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.

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’m trapped!?

You can take photos even with a large group! Here’s an idea for a “We’re trapped?!” shot.

When photographing trick art, sometimes only one person can appear due to how the setup works.

This time, let’s create a trick art piece that four people can shoot together.

In the posted photo, the subjects are photographed inside a capsule labeled “For Humans, Mini Machine,” making it look as if they’ve been trapped.

In the foreground, there’s also someone who has discovered the people trapped inside, which adds a unique and entertaining storyline.

Floating crosswalk

A crosswalk trick art that uses optical illusions.

Instead of just painting the white crosswalk lines, by rendering the shadows in a three-dimensional way, you can make it look as if the crosswalk planks are floating.

Passersby will likely stop in their tracks and become absorbed in the curious scene.

It can also become a popular photo spot, with the potential for widespread sharing on social media.

If you set it up near the entrance of a school festival or along the main walkway, it should boost attention for the entire venue.

It’s an idea that adds surprise and buzz to an event.

The photo booth at a maid café during a school festival is a great idea for creating lasting memories of your visit.

Adding stylish fabrics, lamps, and plush toys as a backdrop enhances the extraordinary atmosphere and naturally brings guests closer to the maids.

Having people strike the classic “moe moe kyun” pose or use message boards makes it possible to create unique, on-the-spot memories.

The photo session also sparks conversation, allowing both guests and maids to share a fun moment together.

After the festival, looking back at the photos will bring those happy times to life and deepen the sense of satisfaction from participating.

Displaying sample photos for people waiting in line will draw even more attention.

Decorate the blackboard with balloons

[Challenge] Taking on Chalkboard Art! Do next-gen models have a sense of design?! [Popteen]

Decorate the blackboard with balloons

Balloon decorations are one of the classic photo spots at school festivals.

In particular, it’s popular to stick real balloons onto a chalkboard that has illustrations or lettering drawn on it.

You can attach balloons around the drawings or letters to make them part of the decoration, or you can use letter-shaped balloons and make them the star of the display.

On social media, you’ll also see people holding the strings of a bunch of balloons that are attached to the board while taking photos.

If you draw a sky on the chalkboard, you can create a photo spot that looks like you’re flying through the air with the balloons.

Dried flowers

If you want to create a photo spot that highlights the subject, using dried flowers is a great option.

Because dried flowers are dehydrated, they have a soft, muted color palette.

This means they don’t overwhelm the scene and can make the person standing in front of them look even more striking.

Another appeal of dried flowers is the wide variety available, making it easy to add originality.

Try choosing them based on their colors, the meanings of the flowers, or the motif you want to create.

candle

Using candles can create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

First, find a space that can be darkened.

Then think about how to arrange the candles.

For example, you could line up many simple candles, or you could arrange colorful ones.

The former will give a sacred impression, while the latter will create a lively feel.

By the way, if school rules or other regulations prohibit open flames, using LED candle lights is a good alternative.
