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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

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.

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.
