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.

The annual sports day is a special occasion for children, isn’t it?

[For Kids] Sports Day Hairstyles and Hair Arrangements That Can Be Worn with a Hat (51–60)

Easy ribbon hair

Simple & cute! A rubber-band-only ribbon hairstyle perfect for kids ♡

Easy ribbon hair

Hair turns into a ribbon! Here’s a ribbon hairstyle you can do using just hair elastics.

As prep, brush your hair and apply a styling product.

Make two low pigtails, then split each pigtail into top and bottom sections.

About 10 cm from the base, tie the upper section with an elastic.

Do a topsy tail by flipping the tied section up through itself, then pull the lower section up through the loop you created.

Gently scrunch and lift the topsy-tail part to form a ribbon shape, then tie the two sections together.

Once you adjust the ribbon shape, you’re done—but braiding the remaining ends into three-strand braids will help the style last longer!

This is a hair arrangement that pops with colorful yarn—perfect for sports day.

First, part the hair down the middle and clip or tie one side to keep it out of the way.

Tie colorful yarn onto the elastic and rotate the knot to the back so it’s hidden.

Next, take a small section of hair just below, combine it with the previously tied section, and secure with another small elastic.

Wrap and tie yarn around that elastic in the same way.

Repeat these steps down the section.

Braid the remaining hair into a three-strand braid and tie with an elastic.

Finally, twist the braided section into a bun and secure with an elastic.

The two buns sit neatly under the ears, making it easy for children to put on their own hats.
