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.

Spring has arrived, and it’s the season when cherry blossoms bloom.

How about enjoying some cherry-blossom-themed crafts with the children?

Here, we’ve put together ideas for cherry blossom crafts that are great for early childhood education.

There are plenty of ideas using a variety of materials, so try choosing ones that suit the children’s ages.

As you soak up the hanami mood and create colorful cherry blossom pieces, you might be surprised by the children’s unexpected creativity.

Enjoy the arrival of spring with the children—hands busy and hearts excited.

Sakura made with decalcomania

Creation: “Let’s Play with Decalcomania” [Art Activity · Easy Craft · Decalcomania]

Sakura made with decalcomania

Sakura made with decalcomania, which comes from the French word for transfer and is used as an art technique.

Because the work reveals vivid patterns, children can feel both fun and surprise.

First, prepare an illustration cut into the shape of cherry blossom petals.

Next, load a brush with paint and color only half of the illustration.

The key here is to add a gradient or vary the colors.

Then fold the paper down the center of the illustration and press firmly with your hands to transfer the pattern.

Finally, open the illustration, and if the pattern has appeared, it’s complete.

Try this craft idea—the illustration changes every time you make it.

Make a bunch—so cute! Cherry blossom paper cutouts

https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku.labo/video/7337882635483614482

When you need lots of cherry blossom parts, why not try making them with kirie (paper cutting)? Even with the same shape, simply changing the origami colors or patterns and mixing the petals will create a striking wall decoration.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it once.

Fold the top corner down to meet the bottom edge to make a crease, then unfold it.

Using that crease as a guide, fold down only the front layer of the top corner.

Align the left edge of the paper with the left corner of the small triangle you just folded down, and fold; then roll-fold it once more.

On the right side, fold it over to overlap the left side, align the shape, then fold back and fold the tip downward.

Draw a petal shape on top, cut along the lines with scissors, and when you open it up, you’ll have a cherry blossom.

Here’s a stamp art project featuring cherry blossoms using decorative balls.

You can use any kind of decorative ball for the stamp.

Clip it with a clothespin so your hands don’t get dirty.

Once your stamp is ready, draw the tree trunk on construction paper with a pen.

Then, using pink, red, and yellow paint, stamp the cherry blossom petals on top.

This alone makes a lovely piece of art, but if you want to make it even cuter, try adding flower-shaped rhinestones.

Cherry blossoms made with handmade stamps

Here’s an idea for creating a vibrant cherry blossom tree using handmade stamps.

The stamps are easy to make, so try them with the children in your class! Paste a tree trunk onto white construction paper, then use a rolled-up flyer dipped in paint to stamp the shape of the cherry blossoms.

You can make the stamps by combining sponge sheets from a 100-yen shop with six plastic bottle caps.

Cut the sponge sheets into petal shapes beforehand.

To make the petals stand out, the key is to stamp with darker paint! A cherry blossom wall display that brightens up the graduation ceremony backdrop can be made enjoyably with handmade stamps—why not give it a try?

(Use lots of colors🌈) Spritz water onto your drawing👍 Place construction paper on top, press lightly with your hand, then peel it off and let it dry🥰👍 Once the paper is dry, cut it into any shapes you like✂︎ It’s cute as is, but you can add a tree trunk with brown construction paper, or stick on lots of origami cherry blossoms from the previous post😊 Try different cutting styles, decorate with sparkly stickers, add ribbons… Use all kinds of materials you have at home💕 It would look great on the wall, and you could write a message on it too🥰🫶 Try making it in different colors😊💕 It could be a nice gift🎁 for a teacher who helped you or for friends♥️ —————————— What I used: • Water-based markers • Aluminum foil • Construction paper • Spray bottle with water • Scissors Decorations: origami paper, tissue paper flowers, sparkly stickers —————————— ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆ Thank you so much for all the comments and likes😊 Some people even tell me they made it, which makes me super happy☺️♥️ I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone played and made😆✨✨ ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆Parenting #LifeWithKids #Kindergarten #Nursery school #Craft Admission Enrollment #Graduation from kindergarten #Flower #asmr #asmrsounds #papercraft

Draw pictures or patterns with a water-based marker on aluminum foil, then mist it with water.

Place a sheet of white drawing paper on top to transfer the foil’s patterns onto the paper.

Cut the paper to resemble the blossoms of a cherry tree, and attach it to a separate sheet where you’ve made the trunk.

Finally, stick paper-cut cherry blossom pieces onto the blossom area and add rhinestones for extra sparkle—and you’re done! Since most of the drawings or patterns made with the water-based marker will blur, it’s fine to draw freely.

However, because it’s a cherry blossom theme, be sure to use plenty of pink.

Here’s a craft idea for making cherry blossoms: glue crumpled tissue paper onto a base made from pink construction paper.

The tissue paper sections become three-dimensional, so they pop off the wall and look adorable.

Make the trunk and petals from construction paper, and display them together with the tissue paper blossoms.

You can crumple the tissue paper tightly, but if you want a softer, fluffier look, loosely crumple it.

Using several shades of pink also enhances the overall vibrancy.

Decorate with these springlike cherry blossoms to beautifully celebrate the preschool graduation that marks the children’s new beginning.

Cherry blossom wall featuring a window motif

Introducing how to make a cherry blossom wall decoration! Create it using origami and paper tape with a window motif. Perfect as a spring decoration for March and April! [Tsukuru-mon]

Cherry blossom wall featuring a window motif

The motif of cherry blossoms and windows that brightly decorate the wall is a perfect idea for a preschool graduation ceremony.

Fold pink origami paper to make crease lines.

Cut it into a half-circle so it forms a cherry blossom shape, and when you open it, you’ll have a sakura flower and petals.

Make a bird out of light green origami paper, then use string and paper tape to create rings that will serve as windows.

Perch the bird on a branch made from construction paper, and decorate to evoke cherry blossoms dancing in the wind—then you’re done.

Let’s beautifully adorn this special, sunny day with a handmade wall display!
