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.

Just tie it! Twin-tails

Girls' Kids' Hairstyle Ideas: Easy, stylish tie-up hair that won’t fall apart—even at kindergarten!

Just tie it! Twin-tails

This is an easy, long-lasting hairstyle that just uses colorful hair ties.

Start by dividing the hair into two sections at the back.

Clip one side out of the way, and tie the top section of the other side with a hair tie.

It’s nice to use the most eye-catching, decorative tie for this first one.

Next, gather the hair at the temple area and tie it together with the section you just secured, using a colorful tie.

Continue repeating the same steps, moving gradually downward.

It’s also great that you can adjust the look by age—use colorful ties for little kids, and for older elementary-aged children, choose more mature colors like black or brown.

Elsa hair

With a topsy tail and a braid, let’s transform into Elsa from the movie Frozen—a look every girl dreams of! First, divide the top section of hair into two layers, do a topsy tail (kuru-rin-pa) with each, and gently pull out some strands for volume.

Gather the topsy-tailed sections together with the remaining hair into one, then simply start braiding.

Lightly pancake the braided sections to balance the shape, and you’ll have an elegant yet cute Elsa hairstyle.

Add hair accessories or a touch of glitter to bring out even more of the Snow Queen vibe.

Side arrangement you can do in 5 minutes

[For Elementary School Kids] A Side Hair Arrangement You Can Do in 5 Minutes

Side arrangement you can do in 5 minutes

Here’s a side-hair arrangement you can do in 5 minutes.

Take the hair in front of your ears and divide it into a top and bottom section.

Pull the top section back at a 45-degree angle and braid it, then secure with an elastic.

Next, split the bottom section into two down the middle, drop the braid between the two sections, and tie the bottom hair together above the braid.

Create a topsy tail (flip the tied section through the gap), then tie again a little below the first elastic, and bring everything behind your ear to finish.

Do the same on both sides.

This style is great for keeping hair from falling forward while you work.

Easy hairstyle you can do with just a hair tie

Sports day hair anyone can do: a little twist at the ends 🤍 Works regardless of hair thickness or length!

Easy hairstyle you can do with just a hair tie

A cute hairstyle that even moms who aren’t good at braiding or plaiting can easily do.

First, split the hair in half at the back and clip one side out of the way.

From the other side, take a V-shaped section from the top and tie it with an elastic.

Then, a little diagonally below, take another V-shaped section the same way and tie it together with the section you just secured.

Repeat this, and finish by flipping the last tie-through (topsy tail).

Gently pull and loosen the tied sections to add airy texture as you like.

On busy days, gathering it into just one side still looks cute.

Since you don’t use pins, it’s easy to wear a hat and you don’t have to worry about it falling apart!

[For Kids] Sports Day Hairstyles and Hair Arrangements That Work with a Hat (41–50)

[Korean Style] Braided Bun

https://www.tiktok.com/@hair.styler38/video/7488915448361258248

Here’s a bun made with braids that won’t easily get messed up even when wearing a hat.

Create two thin braids starting from high points on both the right and left sides.

Divide the remaining hair into two sections and combine each with the right and left braids.

Then, make two braids on each side again and secure them with elastics so the ends are tucked inward.

The result is a cute, upside-down heart shape.

Adding a ribbon of your choice can change the vibe depending on the color and design.

Since the hair is gathered lower down, the bun stays clearly visible even with a hat on.

tight ponytail

Introducing the tight ponytail that changes its vibe depending on where you tie your hair.

Make a ponytail and wrap a ribbon or string around it.

Tying your hair low gives a mature look, while tying it high creates a casual impression.

If you tie it tightly, it won’t come undone easily—perfect for sports day hair when you’ll be moving around or wearing a hat.

Choosing the color of the ribbon or string can be fun too.

Even if your hair is on the shorter side, as long as you can gather it into one ponytail, you can try this style—give it a go!
