The Children's Art Exhibit began with the 28th show (1989). This is the eighth time we have run it. Working in cooperation with the Chiba City Kindergarten Association, we ask Chiba children in their last year of kindergarten to draw pictures on a specific theme. The exhibit helps to build relations with the local community and provides an opportunity to enjoy the talents of local children. The two themes for this year are: "Going by car! A fond memory of car travel," and "I wish there was a car like this: The kind of car I've always wanted to build." We received 3,827 works from 58 kindergartens. They are located on the 2nd floor Esplanade in the North Hall of the International Exhibition Hall. (The 35th show had 3,287 works from 53 kindergartens.

There will be a "Kid's Patio" in the esplanade on the second floor of the North Hall with the collaboration of Tomy Company, Ltd. In this patio, there will also be "Tomica Corner", where visitors can purchase the 37th Tokyo Motor Show special version mini-car.

Like the last show, this show has a "Kids Corner" on the 2nd floor of the North Hall (Esplanade).
