To see is more than just looking with your eyes;
it is a way to try, to do, and to experience.

Here in the lobby of the Seoul Children’s Museum,
three artworks invite you to explore.

Come closer and look carefully.
See things differently and imagine.
Listen well and use all your senses.
Look together to find something new.

When you stay curious and try new things,
seeing becomes a play—
a way to create your very own way of looking at the world.

In what ways will the exhibit help my child?

• Physical Development As children respond to visual
  changes through movement, they
  experience the joy of exploration and
  develop balance and coordination.
• Cognitive Development Children see the same object
  in different ways and try
  new approaches, developing
  observation and thinking skills.
  Through seeing and doing,
  they expand their senses
  and discover meaning.
• Emotional Development Children freely imagine and express
  their thoughts and feelings,
  developing a sense of achievement
  and creativity.
• Social Development Children share experiences with
  family and friends and learn to
  understand others’ thoughts
  and feelings. Through paly,
  they build relationships
  and communication skills.

How to spend time with your child

Encourage your child to play together, take on small challenges, and experience a sense of achievement.

• 01

  Follow your child’s way of seeing. Encourage them to choose what they want to explore and engage freely.
  Independent choice deepens their engagement in play. ​
  

• 02

  Pause and look. “What do you see?” “What does it look like if you see it differently?”
  Ask open-ended questions to encourage your child’s perspective and imagination.

• 03

  Value your child’s small attempts and expressions. When you respect and respond to their ideas,
  their confidence and sense of achievement grow.

• 04

  See and play together. When caregivers take part in play,
  they share ideas with their child and the joy of the experience deepens.
