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.

Tulips made from flower paper

Let's make tulips with tissue paper!

Tulips made from flower paper

Cute tulips with a gentle, calm vibe! Here are some ideas for making tulips with flower paper.

Flower paper is a material often used in crafts; it has a soft, delicate texture and comes in a wide range of colors.

It’s lightweight and easy to work with, so kids can make things without needing much strength.

What you’ll need: flower paper, wire, double-sided tape, scissors, green masking tape, and a straw.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!

3D horsetail

March Wall Decorations: 'Horsetail (Tsukushi)' — Cute Spring Bulletin Board Crafts Made of Paper

3D horsetail

Let me introduce a wall display featuring horsetails that appear from the soil in spring.

Place a horsetail template on construction paper and cut along it.

For the head of the horsetail, make slits with a craft knife and glue the pieces together with slight overlaps to create tiers—it might make it look more like a real horsetail.

It also helps to shape the paper so it has a rounded, three-dimensional look.

By making stems of different lengths and gluing long and short ones together, you’ll end up with horsetails of varying heights, which can give an even stronger sense of spring.

Once you’ve attached the horsetails to the ground you made, it’s complete!

Honeybees and a flower field

[Craft Idea] Honeybees and Flower Garden (April/May Spring) (Wall Decorations) (Senior Recreation/OT/Day Service) (Early Childhood Education) (3D) (DIY/Papercraft)

Honeybees and a flower field

Shall we make a spring-themed wall decoration of a flower field with bees flying overhead? First, create a template, place it on yellow origami paper, and make the bee’s body.

Draw the black stripes and face with a black colored pencil or felt-tip pen.

Use the template to make the wings all at once as well.

For the flowers, fold the paper into a circle shape and cut; to add a three-dimensional look, use a pencil to gently curl them.

Vary the cutting style and colors for different flowers to create a rich, varied flower field.

Arrange and glue everything neatly onto a colored construction-paper backing to finish.

Colorful Eggs of Little Bunny

A warm, cozy finish using yarn! Here’s a colorful bunny-egg idea to try.

This is a great recommendation if you’re thinking of making Easter crafts this year using materials other than paper.

Using yarn gives it a soft, gentle look and feel.

You’ll need construction paper, yarn, a craft punch, and craft glue.

Cut the construction paper into an egg shape, then cut out a bunny silhouette from the center, and use the craft punch to add a decorative border.

On a separate backing sheet, lightly sketch the egg shape, apply craft glue, and lay the yarn side by side.

Finally, glue the two sheets of paper together, and you’re done!

Colorful Eggs Made with Tissue Paper

Fun for babies and toddlers! Here’s a colorful egg craft idea using tissue paper.

It’s an activity even infants can enjoy, so it’s perfect for anyone spending time with a baby class.

The bright colors make it a cute, pop-style craft.

You’ll need construction paper, tissue paper, scissors, glue, and crayons.

Cut the construction paper into an egg shape, then tear the tissue paper and stick it on with glue.

For easier participation, try applying the glue directly to the egg-shaped construction paper so the children can simply press the tissue pieces onto it.

Tulips made with teardrop-shaped stamps

Here’s how to make tulips using a teardrop-shaped stamp.

Prepare a plastic bottle cap, sponge sheet, cardboard, paint, drawing paper, tissue paper (for crafts), and crayons.

Cut the cardboard and sponge sheet into teardrop shapes and stick them together with double-sided tape.

Glue the caps together to make a handle for the stamp, then attach it firmly to the teardrop so it won’t come off.

Dip the teardrop stamp in paint and start stamping.

Stamp three times to complete the tulip shape.

Try changing the angle to make cute tulips!

Fun flip-and-find Easter eggs

We’d like to introduce a fun Easter egg wall display where cute animals pop out of eggs when you peel them open.

Get scissors, construction paper, double-sided tape, glue, crayons, and colored pens ready, and let’s get started.

Sketch on the construction paper and cut out animal shapes.

The key is to cut them to the same size.

On the base sheet, place the animal cutout and then attach the egg on top so that the opening lines up with the animal’s face.

Once it’s complete, gently tear along the slit by hand—the egg will ‘crack,’ and the animal will peek out from inside! It’s a perfect wall decoration for the Easter season.
