The weather is absolutely beautiful, and the temperatures are just right for this time of year. 🌞 The “Kids-Only Museum” held on
Children’s Day felt a little more special than
usual.

■Even with people you've just met…

At the children-only museum, some kids come every month, while others come only
occasionally, so the friends who participate aren’t always the same group.

Even children who are a little nervous at the start of the workshop gradually relax as they search for materials to work
with.
They might comment, “That’s cool!” while looking at a classmate’s project, or go show what they’ve
made to the facilitator or other children. By the end, they’re even working on projects together with classmates they’d
just met.

At this month’s museum event, there was a lot of interaction among the children.
This month’s session saw a particularly high level of interaction among the children.
We’ve set up the venue
so that everyone can feel comfortable, whether they’re having fun with the group or taking time to explore on their own.
