10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
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.

[April] Cute Classroom Wall Decoration Ideas for Preschool Inspired by Spring (21–30)

A butterfly with beautiful watercolor-like bleeding effects

Gently blending colors make it so beautiful! Here are some ideas for butterflies using a bleeding painting technique.

Bleeding painting is a form of art that takes advantage of the way paint or ink bleeds and spreads across paper or canvas to create beautiful effects.

Its charm lies in the dreamy atmosphere and soft impression it gives.

This time, let’s use paper towels to make original butterflies.

Color the paper towel with water-based markers, then use a dropper to let water soak in.

Once it’s fully dry, cut it into a butterfly shape and wrap a pipe cleaner around it to finish!

Chick and Four-Leaf Clover

Here’s an introduction to making chicks and four-leaf clovers.

Prepare paint, brushes, a palette, drawing paper, and crayons, and let’s get started.

Put paint on the children’s palms and have them do hand painting to color and create the four-leaf clovers.

Older children can try drawing chicks and ladybugs on the drawing paper.

For younger children, it’s also nice to have them paste pre-made chicks or ladybugs.

For the background paper, we recommend spring-like colors such as pink or light blue!

Let’s make your very own special butterfly! Here are some ideas for butterflies made with colorful tissue paper.

Tissue paper is thin and soft, and it’s often used for crafts that have a gentle, festive feel.

With its wide range of colors, it’s perfect for creating three-dimensional flowers and decorations.

It’s lightweight and easy for kids to work with, so they can cut, crumple, and twist it to freely express different shapes.

This time, we’ll make a butterfly from the popular children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The patterns and color choices really show off each person’s individuality.

Introducing stamp play you can set up in no time! For the sponge, just add some rubber bands 🧽 and the spoon works as-is 👌 The only thing to watch is the paint thickness 🎨✨ For the butterfly, using a bit more water than for the tulip made stamping easier 🦋#Childcare Crafting #Making Play #Spring crafts #paint Stamp #Production Video

It’s great that you can make use of familiar materials you already have at home or in the classroom! Here’s an idea where a kitchen sponge transforms into a butterfly.

The butterfly made with a kitchen sponge and a spork is appealing because the materials are easy to gather and the steps are simple.

The soft, gentle texture unique to sponges is a key feature! Cutting the sponge into smaller sizes lets you make tiny butterflies too, which is a fun twist.

Give it a try in your activities!

Sparkly-winged butterfly

Let’s make one with colored foil origami! Here’s an idea for a butterfly with sparkly wings.

Colored foil origami has a unique texture and a beautiful finish, giving a more glamorous impression than regular origami.

This time, let’s make the butterfly that appears in the beloved children’s book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” It’s also great practice for cutting straight with scissors.

For toddlers, it might be easier if they tear the paper by hand to create their own arrangement.

Butterflies made with finger painting

Happy little fingers that stay clean! Here’s a butterfly craft idea using finger painting.

By using a zippered plastic bag, there’s no mess on their fingers, so even infants in the 0-year-old class can enjoy it—such a great point.

With finger-painted butterflies, kids can press with their fingers, step with their feet, or grab with their hands, enjoying art in any way they like.

Using their hands helps develop their senses and fine motor skills, and they can also enjoy the excitement of not knowing exactly how the artwork will turn out.

Let’s create together with the children and have fun seeing what kind of art emerges.
