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 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.
Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
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.

In this season when we can feel the arrival of spring, I’ve gathered some ideas for making handmade mobiles and garlands with children! Hang the mobiles from the ceiling, and decorate walls or windows with the garlands to bring a touch of spring.

By using colorful materials and designing freely, you can nurture children’s creativity.

Enjoy the spring atmosphere by hanging and displaying your creations.

Along with the warm spring sunshine, create wonderful memories filled with smiles by spending fun, hands-on crafting time with your children.

You can make them the same way using flower-shaped cutouts as well.

Torn-paper cherry blossoms

[Craft Idea] Sakura - Cherry blossom crafts (April, spring) (torn-paper art) (3D) (activities for seniors) (preschool/educational) (wall decorations) (creative) (easy crafts) (spring flowers) (flower crafts) (DIY)

Torn-paper cherry blossoms

Let me introduce a torn-paper collage of cherry blossoms that captures the warm feeling of spring.

Get your materials ready: origami paper, construction paper, colored pencils, scissors, glue, and double-sided tape.

First, make a draft, cut out the cherry blossoms, and start sticking torn pieces of origami onto them.

The key is to place the pieces so there are no gaps.

If you glue cherry blossom-shaped origami cutouts on top of the collage, it might create a more three-dimensional look.

Once you attach the cherry blossom trunk, it’s complete! Cutting additional origami into cherry blossom shapes and decorating around it will make it even more vibrant.

Cherry blossom tree made with a paper roll stamp

Let’s learn about the characteristics of cherry blossom petals! Here’s an idea for making a cherry tree using a toilet paper roll stamp.

Cherry blossom petals are distinctive because the tips split into two, making them look like long, heart-shaped petals.

Let’s create those characteristic petal shapes together with children! You’ll need construction paper, scissors, glue, paint, and a toilet paper roll.

The key to this craft is shaping the toilet paper roll into a cherry blossom petal! Feel free to adapt the process to suit children’s ages and developmental stages.

Easy and fun! Make a dandelion without sewing using pipe cleaners, yarn, and felt ☺️#tiktok video contest #tiktok classroom Life with children
Shuwa-shuwa Honey Lemon 350ml – Sharou

Would you like to make a three-dimensional dandelion with adorable fluffy yarn flowers? Let’s start by making the flower.

Prepare a suitable pen and hold it together with a yellow pipe cleaner.

Wind yellow yarn around the pen and pipe cleaner 40 times, then remove the pen and tie the loops together with the pipe cleaner.

Thread a green pipe cleaner through the yellow one and wrap it around to cover the yellow pipe cleaner, forming the stem.

Cut through the center of the yarn loops, then trim the ends into a rounded shape to create a pom-pom effect.

Finally, thread a felt leaf onto the stem, and you’re done.

It’s a very cute, spring-like idea!
