- [Report] November 1 (Sun): A Museum Just for Kids
On November 1, we held the “Kids-Only Museum” event!
—With My Big Brother!
A brother and sister who participated together.
My older brother, who loves making things, skillfully combines materials, and
I’ll keep creating the things I imagine, one after another.
When I saw the things my big brother was making, I thought, “I want to make something just like that!”
Through trial and error, I tried my hand at making the same thing as my big brother.
They crafted a magnificent sword, and the brother and sister began playing swordfight games together.
Have fun making things and playing together at home, too!
—Taking on the Challenge of Box Making
We've decided to use wooden boards for the box!
Since the shape doesn't fit well, I'll cut it with a saw to make a neat square.
I even tentatively gave sawing a try!
Cut them out carefully and glue them together.
In the end, we even decorated it, and we ended up with a beautiful box!
—I made a whole bunch!
Takoyaki, curry rice, and pasta—what a treat!
Things I like, or things my mom likes.
"Since they're all so simple, I can make a lot of them!"
No, no—it's really amazing to be able to come up with so many things you can make, isn't it?
They really enjoyed making things to their heart's content right up until the very last minute!
The next "Kids-Only Museum" event will be held on Sunday, December 6.
With everyone’s cooperation—including wearing masks, washing hands, and using alcohol-based hand sanitizer—we will hold the event while strictly implementing infection control measures, such as limiting the number of participants and ensuring proper ventilation.
