The "Children's Meet Room," currently held at enoco on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, will be transformed into a "Coloring Room" for this summer vacation special!

Creative Room 6 on B1F will be completely transformed into a coloring room.

As a space where children can color freely and at their own pace, large sheets of paper will be taped to the walls. Children can color designs by Yoshimoto comedian and art-loving comedian Saruin, or their own drawings, using markers and colored pencils, and then affix them to the walls.

The theme is "Let's Create the Enoco Aquarium!"

Let's create an aquarium full of colorful sea creatures through coloring.

This time, we will hold a workshop to create preliminary drawings with Saruin.

In the workshop, participants will create preliminary drawings and characters based on the theme.

Additionally, Saruin will periodically visit the Coloring Room during the period to add designs and color alongside the children.

In the "Coloring Room," as with previous Meet Rooms, children can also read books, do origami, play freely, and experience culture and art.

The completed works will be exhibited on the walls of the B1F free space from Tuesday, September 1st to Sunday, September 27th.
