[Report] June 2: A Museum Just for Kids

From a CANVAS Facebook post
*******************************************
　
[Report] “Museum Just for Kids” – June 2
“Museum Just for Kids” is a little different from other Kids Creative Labs.
We provide about 70 different types of materials, various tools, and two hours of free time.
It’s entirely up to the children to decide how to use the materials, tools, and time.
They think carefully, try making something, and then think some more after they’ve finished.
They keep creating for the full two hours, trying out all sorts of things.

—Tapioca Juice Made with Colorful Clay!
Mix colors into white clay, knead it, and roll it into balls, and— pastels-colored tapioca is ready!
They even made straws out of pipe cleaners, and rows of “juice” were lined up.
It’s so exciting—it looks like a shop is about to open!
Check out the rest of the report on our website!
