9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
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.

Many moms are probably thinking, “I want to prepare handmade items for my adorable baby!” The time you spend crafting while thinking of your precious child will surely remain as an irreplaceable and wonderful memory.

So this time, we’ll introduce how to make baby goods that are easy even for beginners.

We’ve gathered lots of heartwarming, cute items like bibs, swaddles, hats, and toys.

We’re also introducing items that can be used not only for newborns but also for 1- to 2-year-olds.

Please use this as a reference and try making them with lots of love.

Maze lacing (threading)

[Independent Task] Maze Threading

Maze lacing (threading)

Known as a toy that helps develop fine motor skills in the hands and fingertips, “string threading” is highly recommended for children’s finger training.

It’s perfect for kids who are still gaining control of their hand movements, as it also helps build concentration.

Since threading requires a great deal of focus, it’s effective for strengthening attention as well.

It’s also a fun and beneficial activity for infants and toddlers, and is useful in therapeutic and developmental settings.

It fosters a sense of accomplishment in children, too.

Because kids can learn while playing, try making your own original handmade version and enjoy it together!
