Parent Testimonials

Parent Sharing

“Watching my child earnestly draw a big sun in the heart area of my contour and say it’s filled with love for me, my heart melted in that moment.”

Parent Sharing

“This workshop gave my introverted child a chance to speak his mind through drwaing. The confident way he explained his finished work was priceless.”

｜We understand your question.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and Event Information

Q1: What should I do if my child is shy and doesn’t want to lie down to have their outline drawn?

No problem at all! We respect every child’s pace. They can start by tracing a parent’s contour, or just a hand or foot. We also have body templates as an alternative. The goal is a pleasant experience, not coercion.

Q2:Do parents need to be good at drawing?

Not at all. This is not an art contest, but a shared exploratory experience. The parent’s role is to accompany, encourage, and play with the materials alongside their child. Sincere participation is more important than artistic skill.
