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.

Easy and stay-put! Cute kids’ hairstyles you can do using only hair ties (21–30)

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!

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.

Easy! Won’t fall apart! Cute kids’ hair arrangements using only elastics (31–40)

Twisted three-strand twin tails

Here’s a stylish, cute, and secure twisted braided twin-tail hairstyle that’s perfect for staying active at a sports day.

First, divide the hair into two sections.

From each side, take only the hair at the sides, and tie the back portion at a low position.

Twist the side sections, gently pulling out small pieces for volume, then tie them together with the back hair.

Secure with a statement hair tie, and braid the ends using a Dutch braid.

Switching to a regular three-strand braid partway also looks cute.

Another key point is to tie both sides at the same height so there’s no unevenness.

Fishbone

How to do a fishtail braid: braided fishtail. #kidsHairstyle #easyHairstyle #hairstyleVideo #hairstyle #kidsHair #fishtailBraid

Fishbone

Let me introduce the fishtail braid, a style with fine weaving that’s sure to stand out even at a school sports day.

As the name suggests, its appearance resembles a fish’s bone, so you might think it looks difficult or complicated.

But while a regular braid uses three sections of hair, a fishtail braid is made with just two.

You simply repeat a set sequence, so once you get the hang of it, it’s actually easy.

You can create different moods depending on how thick each section is and how loosely you braid.

If you make it low, it’s less likely to get messed up even when wearing a hat.

Lowborn

[Low-bun ❤️] A simple go-to styling from Korea 🇰🇷♪ flulu by Aoi #EasyHairArrangements #SelfHairArranging #Ponytail #LowBun #KoreanHair

Lowborn

The “low-bun” is one of the popular bun hairstyles in Korea.

It’s very easy, so give it a try.

First, gather your hair, tie it with an elastic, and make one bun.

Then use the remaining hair to create a second bun on top of the first one, and you’re done! Gently pull and adjust the bun sections to shape them.

Pulling out some tendrils or styling bangs will give a cute look.

Since it’s a secure style you can do with just one hair tie and it’s easy to move in, it’s also great for sports festivals.
