[Report] Kids Creative Lab at Meiji

From a CANVAS Facebook post

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

[Kids Creative Lab at Meiji] At this
year’s first session of the Meiji Lab, we made slightly quirky matryoshka dolls out of envelopes!
Each child’s envelope overflowed with all sorts of shapes, objects, and colors.
Even the children participating in the workshop for the first time seemed a bit nervous at first, but as the session went on, they began showing us their creations with smiles, saying, “Look what I made!”—which made us very happy.
