Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. 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!

Many of you may have made one during pregnancy.

Cloth Picture Book: The Hamburger Shop

How to Make the Fabric Book “Hamburger Shop” (1): In the first session of the Fluffy Fabric Book series, we’ll create the base.

Cloth Picture Book: The Hamburger Shop

This is a fabric picture book for pretend play, called “Hamburger Shop”! It opens out into three spreads.

The front side features a clerk, a cash register, and a takeout bag.

The back side shows the products and a page where you can make a hamburger.

There are lots of parts to assemble, but kids who love pretend play are sure to enjoy it! It works for solo play, and you can also split into clerk and customer for parent–child play.

The clerk is bear-themed, but you could change it to a different animal or even make it look like your child.

Handmade cloth picture book

A picture book filled with clever features and love! Let me share ideas for a handmade Anpanman fabric picture book.

You’ll need felt, a needle, thread, and craft parts.

Instead of just turning pages, this interactive book encourages finger movements with elements you can pull and removable parts.

Each page hides little discoveries, so kids can enjoy the joy of finding things and the fun of completing tasks.

It’s a delightful idea that makes turning each page exciting.

Give it a try and make one yourself!
