Fun Facts
There are a few terms here that may not sound familiar, such as building blocks and Towacolon.
What Are Building Blocks?
Simply put, building blocks are toy blocks.
This time they’ll be big-sized, so kids may be able to build large block creations they normally couldn’t make.
What Is Towacolon?
Towacolon is the name of a handicraft series that includes colorful beads, plastic parts, and other materials.
The name apparently comes from ∞ (eternity) + Co + : (colon), making Towacolon.
It seems participants will choose their favorite items from a variety of materials to make a wristwatch.
They’ll probably be able to make a cute, pop-style, colorful wristwatch like the one shown in the poster photo.
All of these events seem to be aimed at kids, so if you’re thinking, “Going far away is a bit much…,” why not take your children to Acta over the weekend?
