概要
【What is Free Play Zone?】
We invite parents and children to play freely and creatively with clay, paper, and paint! There will be no guidance by instructors or staff, but there will be staff to support your activities when needed. We ask you to help with the clean-up after the event.
The Free Play Zone is a program designed to encourage children to be creative through arts and crafts, and to motivate them to “do things themselves” while having fun. While the program is held throughout the year, the session on Tuesday, February 14, 2023 will be open specifically to parents and children of foreign nationality or native speakers of foreign languages.
【What to wear & What to bring】
●What to wear
Children and parents/guardians should wear comfortable clothes that may get dirty or wet.
A change of clothes is recommended (watercolor paint is water-based, but does not wash off well). The paint area will be outdoors. Warm clothes and rain boots are recommended.
●Shoes
Children may take off their shoes. Please put shoes in the shoe rack. Please bring non-slip (waterproof) shoes if your child wishes to play with shoes on. Parents will be asked to keep their shoes on.
*There will be a place to change clothes as well as lockers to leave your belongings in.
*Please be sure to keep your valuables with you, or lock them in a locker.
*There are vending machines, a nursing room, restrooms with baby holders, and diaper changing stations inside the building.
