On occasion during the series there are times where we see Yui, Ui, Nodoka,
Ritsu and Mio as children such as when Mio was remember when Ritsu was giving
her confidence to speak infront of the class (where Ritsu pretends to be a
Pineapple) or when Yui was drawing and offered Nodoka the Red Crayon she
had....before thinking about eating it herself.

I am wondering how long ago these flashbacks occurred?

How long ago were the flashbacks?


**These are the 2 scenes you probably mentioning in your question.**

![](https://i.stack.imgur.com/gaVRP.jpg)

1) You can re-watch episode 8 of K-On!!, roughly at **07:20** , _Nodoka_
answers _Mio_ that she first met _Yui_ in **kindergarten**. (Approx. 12 years
ago)  

2) In the same episode, at **12:38** , _Ritsu_ relate her first impression
about _Mio_ back in **elementary school**. (Approx. 8 years ago)  

3) The actual year is not confirmed yet, maybe plus minus a year or so.

The answer given is correct, so I am only adding on. You are probably asking
about this one (in the comments):

This is when Ui asked for a white Christmas and Yui decorated the tree with
cotton from a pillow to make it look like snow. This was either in
kindergarten or very early primary school, because Yui does say that she
forgot her homework a lot.

Other flashbacks include this:

which was during primary school camp where Yui forgot the cooking sachets, and
this:

where Yui forgot to bring octopus to make takoyaki. This was also in primary
school during cooking class.

If you want to check the full flashbacks, they are in season 2, episode 8, and
season 1, episode 7.
