[Report] Kids Creative Lab in Nishi-Azabu

From a CANVAS Facebook post

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

[Kids Creative Lab in Nishi-Azabu]
On Sunday, February 1, we held our “Kids-Only Museum” event.
At the “Kids-Only Museum,” children can create whatever they want.
Here, we’ll introduce some of the pieces they made—some for playing with and some to wear.

We design everything with the user in mind.
A mask made to fit the wearer’s head size. For the glasses with colorful
frames, we used scissors to cut out a beautiful arch.
The two types of bags are matched with a pink checkered pattern.
For the uniquely shaped kendama, we experimented with the position and length of the string many times.
We made the maze game as large as possible so it would be lots of fun. The
car controller is easy to hold, and we paid close attention to the placement of the buttons.

After thinking about what we wanted and giving shape to how we’d use them, we ended up with lots of new creations
this time as well.
