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.

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.

A simple dandelion flowerNEW!

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.

Perfectly round and cute! Dandelion paper cutoutNEW!

It’s a lovely idea to make spring-like dandelion paper cutouts and decorate your walls or windows to create a sense of the season.

Fold an origami sheet in half into a square twice, then fold it into a triangle.

Open the tip of the triangle outward and fold it into a triangle again, then draw the cutting lines with a pencil.

Cut along the lines with scissors, gently unfold, and shape the petals so they stand up slightly to finish.

It’s recommended to make deeper cuts without cutting too far through.

You can also add white fluff using cotton to create spring-like dandelions.

Cute when lined up! Dandelion origamiNEW!

Let’s make an origami dandelion, like the cute ones that peek out along roadsides in spring.

Fold the origami paper in half, then fold both sides toward the center crease.

Fold it again along the center line, then open it slightly, puff it up, and gently squash it into a triangle, aligning the tips so they don’t shift.

For the flower, carefully form the petals with your fingertips, making sure the overall shape and size are even.

Be careful when making slits with scissors.

Once you make the stem and leaves with green origami paper, it’s complete.

It’s also great for decorating walls.

Dandelions and butterflies

Cute dandelions and butterflies made from simple paper: wall decorations (with audio commentary)

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.

Give this wall decoration a try—kids can work on it safely and with confidence.
