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!

stained glass

Stained glass captivates people with its beautiful appearance.

I recommend trying window film that mimics stained glass.

Window film is a material you can cut into any shape and stick onto your windows.

This time, we’ll use a type that looks like stained glass.

Just like the real thing, it shines beautifully in sunlight.

There are many designs available, so try finding one you like.

Globe objet d’art

How about making a globe-like sculpture in your classroom, like the ones at Tokyo DisneySea or Universal Studios Japan? If you take photos in front of a big globe, you might feel like you’re at a theme park! There are many ways to make one, but an easy method is to use a large exercise-ball-sized sphere as the base, paste paper over it, and then paint it.

However, applying paper to a sphere requires layering many pieces, so it’s a bit challenging—but rewarding to build.

There are also videos on YouTube showing how real globes are made in factories, which might be helpful as references.

Flower

How about setting up a flower-themed photo spot that literally brightens up your pictures? For example, you could prepare a large floral wreath, decorate an entire wall with flowers, or create motifs like hearts using flowers.

The atmosphere changes dramatically depending on whether you go colorful or stick to a single color.

As an extra touch, it’s also nice to have handheld flowers or wreaths available.

It could also be fun to design based on the meanings of different flowers.
