Picture books are the very first type of art that we encounter in our lives,
and it is a genre that enchants all generations. The stories told by texts and
pictures open the door to new ideas and lead you to a world of brilliant imagination,
such as a dancing monster or a flying snowman.

<Whimsy & Wonder: A Picture Book > is an exhibition where you can experience
such creative stories in picture books with all your senses, to be inspired to unfold
your imaginations and create your own story. Every little idea, full of whimsy and wonder,
could be the beginning of something magical. In this very special studio, you are free
to venture into the world of imagination.

  Calling Young Picture Book Artists!

  Make your own picture book and submit it to the Story Station. Get named as the ‘Little Artist of the Month’ and have your book exhibited.

In what ways will the exhibit help my child?

• Physical development Through drawing and writing activities, children develop fine motor skills while stimulating their senses—touch, sound, color, and more—to support sensory development.
• Cognitive development Reading picture books and creating stories sparks imagination and creative thinking, while also enhancing literacy and critical thinking skills.
• Emotional Development By expressing their own thoughts and understanding others’ ideas, children can develop social skills. Creating their own work also gives them a sense of accomplishment and helps build confidence.

How to spend the best time with your children.

  Let them make their own choice! Please let them choose the game they want to play.

  Let them take their time! Please be patient and let them take their time to enjoy the game and explore.

• 03

  Ask them questions! “What would you be hearing if you were in this scene?” “What will happen after this?” These are some of the questions you can ask your child to trigger their curiosity and stimulate their imagination.

• 04

  Give them a pat on the shoulder! Give positive feedback to the trials, exploration, induction, and problem-solving journey of the children and encourage their pursuit. This will boost the confidence and self-esteem of the children.
