Blooming Message Card
@saya_3kidsmama If you want to reinforce the stick, use chopsticks or a piece of thick paper/cardboard on the back! → If you use chopsticks, please be careful so that small children don’t get hurt ⚠️Message CardThank youLife with children#Production VideoNursery teacher / Childcare workerdrawing paperchildrenVoice Library
A Town with an Ocean View – All That Jazz
This is an adorable card where a flower opens up to reveal a message inside.
Being able to hold the stem part in your hand is a big plus, too.
After rolling paper to make the stem, fold a sheet of colored construction paper into quarters and cut it into a heart shape.
While it’s still folded, decorate it with stamps to make it cute, then write your message inside and fold it back up.
Attach it to the stem, and tie a ribbon at the base of the stem to make it even cuter.
You’ll have a lovely card you’ll want to keep on display forever.
[Camera-shaped] Pop-up card that opens

Let’s make an easy and cute pop-up message card.
A message card on its own is a delightful gift, but adding a handmade touch or a clever mechanism will make children even more excited.
So, let’s try making a pop-up card where the message springs out from inside.
This camera-shaped card is simple to make: when you open it, a film strip pops out.
You can write your message on the accordion-style insert created with mountain and valley folds.
Give it a try for birthday cards or other commemorative occasions.
[Craft Punch] Flower Message Card

By using craft punches that let you easily cut out shapes of all kinds, you can vividly decorate message cards.
Cherry blossom shapes are perfect for graduation season—why not brighten your cards with a festive touch? Another nice point is that you can create the same shape from multiple sheets of origami and layer them to effortlessly add depth and shading.
It’s a simple yet eye-catching message card idea that will make your notes to the children shine even more.
[Craft Punch] Cherry Blossom Message Card

Message cards with a cherry blossom theme are just perfect for graduation season, aren’t they? If you punch out shapes from construction paper with a craft punch, layer and paste them to create cherry blossoms, you can achieve a gorgeous decoration—highly recommended.
Sending off the children who entered during cherry blossom season with cherry blossom cards must be especially moving for the teachers as well.
While writing your thoughts to each child in the message section, please craft them with heartfelt care.
[Masking Tape] Card with Wings of Happiness
![[Masking Tape] Card with Wings of Happiness](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eUARTT3LFAQ/sddefault.jpg)
Message cards made with colorful masking tape could be a bright way to send off the children who are about to graduate from kindergarten.
Since a wide variety of masking tapes are sold at 100-yen shops, it’s easy to assemble a broad range of materials—another nice plus.
They’re also easy to customize, such as designing feather shapes using jute twine, which is quite appealing.
These simple yet memorable message cards will add a festive touch to the children’s new beginning.
Pop-up card full of flowers

Why not make a handmade pop-up card that reveals a message when opened and send a congratulatory telegram to graduating preschoolers? By choosing your own colored cardstock, decorative stickers and tape, and illustrations, you can create an original pop-up card.
Use a heartfelt, handmade card to convey your congratulations and feelings to the children.
You can find paper punches for cutting shapes and a variety of materials at 100-yen shops and similar stores.
If you make a fun card, the children will be delighted and surprised when they see it after the graduation ceremony.
popping cracker

Let’s design a bursting party cracker to celebrate graduation from kindergarten.
In this idea, a paper-made cracker is attached to a folded, two-panel message card.
When you pull the string that pops out from the cracker, a hidden mechanism springs out, recreating the moment the cracker bursts.
The unexpected gimmick will surprise and delight the recipient.
It’s also nice that it stays compact and doesn’t get bulky.
Use one of the two panels for the gimmick and the other panel for writing your message.
