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.

I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Fruits made with colored plastic bags

[Easy Craft] Make Cute Fruit Costumes with Colored Plastic Bags! [For Teachers]

Fruits made with colored plastic bags

We’ll show you how to make a strawberry costume using colored plastic bags.

You’ll need colored plastic bags, double-sided tape, and flat elastic.

Cut the plastic bags and start sticking them together.

The key point is to apply double-sided tape to the back of the strawberry’s leafy top and stick the bags together in a way that wraps around the flat elastic.

Once you tighten the elastic and finish the leafy top, cut out the sleeves.

Finally, attach round pieces of construction paper, and your cute strawberry costume is complete.

Have fun celebrating Halloween with the kids transformed into strawberries!

elastic headband

How to make a ribbon elastic headband for babies and kids (can also be used as a scrunchie) - How to sew a ribbon hairband

elastic headband

How about making a rubber headband with a ribbon that even looks cute on babies? It’s easy to make! For the headband base, sew a long, narrow piece of fabric into a tube, turn it right side out, insert elastic, and sew the overlapped ends together to finish.

For the ribbon, do the same: make a fabric tube, fold in both ends, overlap them in the center, and sew while creating gathers.

Finally, place the ribbon over the seam of the base, align it at the ribbon’s center, then wrap another strip of fabric around both the ribbon center and the base and sew to secure.

You’re done! Try making it with your favorite fabrics.

Halloween vest

This is my secret trick for when making a pattern feels like a hassle! #diy #Halloween #handmade #monthlymilestonephoto #lifeWithABaby #handmadeAccessories

Halloween vest

Here’s how to make a Halloween vest.

You’ll cut felt into the shape of the vest you want, but it can be tricky without a pattern.

In that case, try making a pattern using the method shown in the video.

Sandwich a child’s piece of clothing inside a clear file, trace the clothing with a pen from above, and cut along the lines with scissors.

That completes your pattern—super simple! Next, place the pattern on the felt and cut two identical pieces for the front and back.

If you leave a little extra room at the shoulders and waist, it will be easier to put on and take off.

Sew the two pieces together, then cut down the center of the back with scissors.

Attach buttons or hook-and-loop tape there to make it easy to put on and take off.

Finally, decorate it however you like, and you’re done!

Origami Ribbon Headband

Let’s make a ribbon headband using origami! First, cut the origami paper in half.

Stack the two pieces, fold them in half lengthwise to make a long rectangle, then unfold.

Fold the top and bottom edges in to meet the center crease, slide the pieces to extend the length, secure with tape, fold in half again to make it long and narrow, and glue it together.

The base is done! For the ribbon, stack two sheets of origami, cut off one quarter, then accordion-fold the remaining piece.

Tape the center and fan it out to form the ribbon shape.

Fold the cut-off strip into a long narrow piece and wrap it around the center together with the base.

Finally, punch holes in both ends of the base, thread a rubber band through, and your ribbon headband is complete!

Easy Costumes with Colored Plastic Bags – Perfect for Halloween, Recitals, and School Plays!

wizard

We’ll show you how to make a cute costume using colored plastic bags.

Prepare colored plastic bags, vinyl tape, and glitter tape.

Cut the bag into top and bottom pieces; for the top, it’s best to use a child’s everyday clothing as a reference to get the sizing right.

For the skirt portion, the key is to stretch the vinyl tape as you attach it so it creates gathers.

Once both the top and bottom are finished, stick them together, then decorate the collar with origami paper.

Your adorable Halloween costume is complete!
