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.
20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

When December comes around, you can’t help wanting to brighten up the daycare room, right? So here, we’re introducing Disney-themed wall decorations inspired by Christmas.

From Olaf snow globes to characters from Beauty and the Beast, these ideas beautifully showcase the characters kids love.

By combining construction paper in three-dimensional ways and arranging the pieces thoughtfully, each piece has a warm, handcrafted feel.

Transform your daycare room into a wonderful space with wall decorations that add festive flair to the Christmas season!

A wreath of Olaf made from sweet potato vines

If you dry and store the sweet potato vines you dug up in autumn, you can enjoy making wreaths in winter.

For this wreath, wrap the vines to your preferred size and decorate them with ribbons, nuts, origami, craft pom-poms, and more.

Adding a cute Olaf as an accent makes the wreath even more festive.

When wrapping the vines into a wreath shape, try to avoid gaps—this increases the wreath’s strength and is recommended.

Display your finished wreath and have a fun and wonderful Christmas!

Olaf loves snow—he’s always happily playing in it, building snowmen and rolling around.

The wall piece of Olaf inside this snow globe is surely a fun place for someone who loves snow as much as he does.

Cut Olaf’s shape out of construction paper, adjusting the size as you go so it matches the base and balance of the snow globe.

Since parts like Olaf’s hands are delicate, it’s best to attach them at the end.

You might also try making it with another favorite character—doing so could brighten up your room and make it even more fun.

Snow Snow

In December, it snows in some regions, so kids are probably looking forward to playing in the snow, right? There are lots of fun activities like having snowball fights and building snowmen.

This wall decoration features an idea that imagines Disney characters as snowmen.

It looks super cute, and even the small details are carefully done—for example, their clothing decorations are made to look like candy.

Why not use this idea as inspiration to create a winter scene with Disney character snowmen?

Duffy & Friends

Duffy & Friends are fluffy characters born from the teddy bear that Mickey gave to Minnie.

This wall display looks cute with its Christmas-like red hat, doesn’t it? While matching the parts like the character’s ears and eyes, decide the hat’s size and where to place the holly, keeping the overall balance in mind.

It’s recommended to first create the character’s base and then move on to making the parts.

Once you’ve put it up on the wall, it might be fun to change their outfits by season to keep enjoying it year-round.

Mickey and Friends Christmas Stockings

Many families decorate with red stockings at Christmas, don’t they? For this craft, punch holes around the edge of a stocking-shaped piece of construction paper and thread yarn through them.

It sounds fun to work on the threading step together with friends or a teacher.

To finish, stick your favorite character in the center of the stocking! Everyone can make their own cute, original stocking.

Santa might spot the children’s stockings and bring wonderful presents.

Adding bells or glitter glue for a festive touch could be adorable, too.

Olaf from Frozen

How to make an Olaf wall decoration from Frozen

Olaf from Frozen

Olaf from Frozen, who often appears in children’s pretend play, is a cheerful character who loves hugs.

In this wall decoration project, we’ll show you how to make an Olaf wall display.

Place a picture of Olaf in the size you want to create on top of construction paper, and trace it with a ballpoint pen to draw the shapes onto the paper.

It’s best to use a ballpoint pen with a rounded, slightly pointed tip, as it’s less likely to tear the paper and makes it easier to apply pressure.

Since some parts of the body are made with bends, pay attention to the overall balance as you work, and you’ll end up with an adorable Olaf.
