Set at the Shibuya City Children’s Science Center “Hachilabo,” CANVAS is producing an annual exhibition series designed to nurture children’s scientific thinking and enthusiasm for making things. For the third installment, we’ve combined traditional games—inspired by Bruegel’s *Children’s Games*—with digital technology to reinvent new ways to play alongside engineers. Come play, experience, and discover the magic of play! Then, try your hand at reinventing games yourself!

“What If I Can’t Wake Up?”—a Filipino Digital Ehon loved by children across the globe—is finally available in Japanese! Maya is very worried about whether she’ll be able to wake up early the next morning. Together, Maya and her mom come up with lots of fun ideas to figure out how to wake up early. The interactive features—where tapping the screen makes things move as if by magic—are a must-see. You can also record your own voice to read the story aloud. We hope you enjoy it!

Children are artists. Using the various materials and tools displayed at the “Museum Just for Kids,” they create freely. What will they discover today? What will they be able to do…? No matter when or how many times they visit, this is a space for play and learning that sparks that sense of excitement every time.
