A single image holds infinite design possibilities.

More importantly: we encourage children to create their own themed characters and design their own signature clothing styles. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7812/47482578031_4b46eced29_b_d.jpg **★ Background Cards** Choose an outfit for the occasion. How would you dress for a shopping trip with friends? What would you wear for a beach vacation? We've provided four different settings, both indoor and outdoor, to help children understand the concept of dressing appropriately for various situations. This is a small habit of daily life, allowing children to naturally grasp the relationship between clothing and their environment. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7904/32540596167_65c2102c0c_b_d.jpg **★ Garment Silhouettes** Using 6 different garment silhouette cards in various styles, children can freely create. They can draw patterns, add colors, and design motifs for these silhouettes. Through repeated combinations and pairings, they will learn to combine various colors and shapes effectively. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7819/47429741122_ef8098fe31_b_d.jpg **★ Accessory Stickers** From headwear to necklaces, bags to shoes—a dazzling array of accessory stickers allows children to complete their looks from head to toe, enjoying the fun of being a little designer! https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7846/33605946798_837679e1e5_b_d.jpg **★ Colorful Pencils** Complemented by the design handbook and garment silhouettes, these pencils allow children to explore the diverse possibilities of color. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7913/33605946708_572ac4da52_b_d.jpg **Expert and Parent Recommendations** **《Chi-Yi Cheng》 Art and Humanities Specialist Teacher / Chairperson of Yilan County Education Professionals Union** https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7801/47482582911_48547b9941_b_d.jpg **"The Petite Mode Design Box is like a treasure chest full of colorful creativity, marking the first step for children into the world of design."** It's accessible and educational, sparking aesthetic exploration through play and igniting creativity through hands-on activities. It connects colors and patterns, integrates everyday outfit coordination, and further inspires style design. Aesthetic education can indeed be simple, approachable, and closely connected to daily life. For children, it offers the freedom to create beauty and plants the seeds of design! **《Mr. Kerry Nockolds》 Academic Director, Taipei European School** https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7912/46567303755_ba76b9b723_b_d.jpg I love the work that Petite mode do with the children, both in terms of inspiring creativity and then the practical skills of bringing their work to life. My daughter loves their workshops and the passion which the Petite mode team brings to their workshops transfers directly onto the children. Consequently my daughter has gone back to rejoin more workshops in which she has developed her style and her design skills, not to mention her enthusiasm for fashion! **I affirm the efforts of Petite Mode Workshop in children's education, not only in inspiring creativity but also in providing students with practical skills they can apply in life. My daughter greatly enjoys their workshops, and the passion the Petite Mode team brings is directly transferred to the children. As a result, my daughter has participated in multiple Petite Mode workshops, where she has cultivated her own style and design skills, not to mention her enthusiasm for fashion!** **《Tung-Hua Chang》 Professional Editor / Certified Primary School Teacher / Mother of Two** https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7898/46759201664_3281805837_b_d.jpg Starting with color analysis, it gradually guides children to design patterns and coordinate outfits, only then entering the stage of garment design once the foundations are laid. The Petite Mode Design Box provides children with a complete design concept, allowing them to learn aesthetics naturally and happily through play. **Designer's Words** **Cultivating Aesthetics** The colors of nature, the landscapes of life—these are all sources of design inspiration. Beautiful things can be grand mountains and vast waters, or they can be small scenes from everyday life. Through themed guidance, we encourage children to discover beauty, explore colors, play with styles, and ultimately develop their own unique perspective on aesthetics. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7926/47482582871_ac6b837a3f_b_d.jpg **Local Meets Global** In the classrooms of Taipei European School, children nurtured by diverse cultures each shine in their own way. Embracing the world's differences with an open perspective, cherishing the land beneath our feet, and valuing cultural diversity. Therefore, we created three characters: Peipei, Marta, and Sophie. They come from different cultures and backgrounds, yet they all share a love for exploring the world of beauty and cherishing the wonderful things in life. We hope children will recognize and love themselves, and that no matter where they come from, they can shine brightly through their creations. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7883/47482773761_0cf3627560_b_d.jpg **Independent Thinking** This design handbook encourages children to think independently and design intuitively. A single theme can lead to numerous possibilities. Through continuous experimentation, they gradually form their own design viewpoints and build the capacity for independent thought. **Healthy Exploration** Hands-on creation allows children to explore the realm of design in a healthy way, experiencing the sense of accomplishment from turning imagination into execution, rather than engaging with pre-set rules in the world of online games. In the world of creation, there are no absolute right or wrong answers; it is a journey of exploration through creative thinking and hands-on crafting! **Origin** The Children's Design Workshop was co-founded in Taiwan in 2014 by two sisters who had studied and worked in France. **We are dedicated to promoting aesthetic experiences for children and guiding them to explore their personal style.** Our Petite Mode courses have received widespread acclaim at institutions such as Taipei European School, the American Innovation Center, and Taipei New World Montessori School. But how can we enable more children to participate in this process of aesthetic cultivation? We created the "Petite Mode Design Box," through which children can learn basic design concepts through play. We hope this design box will spread the seeds of aesthetic appreciation, filled with dreams, to big cities and small towns, allowing children to explore their personal style through games and experience the satisfaction of hands-on creation. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7893/33605980218_e8065020cf_b_d.jpg **This is a fashion design box that children can enjoy playing with alone, with friends, or share the joy of creation with their parents!** **When children play alone, they enter a state of focused concentration. Playing with friends sparks lively discussions and interactions. When playing with parents, the parents often become design assistants, which is also great fun!** **Special Thanks** ★ Taipei European School TES ECA Director: Mr. Nockolds – For providing us a platform to share design concepts with children. ★ Ah Rong and Xiao Yun from Mai Meng Bakery – For their powerful video production support. ★ The professional嘖嘖 (Zeczec) team for their guidance and assistance. ★ You You.
