper cup is such a pain!!” right? 😇 lolBy the way, I tried a prototype using the drinking rim side of the cup, but maybe because of the lip, it didn’t look like a flower and I wasn’t satisfied with the result 😶‍🌫️While making these, I imagined how cute and personal it would be if the graduates wore corsages they made themselves for the ceremony—and I was just daydreaming as I crafted 🤭🌸Please try making these yourself! 🌈 I’d love to hear if you made one—it really motivates me 🥹❤️‍🔥⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰Thanks for reading to the end 🐶I share ideas that are easy to copy, from intro to crafting ♬︎I’ll cry tears of joy if you like ♥, save 𖤘, and follow 𖤐 😂 lolComments are also very welcome 🤍🤍⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰Nursery teacher / Childcare worker Kindergarten Teacher #Spring crafts #Wall Creation Toddler Crafts Play that expands from picture books Graduation Gift Making

We’ll show you how to make colorful flowers using kitchen paper that you can find in any household.

Kitchen paper has a textured surface for absorbing oil, and that texture gives the flowers a unique, lovely finish.

To make them, first cut the kitchen paper into circles and fold each one into quarters.

Dip them into diluted rainbow-colored paints or poster colors.

Then let them dry thoroughly.

Once dry, layer and glue them—slightly offset—onto a paper cup with the bottom removed.

Gently remove the paper cup, and you’re done.

Rainbow-colored butterfly made with masking tape

Easy 🔰 You’ll want to make it: Butterflies 🦋 popping out of the frame with rainbow masking tape#DaisoPurchases Daiso #100-yen-shop #100-yen store purchases Masking tape #MaskingTapeUsageIdeas

Why not make a rainbow-colored butterfly using colorful washi tape? This project takes advantage of the tape’s translucency.

First, on a piece of cardstock, apply rainbow washi tape (you can find it at 100-yen shops) in overlapping strips, shifting each piece slightly.

Once you’ve covered the area in the shape of a butterfly, fold it in half, draw a cut line, and cut along the inside of that line with scissors.

Prepare a frame (also available at 100-yen shops), attach the butterfly so that parts extend beyond the frame for effect, add the body, and you’re done.

What would you use it for? 🤣 If you like, tell me in the comments! Wait, another rainbow again!? 🤣🫱 Since it’s a three-day weekend this week, we did a “Triple Rainbow!” feature ♪ \Make childcare more fun!

Let me share an idea for making a rainbow with accordion folds.

Cut red, yellow, green, and blue construction paper in half and connect the pieces to create length.

Then connect these four colors vertically to represent the rainbow colors.

Link several of these parts to make it longer, and accordion-fold them to complete a moving accordion art piece! Because the accordion fold lets you freely change the shape, you can create various rainbows—wave shapes, circles, arches, and more.

Make it to your preferred length and brighten up the graduation ceremony wall display.

How about making a rainbow out of children’s handprints? They might feel excited if they can spot their own handprint—“Mine is right here!” First, prepare rainbow colors using poster paints, then let everyone press their handprints onto poster paper however they like.

Roughly cut each one out, and paste them by color onto a large sheet where you’ve sketched a rainbow shape in pencil.

Adding clouds made from tissue paper at both ends of the rainbow would be a lovely touch.

Give it a try!
