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.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

At school festivals, many classes probably display crafts that everyone made together, right?

There may also be classes that sell handmade goods they created themselves!

In this article, we’ll introduce plenty of ideas for crafts and DIY projects that are perfect for a school festival.

We’ve gathered lots of projects you can make with familiar materials like cardboard and plastic bottles.

Handmade goods and DIY projects are trending, so let’s create something that will amaze everyone in your class!

Fun Electricity/Electronics Workshop 2015: Perpetual Spinning Top Prototype 3

A top that spins forever—the Eternal Top.

There are commercial versions, but you can actually make one yourself! It’s a niche reference, but for those who get it, the idea of a top spinning endlessly in a dream, like in the movie Inception, really hits home.

Kanto Gakuin Junior and Senior High School Railway Club Diorama

railway diorama

Building dioramas is a low-key task, but it’s fun, isn’t it? With this one, you can enjoy the sight of a train running along tracks laid to weave between model buildings and houses.

It’s a highly recommended project for a presentation by a railway enthusiasts’ club as well.

If time allows, I hope you’ll put in the effort and craft it with care.

Canoe

Let's make a canoe out of corrugated plastic board!

Canoe

How about making a handmade canoe? It seems you can even build one using corrugated plastic, and there are various methods shared online.

If you can make several, you could hold a class competition race in the school pool.

Have fun by getting creative with exterior illustrations and designs, too.

It’s a whimsical idea to handcraft the Keyblade—the weapon wielded by the protagonist in a hugely popular game series.
