I like drawing. I also like to think. Atelier mio is a drawing set that allows you to draw with paint on your fingers and hands. Mixing, smearing, and drawing paints can be freely enjoyed as if freeing your child's mind. Through this free and fun play, students will also develop the ability to imagine and think. We received the Encouragement Award (Kids Design Council Chairman's Award) at the 16th Kids Design Awards "Design for Children's Creativity and the Future". Atelier mio is a drawing book designed to make finger painting more enjoyable. Each page is pre-drawn with different colors and silhouettes. The silhouette is surrounded by a smooth emboss, so you can enjoy the feel of it with your fingers while drawing. One of the points is that having color in the background increases the completeness of the picture and makes the picture more want to be decorated. Yubi paint Atelier mio is a paint for finger painting made of a safe material made mainly from rice wax. We asked Mr./Ms. of Japan Riken Kogyo Co., Ltd., which manufactures Kitpas®, to create an original color for Atelier Mio. There is no need for water or a brush, and the softness that is easy to remove with your fingers is also an original of Atelier Mio. You can also mix colors to make a variety of colors. Paint on your hands can be easily removed with a wet cloth or wipes. There is no right answer to this picture. There are as many answers as there are children, so don't deny them and actively let them draw whatever they come up with. ========================= Art Education in Italy Practicing the "Reggio Emilia Aplo" The "Reggio Emilia Approach" is an Italian approach to education that has been attracting attention around the world in recent years, especially in Europe and the United States. Based on the philosophy that the most important thing is to respect the will and individuality of each child and to make the most of each child's sensibilities, we have created an educational environment that fosters children's expressive, communication, inquisitive, and thinking skills. We sympathize with the Reggio Emilia Approach, which values the individuality of children, and have developed Atelier Emio as an educational toy that can practice this education.
