■ Tajima Kizuna Hoikuen
At Tajima Kizuna Hoikuen, a Setsubun event was safely implemented using "beans" made from newspaper.
Children energetically shouted "Oni wa soto!" (Demons out!) towards the demon targets, and we saw them challenging themselves at their own pace.
There were many moments where individual growth was evident, such as children imitating their friends or taking a step forward while timing their actions.
After the activity, children were seen cooperating to clean up the scattered beans, naturally fostering collaboration and life skills through play.
■ Ouji Kizuna Hoikuen
At Ouji Kizuna Hoikuen, Setsubun events were held according to the developmental stages of infants and toddlers.
In the infant classes, 5-year-old children took on the role of demons, and younger children challenged themselves to defeat them using balls.
While surprised, they participated with enjoyment, shouting "Oni wa soto!"
In the older children's classes, activities were themed around "demons in the heart." The appearance of the God of Fortune provided an opportunity to experience the meaning of the event.
■ Tabata Kizuna Hoikuen
At Tabata Kizuna Hoikuen, children experienced Setsubun from the preparation stage.
Through the shopping experience to buy holly and sardines, opportunities were created to touch upon the background of the event.
On the day, they wore handmade masks and enjoyed bean-throwing and target practice.
