During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

We’ve gathered ideas for making teru teru bozu, the little dolls you hang up to wish for sunny weather.

In June and during the rainy season, many preschools and kindergartens make teru teru bozu as craft activities or wall decorations.

In this article, we introduce a variety of ideas—colorful teru teru bozu, transparent ones, and versions that use materials like plastic bags, paper plates, or capsule-toy containers.

Try making them together with the kids!

It’s also fun to add a rainy background or hang them together with raindrop decorations.

Handprint Teru Teru Bozu

How about making a teru teru bōzu using a handprint and round stickers? First, take a handprint.

One hand is enough.

Once the handprint dries, turn it upside down and use it as the body.

Next, make the face by sticking round stickers or cut paper onto a circle of construction paper.

It’s also great to have the children draw the face with pens.

Finally, attach the face to the body and it’s done! Handprints can also serve as a record of growth, so it’s nice to incorporate them into various crafts.

Be sure to make a handprint teru teru bōzu and let parents see how their children are growing.
