The Kids Creative Institute—which has been receiving rave reviews—is now offering online workshops! We are accepting applications on a first-come, first-served basis for those who can participate in a single session exclusively from the June program. It seems clothes are born with a specific role. You wear a skirt, put on a sweater, and put a hat on your head. But maybe they wanted to be something else. What would happen if you wore them differently than usual?

The center was temporarily closed to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, but we reopened the exhibition on Tuesday, June 2, with infection prevention measures in place. Exhibits where you can touch, create, and play—based on six themes: Light, Shape, Movement, Sound, Numbers, and Digital Ehon—are now on display at the Tsukuba Expo Center! Enjoy experiences that spark wonder and inspiration, from sculpting with everyday materials to robots you can design to walk in your own style. The exhibition is full of new ways to play that make “creating” and “thinking” even more fun. Why not come visit us?

At the Shibuya City Children’s Science Center HachiLab, the exhibition features winning entries from the 2019 Digital Ehon Awards. Visitors can do more than just read—they can play with sounds and have fun learning math. Every month, we showcase a selection of the world’s best works! Experience Digital Ehon books from various countries and find your favorite!

Let’s convey our gratitude to everyone. Right now, people all over the world are living in anxiety due to the coronavirus. Amidst this, the people working in hospitals—our healthcare workers—are doing their utmost to protect our lives. Why not express your gratitude to these dedicated healthcare workers?
