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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.
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.

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.

Cute 3D craft! Cherry blossoms made with tissue paper

https://www.tiktok.com/@nono.seisaku.book/video/7486533018283281671

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

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.

Too cute! Tissue paper cherry blossoms

[Made with Tissue Paper] How to Make Cherry Blossoms 🌸 Also Perfect for Preschool and School Graduation Ceremonies 🌸Nursery teacher / Childcare worker #NurseryTeacherDailyLife Satomi-sensei #NurseryTeacherThings graduation ceremony (for kindergarten/preschool)Graduation Ceremony #CherryBlossom Graduation
Original Song – [Childcare Creator] Satomi-sensei – [Childcare Creator] Satomi-sensei

Why not try making soft-looking cherry blossoms using tissue paper? First, cut the tissue paper into squares, then accordion-fold it and fold it in half.

Cut the edge opposite the fold into a petal shape, staple the center, and open it into a cherry blossom.

Next, take a smaller piece of tissue paper, accordion-fold it the same way, staple it, and snip both ends to create the flower center.

Layer the center onto the blossom and glue it in place, and you’re done.

Make lots of them to create a cherry tree or a flurry of falling petals.

Garland made with paper strips

Cute cherry blossom decorations made with paper strips (with voice commentary) — How to make cute cherry blossom flower decorations using paper and staples

Garland made with paper strips

Here’s a charming cherry blossom decoration made from paper strips.

You’ll need pink construction paper, a stapler, scissors, a pencil, a ruler, and thread.

Prepare one strip measuring 2 cm by 30 cm and another strip measuring 2 cm by 20 cm from the pink paper.

Fold the 20 cm strip in half, then fold each half again to form an M shape.

Fold the 30 cm strip in half as well, mark 5 cm from the loose/fluttering end, fold at the mark, then continue folding it into an accordion with 5 cm-wide sections.

Slightly fold the mountain-fold edges to shape them like cherry blossom petals, staple the ends together, and finally turn the loop inside out to finish.

Make lots of them and thread them onto a string to decorate!
