Ideas for Handmade Gifts for Teachers to Give at the Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony (11–20)
Perler bead accessory case
Iron beads that you arrange one by one on a pegboard to create pictures and shapes.
Because it requires detailed work, some people enjoy it and others don’t, but with this idea, anyone can easily make a small container.
First, place the iron beads on parchment paper and heat them in the oven to soften them.
Then drape them over the bottom of a glass or a plate to shape them, and wait for them to cool and harden—that’s it.
The beads are hot to the touch, so cover them with a towel while shaping to protect your hands.
A DIY Clock You Can Make with Kids
Let’s make a handmade clock using a pastel canvas and a kit.
First, drop a few colors of your favorite paint onto the pastel canvas, place it in a sealed bag, and press with your hands to spread the paint across the entire canvas.
Once the paint is dry, stick your choice of rhinestone stickers on the dial area, make a hole in the center, and attach the clock kit.
You’re free to design the pastel canvas however you like—capturing a memory in a painting is a great idea, too.
We recommend using acrylic paint.
Parfait pen stand
https://www.tiktok.com/@n.annlee321/video/7348368958124297473If you want to make a gift for a teacher who has helped you, together with your child, we recommend the “Spring Parfait Pen Stand.” It’s adorable to look at and practical for holding pens, so it fits in nicely on a desk.
Fix some cardstock inside a clear cup from a 100-yen shop and create dividers.
Add transparent origami paper, pompoms, felt fruit, and cotton, and it’s done.
It’s very easy, so put your heart into it and try making it with your child.
Every time the teacher sees the pen stand, they might be reminded of your child’s face.
We hope the gift conveys your warm feelings along with it.
Draw with a pen! Flower message card
https://www.tiktok.com/@happymoji_ayuayu/video/7476777064780041480For a gift to teachers at the kindergarten graduation ceremony, a hand-drawn floral message card made with pens is perfect.
Just use colorful pens to freely draw various flower illustrations and add a simple “thank you,” and you’ll have a warm, heartfelt card.
It’s very easy to make: use drawing paper or cardstock, and have the children write their own messages and draw small flower illustrations with pens.
If parents and children draw together, it adds fun and creates shared memories.
Decorate with stickers or washi tape to make the card even more festive and special.
The handmade warmth and individuality will shine through, making it a memorable gift for the teachers.

With gratitude to the teacher! Here’s how to make a stylish floral thank-you plaque using a chic wooden case.
Materials: a wooden case (can be found at 100-yen shops), artificial flowers, a ribbon in your favorite color, a white pen, a photo, and a message card.
First, wrap the ribbon around the artificial flowers to make a mini bouquet.
Place the bouquet and the photo in the box, then write your message on the wooden case lid with the white pen—and you’re done! It’s great because the bouquet can be kept, and you can send it together with the photo and message; plus, it looks stylish as interior decor.
Highly recommended.
Moleflower
https://www.tiktok.com/@kodomokosaku/video/7375123588552215825How about giving your teachers a cute pipe-cleaner flower as a thank-you gift? Here’s how to make it: First, twist a pipe cleaner.
Split it in the middle to form two petals of the same size.
Stack three of these and wrap them tightly.
Then wrap once more from the top with another pipe cleaner and shape it—that’s it! For small flowers, start from an equilateral triangle to make three petals.
If you twist two pieces together first, they won’t come apart easily.
Stick a pearl sticker in the center of the finished flower.
Make a stem with a pipe cleaner, insert it into a melamine sponge, and bundle with a paper napkin to make a bouquet; or use a paper cup to turn it into a memo stand—both are super cute and highly recommended.

paperweight

A paperweight is an item used to keep papers from being blown away.
The weight used for Japanese calligraphy (bunchin) is also a type of paperweight.
In this idea, we’ll make a paperweight using resin.
Just pour resin into a mold of your preferred shape, let it cure, and then add color on top—so as long as you have the materials and curing equipment, anyone can give it a try.
It also looks beautiful if you embed beads or holographic pieces in the resin.
It’s a perfect gift for teachers who handle a lot of paperwork.
