This event has been held ever since the show moved from Harumi, Tokyo to Makuhari in 1989 (28th show) as a program for greater interaction with the local community and a way to encourage local residents to visit. It is conducted with the generous cooperation of the Chiba City Association of Kindergartens. This year, we asked for children in Chiba City in their last year of kindergarten to submit artwork brimming with creativity and ideas. We chose as our theme “Shaping Your Dreams: My Dream Car” to provide children with the scope for free expression of their ideas about automobiles. All of the artwork submitted (3,530 pieces from 56 kindergartens) will be on display at the 2F Kids’ Park in the North Hall. (The 39th show displayed 3,193 pieces from 51kindergartens.)
