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.

Let’s make beautiful, softly colored morning glories using washi paper and water-based markers! Fold a square-cut sheet of washi paper and cut it with scissors into the shape of a morning glory.

While it’s still folded, leave some pointed sections and add color with water-based markers.

Blend the colored areas with a water-loaded brush, then dry with a hair dryer.

Gently open it, and your morning glory with lovely patterns is complete! When coloring, change the hues for the inner, middle, and outer areas to create a beautiful gradient.

The unexpected blending of colors is sure to delight the children.
