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)

Braiding ribbons and fabric

Nokoyun Hair Arrange 53: Easy! Sports Day Hairstyles Perfect for Red-and-White Caps

Braiding ribbons and fabric

A sports day hairstyle that even people who aren’t good at styling can try.

If you have bangs, tie them together with the hair in the middle and do a topsy tail.

Split the hair in the back into two sections and tie them near the area behind your ears.

The key is to tie them low so it’s easy to wear a hat.

Next, tie a piece of colorful fabric of your choice around the hair elastics.

Then divide the hair and the fabric into three sections and braid them together.

Finish by securing everything with an elastic, and you’ll have a bold, stylish hairstyle that really stands out at sports day!

Topsy tail half-up

[Girls' Kids' Hairstyle] Super easy! Stylish half-up! Just do a topsy tail!

Topsy tail half-up

A half-up-style hair arrangement that works not only for long hair but also for shorter cuts.

It’s great because all you need is the simple “topsy-tail” twist.

First, apply hair wax or oil evenly through your hair, then split it down the middle.

Take a small section about 1–2 cm from the center and secure it tightly with an elastic.

Loosen it slightly, do a topsy-tail (flip it through), then tighten it firmly—that’s the key.

Repeat this four times on each side for a total of eight sections, and you’re done.

Of course, three on each side (six sections) also works.

It’s a chic yet secure style that stays put and feels fresh.

https://www.tiktok.com/@maika_hair0128/video/7261576002185219330

Here’s a tutorial for a poodle-style hair arrangement.

First, take a small section of hair from the top left and right, and braid each side.

Once done, secure them with elastics and gently loosen the braids.

Gather them together with the remaining hair, and with the section above the elastic kept braided, remove the elastic from the lower braids and braid all the hair together into one braid.

When finished, tie the ends and roll them into a round shape.

Fold it inward and secure with a decorative hair tie.

Bigger accessories are cute and highly recommended! It’s also important to gently loosen the braid to make it look cute, so don’t forget to fluff it out.

Basic ribbon braiding

[Arrangement Lesson!!] Let's try braiding the ribbon together!!

Basic ribbon braiding

This is a style where you add ribbon to the most basic French braid.

Part your hair down the center, take the top center section, and start a three-strand braid; with each step down, add hair from both sides—just the standard French braid—then simply incorporate a ribbon.

If you already do French braids regularly, it should be easy to try.

Key points: start weaving the ribbon in from the very top, and keep the ribbon in front as you braid so it doesn’t slip behind the hair section.

If you have long hair, you can braid partway and twist it into a bun; even those with medium-length hair can give it a go!

Hair you can style just by tying with colorful hair ties

The fun thing about styles you can make with 100-yen store colored elastics is that they really stand out, even from far away, like in the cheering section at a school sports day.

They also hold up well under a hat.

First, divide the hair into two sections, and tie the top part of one side with an elastic.

Repeat this 5–6 times.

Leave the lower part untied.

Take a string of connected colored elastics and attach it along the tied section.

Finish by braiding the hair and securing over the braid with more colored elastics.

With this colorful hair arrangement, we hope you’ll shine with energy!

ribbon hair

[Ribbon Hair] Simple, cute, and anyone can do it♪ A hairstyle kids will love♪

ribbon hair

This is a cute, easy hair arrangement using a topsy-tail that kids will love.

First, comb hair that has been prepped with hair wax or oil and tie it into a low ponytail at the back.

Take the top half of the ponytail and secure it with another elastic, leaving some space between the two elastics.

Do a reverse topsy-tail (flip it upward through the gap), then slide the two elastics closer together to create a cute bow shape.

Next, take a small section of hair, thread it through a styling stick, and secure the base with an elastic to finish.

There’s also a version that makes the bow using a three-strand braid, so give it a try!

A braided-look hairstyle made using only hair ties and simple three-strand braids.
