[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!

Let’s make a rainbow cherry blossom wall decoration using construction paper like tape.

First, prepare seven colors of construction paper cut into tape-like strips.

Using a stapler, staple in two places to form one petal.

Make five petals in the same way.

When you put them together, one flower is complete.

Continue making flowers in different colors, arrange them in rainbow order, and display them on the wall to create a beautiful rainbow of cherry blossoms.

It’s a lovely wall decoration that expresses both the feeling of spring and the hopefulness of a rainbow.

Easy! Let’s try using 100-yen shop flower paper

With flower paper (tissue paper) sold at 100-yen shops, you can easily make adorable rainbow-colored flowers.

They’re perfect even when you’re busy—you can whip them up in no time, so they’re great if you’re short on time.

If the flower paper comes pre-accordion-folded in a bundle, just take it out of the bag and separate and fan out each layer.

The key is to peel the layers alternately from the front and back.

Once the flowers are finished, stick them on the wall in rainbow order to create a flower field that looks like a rainbow.

Give it a try!

Rainbow-colored balloon arch

Rainbow-colored balloon arch

Here’s how to make a rainbow balloon arch without any complicated prep like helium gas or support poles.

Prepare “quick link” balloons, which have connection points on the top and bottom.

To keep balloon sizes consistent, it’s helpful to remember how many pumps you used when inflating each one.

After linking the colors in rainbow order, attach clusters of four cloud-shaped white balloons at both ends and add weights.

To refine the shape, insert small clusters of four white balloons between the colored balloons.

And you’re done!
