The New Block Park at Sagamiono Station Square Festival

Recently, the Sagamiono Station Square celebrated its 29th anniversary with a spectacular event known as the 'Sutetsu Festival.' As part of this celebration, Gakken Stayful Co., Ltd. hosted an exciting children's experience event titled 'Dream New Block Park.' The event took place in Kanagawa's Sagamihara City, attracting large numbers of families eager to unleash their creativity and bonding through play.

At the heart of the event was a massive block pool featuring approximately 10,000 New Blocks. Families from both near and far flocked to the venue, enjoying the opportunity to freely construct and play. The atmosphere was bustling with laughter and joy, as children engaged in block-building activities while parents watched with pride.

During the event, families enjoyed various activities, including crafting playsets with blocks and collaborating on creative projects. The sight of smiling children working together with their parents to build unique creations was a common and heartwarming theme throughout the event.

A notable feature was the 'Rolling Q' diorama, where participants could enjoy rolling balls, adding another layer of fun to the experience. Additionally, a special POPUP store was set up, offering exclusive block sales, including rare dinosaur parts and glitter-infused pieces. This allowed families who already owned New Blocks to supplement their collections with those sought-after rarities.

Many attendees expressed their delight with comments like, 'It was so much fun to play with so many blocks!' and 'I hope you do this again next year!' This event provided three days of smiles and creativity for all participants, nurturing a love for building and imagination.

Another highlight was the impressive Christmas-themed object crafted using the New Blocks, showcasing the boundless possibilities that these toys offer. Gakken Stayful is committed to organizing parent-child events utilizing New Blocks, aiming to nurture children's creativity while providing memorable experiences for families.
