My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Vegetable stamp card

These are message cards that children make by stamping vegetables with feelings of “thank you”! Adults cut the vegetables to match the theme, and the children press them onto construction paper to create their artwork.

It’s an activity suitable even for two-year-olds, so be sure to include it in your Respect for the Aged Day crafts! Once the stamped paint dries, the children can freely draw in grandpa’s or grandma’s hair and facial expressions.

Enjoy the cross-sections of the cut vegetables and the shapes of the stamped prints as you complete the project!

Flower arrangements you can make using 100-yen shop items

Flowers are a classic gift for celebrations, not just for Respect for the Aged Day.

If you use artificial flowers for the arrangement, it will last longer and let the recipient feel your congratulations for a long time, too.

Start by securing clay that fits the size of the pot, then insert and arrange the leaves and flowers into it.

Choosing flowers that match the pot’s color and design, and considering how to create a sense of spread, are also key points.

In addition to seasonal plants, it’s nice to incorporate flowers that reflect the person you’re giving the gift to.

Caricature Bookmark

[Kindergarten/Preschool] A Grandparents’ Day Gift! Making Grandpa and Grandma Bookmarks

Caricature Bookmark

These are portrait bookmarks that slip over the corner of a book or planner page.

Crease an origami square with a cross fold, open it once, then fold one corner inward to meet the center.

Continue folding to form a small square again, and once you draw a face, it’s done! In addition to drawing with a pen, we also recommend cutting origami paper to make parts like glasses, a mouth, or a hat and sticking them on.

Portraits that children draw with all their effort, imagining facial features, will be treasures for grandparents.

Every time they read or write in a journal, the adorable faces of the children will come to mind.

A message card with gentians that can also be used as a photo frame

Would you like to try making a message card featuring gentians, a flower known as a classic symbol of autumn? It can also serve as a photo frame, making it perfect for inserting a cherished photo and giving as a gift.

The method is simple: cut out the card section and the flower pieces from construction paper and glue them together.

Since you’ll need to cut out the frame section with a craft knife, an adult should assist if a child is making it.

Because it can be used even after it’s given, it would make a delightful gift for Respect for the Aged Day.
