Five handmade picture frame ideas that preschoolers or kindergarteners can create to celebrate their graduation:

popsicle stick picture frame
1. Popsicle Stick Frame: A classic crafting staple, popsicle sticks, can be transformed into a delightful picture frame. Kids can decorate their frame with colorful paints or markers, and adorn it with stickers, sequins, or glitter. Then, glue a picture to the back, add a magnetic strip, and voila – a beautiful keepsake for the fridge!

colored pasta
2. Pasta Frame: With different shapes and sizes available, colored pasta offers an array of creative possibilities. Kids can glue pieces of raw pasta onto a cardboard frame and then paint it in their favorite colors. It’s a fun and unusual way to create a standout frame.

3. Puzzle Piece Frame: Recycle those old, missing-pieces puzzles into a unique picture frame. Kids can paint the puzzle pieces in vibrant colors, then glue them around a piece of cardstock to create an enchanting and textured frame. It’s a fun and eco-friendly project that also helps develop fine motor skills.

4. Clay Frame: Children can roll out non-toxic modeling clay and cut it with a plastic knife into a frame shape. They can then use their creativity to imprint designs using small objects or sculpt tiny decorations onto the frame using plastic tools. After drying, the clay frame can be painted for an additional splash of color.

button picture frame
5. Button Frame: Buttons offer endless opportunities for creativity! Kids can glue colorful buttons of different sizes around a cardboard cutout to create a cheerful, tactile frame. It’s a fun and engaging way for kids to practice their sorting and patterning skills while making a precious memento.

These craft ideas encourage creativity and fine motor skill development, while also providing a memorable keepsake to commemorate the special milestone of graduation.
