[Report] After-School Creative Project

From a CANVAS Facebook post

*******************************************

On Saturday, July 21, we held the “Art of Connection” workshop at the Sayama City Central Children’s Center!
The children used tape to connect various spots around the room, then crawled under, stepped over, or even crawled on all fours to navigate the connections without breaking them…
As they built, they discovered all sorts of shapes and created new ones.
They even cleaned up properly at the very end!

Here’s a little glimpse of the children at work.

*The After-School Creative Project runs workshops at after-school facilities to nurture children’s creativity and imagination, with the goal of enriching the after-school hours for as many children as possible.
