Handmade birthday cards recommended for birthday parties

9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

A birthday is a special day that comes once a year.

Nurseries and kindergartens also hold birthday parties every month.

Many teachers probably make handmade birthday cards to give to the children who are brimming with excitement for their own birthdays.

This time, we’re introducing ideas for handmade birthday cards that are perfect for birthday celebrations.

From classic cake and clover motifs to three-dimensional designs using ribbons and balloons, and even pop-up cards full of surprise—there are plenty of ideas to choose from!

Give one, and the children will surely beam with sparkling eyes.

As you celebrate the growth of these adorable kids, try making them with lots of love.

Elephant’s birthday card

How to Make an Open Balloon ✩ Elephant Birthday Card

Elephant’s birthday card

For children or friends who love elephants, send a birthday card featuring an elephant as the star! How about a whimsical design with an elephant holding balloons with its trunk? Using jute twine for the balloon strings creates a natural look.

You can also make one of the balloons open like a mini card, so you can attach a photo inside or write a message.

For the finishing touches, try punching shapes out of colored cardstock with a craft punch to make parts, or cut your favorite shapes with scissors for lovely decorations.

Endless Card

How to Make a Handmade Graduation Message Card for Kindergarten — Let’s Create an Endless Card!

Endless Card

In kindergarten life, you probably have lots of photos taken with the children at events and activities, right? Let’s turn those memorable photos into an endless card you can open and enjoy over and over.

What’s more, you can make it with just a single sheet of paper.

Take a rectangular piece of construction paper and crease it so it forms a grid of 16 squares.

Cut out the 4 squares in the center, then fold the remaining sections in order.

Once you’ve folded it into a square, paste photos on the four panels.

Adding messages that match the photos will help convey the teacher’s feelings even more to the children.
