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 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.

[For Kids] Sports Day Hairstyles That Work with Hats (21–30)

braided bun

[Girls' Kids Hairstyle Arrangement] Bun hair! Stylish bun hairstyle! Put on a hat and head out cutely ❤️

braided bun

A cute, eye-catching bun that’s easy to make using only braids.

First, split your hair into two sections at the back.

If you tie them around the area behind your ears, it’s easier to wear a hat.

Next, braid each tied section into a three-strand braid.

Once you’ve braided down to the ends, coil the tips and secure them with an elastic.

Gently pull out and loosen the braided hair a little.

Coil each braid at the base to form a bun, secure it, and finish with a cute elastic or hair accessory.

If you work a bit of baby oil or hair wax into your hair at the start, it will be easier to manage.

Heart hair

[No.3] Even little kids can do it! 3-minute style — Heart Hair

Heart hair

A heart-shaped hairstyle that even small children can do.

First, gather the hair at the back of the head, not too high, secure it with an elastic, and do a reverse topsy-tail.

Next, divide it into two sections and braid each one into a three-strand braid.

Then shape the two braids into a heart and fasten them with an elastic.

Finally, gather the remaining hair and tie it with an elastic to finish.

It holds more securely than it looks, so it’s fine even with big movements or when wearing a hat.

With the cute heart shape, your child is sure to be delighted!

braided twin tails

Studio Cocoa Presents: Easy, Long-Lasting Kids’ Hair Styling

braided twin tails

These are cute braided twin tails that hold their shape well.

They’re an eye-catching hairstyle, but because they don’t fall apart easily—even under a hat or during lots of activity—they’re perfect for sports day.

On one side, start with a regular three-strand braid and then layer strands over from both sides for an outer French braid; on the other side, braid by crossing strands underneath for a Dutch braid.

The key is that you can enjoy two different vibes: the outer braid has a subtle, natural look with understated stitches, while the Dutch braid brings the braid to the surface for a bold, defined appearance.

twin braids

The twin braids with two crossed braids are a super stylish, secure look that won’t easily fall apart—highly recommended! First, divide your hair into three sections: front and back around each ear, and the center.

Braid the center section.

Next, bring the sections from both sides over the top of that braid and gather them together, then divide into three strands and continue braiding.

If you thoroughly brush your hair first and work in some oil to help it stay together, the styling will be easier and the finish will look even neater!

Elegant low bun

Let’s make them drop-dead from the practice already for the sports festival. #HairArrangement

Elegant low bun

When it comes to buns, they’re a classic hairstyle for school sports festivals! A key feature is how the impression changes depending on where you tie it.

There are lots of variations, from buns that absolutely won’t come undone to loosely tied styles that emphasize cuteness.

This time, we’re introducing an elegant low bun.

First, gather your hair into a low ponytail, create a loop at the base to form the bun’s core, and secure it with an elastic.

Split the remaining ends into two sections, wrap them around the core, and secure with another elastic.

It stays put well, and even if it does loosen, this style is easy to fix quickly.

four-strand braid

[How to Braid Four-Strand] For Valentine’s Day ♥ Easy and Cute Hair Arrangement You Can Make with a Simple Three-Strand Braid! You Can Also Do a Ribbon Four-Strand Braid♪

four-strand braid

For those with long hair who find it hard to keep braids balanced on both sides, how about trying a four-strand braid that combines regular (over) and reverse (under) three-strand braiding? It may seem complicated at first, but simply put: divide the hair into four sections; use the left three strands to do an over-braid, then on the next pass use the right three strands to do an under-braid, and keep alternating.

If you want to weave in a ribbon, divide the hair into three sections, add the ribbon as the fourth, and make a four-strand braid.

Tying the ribbon into a bow at the top before braiding makes it really cute.
