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.

After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Here are some bulletin board ideas for childcare, themed around dandelions—perfect for spring!

There are ideas using a variety of materials, so be sure to try incorporating them into your classroom.

Draw or paste bright yellow dandelions and create artwork together with the children.

They’ll feel the spirit of spring, and you can also convey the message, “Grow up healthy!”

They’re easy to do, so give them a try.

Make fun spring memories together with the children.

Here’s an easy dandelion flower you can make with origami.

All you need are origami paper, scissors, and wood glue.

Creating the petals can be a bit intricate, so be sure to do that part together with a teacher or guardian.

For the petal colors, not only yellow but also layering bright colors like orange is recommended—it really sparks kids’ imaginations.

Let’s make a big, exciting dandelion using A4-size construction paper! Prepare three colors of paper for the petals, stem, and leaves.

After cutting, roll it up tightly from one end and secure it, then gently spread open the cut fringes from the outside.

For the stem, roll the construction paper from a corner to form a rod.

Dandelions and butterflies

Shall we make a wall decoration of dandelions and butterflies to welcome the arrival of spring? You can create softly three-dimensional petals, so it’s a great motif for nurseries and kindergartens.

First, prepare colored construction paper for the dandelion parts and cut out circles.

Next, crease the paper and then cut along the folds in sequence.

Curl the cut petals and layer them to complete the flower petals.

When making the leaves, the key is to cut them with jagged edges in mind.

For the butterflies fluttering around the flowers, draw them by imagining the number 3.

A simple dandelion flower

Here’s an easy dandelion idea that uses a basic folding method to create a flower shape and is simple to customize.

Fold the paper to align the top, bottom, left, and right edges to make creases, then align the opposite corners to add diagonal creases.

After cutting to the center, make pleat folds along the crease lines and align the inner corners to neaten the shape.

Slightly curl the petals for a softer look.

Glue two identical pieces face-to-face to complete the flower.

Connect a diamond-folded leaf and a made stem to create a cute dandelion.

Making them in different colors is recommended—it looks more festive when displayed together.

Here’s a spring craft idea where you pick real dandelions and arrange them in a cardboard vase.

Cut the cardboard to a size that’s easy for children to hold, and draw a vase on the lower half.

Punch several holes in the upper half.

Take this piece of cardboard on a walk, pick the dandelions blooming along the roadside, and insert the stems into the holes.

Once you’ve filled all the holes with dandelions, secure them from the back so they don’t slip out.

Find lots of dandelions and fill your vase with spring!

Here’s an idea for a dandelion wall decoration to brighten up your room.

Cut origami paper with scissors to make parts like the flowers, stems, and leaves, then use glue to attach them to the wall.

It’s also useful when you want to add some color to a wall that displays notices or artwork.

When attaching to the wall, use masking tape or painter’s tape so the wallpaper doesn’t peel and the pieces are easy to remove.

Adding motifs like origami butterflies will make it look even more charming.
