CANVAS

- CANVAS Library
There’s a website called the CANVAS Library that hadn’t been updated for a while. Based on the concept, “What should we give the leaders of tomorrow right now?” it’s a site that introduces high-quality [books], [videos], and [toys] that connect to children’s play and learning.
I decided to revive it, thinking, “How about this for some time at home?”We’ve already received a new recommendation from Ryo Tamura of the comedy duo London Boots I & II.
We’ll be updating the site frequently from now on.
Please feel free to check it out if you’re interested.
