Activity introduction:
In a world of gentle colours and finger pastels, children and parents explored their inner feelings and expressed their creativity together. Through simple and intuitive artistic creation, the “Japanese Harmony Pastel Parent-Child Workshop” allowed adults and children to relax while enjoying the fun of drawing together.

Instructor qualifications:

  • Harmony Pastel provisional instructor
  • Bachelor’s degree in early-childhood special education
  • Registered qualified kindergarten teacher
  • Registered child-care worker

Activity flow and themes:
Each class included a themed creative project, including:

  1. My favourite toy
  2. Nature
  3. Thank-you card
  4. Ocean world
  5. Harmony Pastel hanging ornament (special project)

Skills learned:

  • Finger blending techniques
  • Using an eraser as a creative tool
  • Line-pressure techniques and composition practice
  • Emotional expression and theme development

Activity highlights:
✔️ No drawing experience required; beginners are welcome
✔️ Emphasis on “healing” and “parent-child interaction”
✔️ Every participant could complete one or more personal artworks and take them home as keepsakes

Through this soothing and loving pastel space, children learned to observe and express their emotions, while parents had the opportunity to slow down and quietly accompany their children in creating, leaving warm and colourful memories together.
