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!

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.

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.

balloon arch

How to make a cute balloon arch♪

balloon arch

A balloon arch gives off a soft, cute vibe and looks great in photos, so it’s highly recommended.

To make one, you can tie balloons together in clusters, or tie balloons onto a frame that forms the base of the arch.

You can also decorate around the arch with small balloon art pieces to make it even cuter.

There are plenty of tutorials on how to create balloon decorations, so be sure to look them up for inspiration!
