Fun for elementary school kids on Disney+! Recommended titles that parents and children can enjoy together

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.

Live-action Lilo & Stitch

http://www.disneyplus.com

Lilo & Stitch is a film I definitely want parents and kids to watch together.

It tells the story of Lilo, a lonely girl who has lost her parents, and Stitch, a rambunctious alien, who meet and begin to repair Lilo’s crumbling home life.

Lilo is a bit of an oddball who loves creepy things, and she doesn’t get along very well with her older sister, who is also her guardian.

But when Stitch joins them as a new member of the family, things start moving in a better direction.

The themes are serious, but the story is told with humor, so please enjoy it with your family!
