We solicit musical instruments that are no longer in use, such as ones that are broken or are lying around at home, and turn them into “sound brushes” for children to play with. Held on Saturday, February 22nd, numbered tickets will be distributed on the day for children aged 3 and over. 3. Sound plate

A mysterious “unbreakable” monster made of approximately 8,000 balloons PLAY! PARK is a new indoor plaza where children can play with their own ideas. At the center of the approximately 1,000 square meter space is an elliptical field called “The Big Plate.” Every six months, we collaborate with architects, creators, and art and architecture students to develop and create original play equipment. I’m doing it. So far, we have developed six types of large play equipment using familiar materials such as newspaper, cloth, and flat tape. And from February 2025, “Balloon Monster”, which has been particularly well-received, will return to the big plate. Play equipment made by inflating balloons, wrapped tightly in packing wrap and tied together, is fluffy, fluffy, squishy, ​​and oddly shaped. Since the balloons are remade every day, their shape changes and evolves depending on the day. You can climb up on a balloon, lie down on it, or even pass under a giant monster and enjoy balloon games like never before.
