10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
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.

If you choose horses—a familiar animal—as the theme, it will spark their curiosity.

The world of horses is full of surprises: they can sleep standing up, they start walking right after they’re born, and they have a field of vision of 270 degrees.

Here, we’ve gathered quiz ideas about horses’ bodies and lifestyles.

From how they communicate their feelings through ear movements to the fascinating way you can tell their age by their teeth, these are all topics that will make children’s eyes light up with “Wow!” Please try incorporating them into your childcare activities.

nose

Horses can basically only breathe through their noses. Unlike humans, they cannot breathe through their mouths, so they breathe nasally. There is also a theory that this helps give their respiratory system more leeway when running and avoids the risks associated with 'mouth breathing.'
