Wonderful sports day / athletic festival

Cute and eye-catching! Ideas for making wrist decorations for sports day

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.

During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Wristband made with tissue paper

[Preschool Teacher] You can also make wristbands for a parachute! How to make tissue paper flowers 🌸

Wristband made with tissue paper

These are wrist accessories made with tissue-paper flowers, a familiar sight in school sports day decorations.

They’re a classic item perfect for dance events at sports festivals.

First, cut thick paper (cardstock) to fit your child’s wrist.

Next, accordion-fold the tissue paper, tie the center with a pipe cleaner or similar, then fluff out the folds to make a flower.

You can attach several tissue-paper flowers to the cardstock, or just one large flower—feel free to get creative! Secure rubber bands to both ends of the cardstock and you’re done.

It would also look great to use different tissue-paper colors for each class or team.
