[Childcare] Recommended for Father's Day! Craft ideas for gifts that will make dads happy

9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
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.

After Mother’s Day passes and June begins, Father’s Day arrives.

Wall decoration with a helper ticket

Perfect for a Family Day gift! Here’s an idea for a wall decoration that comes with “help coupons.” Express your gratitude to parents and guardians through helpful actions! Children will also feel happy when their parents use the help coupons.

Include the coupons along with a message card, a portrait drawing, and origami flowers, and present them as a set.

It’s great to decide the kinds of help together with each child through discussion.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!
