Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

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.

Easter

In recent years, Easter has started to be seen and heard in various places when spring arrives.

Overseas, it’s a very popular event celebrated as the Resurrection Festival of Christ, and it has been gradually catching on in Japan as well.

Here’s an idea for wall decorations themed around Easter.

Wall displays centered on pink, yellow, and pastel colors feel springlike and create a warm atmosphere.

Rabbits and eggs also add to the cuteness.

These wall decorations might even give children a chance to learn about Easter.

Sakura’s Train

Cherry blossoms often reach their peak around the time of school enrollment.

How about a design that combines those blossoms with a train—perfect for a fresh start? The beautiful pink cherry blossoms celebrate the children entering school, while the train gives off a “All aboard for departure!” feeling for the new days ahead at daycare or kindergarten.

In addition to origami and construction paper, using tissue paper to create three-dimensional cherry blossoms is also recommended.

You could put cute animals on the train, or have the children who are already enrolled draw their own self-portraits to ride along.

Let’s create a wall display that makes the incoming children feel excited about their new life at daycare or kindergarten!

Tulip

There are many flowers that symbolize spring, but tulips are familiar and perfect for conveying the feeling of the season.

The children’s song “Tulip” is well known not only among kids but also older people.

Tulips carry that cute, storybook image just like in the song.

Wall decorations featuring tulip flowers in various colors catch the eye with their bright primary hues.

In addition to the red, white, and yellow from the song, pink and purple tulips are also beautiful.

It could be nice to create them with the image of the schoolyard or the garden beds at your preschool in mind.

Finally, just paste them onto a single board and you’re done! Kids can even help with the sticking part.

A wall adorned with these different motifs will bring a cheerful, springlike feeling.

The Little Caterpillar’s Great Migration

A little caterpillar sitting on a big leaf, with flowers above and butterflies flying around—what a very springlike wall display idea! The caterpillar’s body has a variety of patterns—polka dots, stripes, checks, swirls—and it looks like a project that would be fun to make with children.

The caterpillar’s cheerful expression also brightens your mood just by looking at it! If you’re planning a caterpillar craft, why not use it like this as a wall decoration? It’s a recommended idea for anyone looking for a display that instantly feels bright and festive.

cherry blossom viewing train

When it comes to spring, it’s all about cherry-blossom viewing! So how about creating a cherry-blossom-themed wall display? Make a circle out of accordion-folded construction paper and scatter petals on it to form a tree in full bloom.

Below it, various animals are gathering aboard a train.

A rabbit with both hands raised in delight, an elephant gazing intently at the blossoms, and a bear holding a bouquet—just looking at them conveys the joy of hanami.

It’s a lovely wall display idea.

The dandelions blooming on the ground add an extra touch of spring, too.

Clover Train

As the weather warms up, you start seeing white clover more often.

Flower crowns made from white clover are well known, but in this wall display idea, the children animals are using a long, looped chain of clover to play pretend trains.

Surrounded by plants and insects like clover leaves and butterflies, it creates a very spring-like wall display.

Seeing it, children might start asking, “I want to go to the park” or “I want to play like that.”
