[Report] Kids Creative Lab in Nishi-Azabu

From a CANVAS Facebook post

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

On Sunday, April 6, we held the Kids Creative Lab in Nishi-Azabu.
The “Kids-Only Museum” is filled with all kinds of materials.
We’ve gathered over 70 different types—from everyday household items to things you’ve never seen before.

Among them are materials donated by companies, artists, and designers involved in crafting.
We created display panels to explain where these materials came from and who donated them.
How will the children’s artwork change once they learn the stories behind these materials?
The second year of the “Museum Just for Kids” has begun.
