Last week (and well, technically a few days longer) creativity hit Helsinki in Finland. From September 3-13, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.helsinkidesignweek.com\/\">Helsinki Design Week<\/a> attracted more than 120,000 visitors to more than 200 participating events. One of these events is the Childish Project from Kristos Mavrostomos and Anna van der Leij.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23153\" style=\"font-size: 1rem;line-height: 1\" alt=\"Blog-picture-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Blog-picture-2.jpg\" width=\"625\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Blog-picture-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Blog-picture-2-625x415.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Blog-picture-2-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Blog-picture-2-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As the name of the event already states, the Childish Project is fully focused on children who attended Helsinki Design Week. Before you get the wrong impression, this event was anything BUT childish! Ages ranged from 1 to 16, and the kids were able to draw the perfect plate for their favourite dish of food.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23155\" style=\"font-size: 1rem;line-height: 1\" alt=\"Blog-picture-4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Blog-picture-4.jpg\" width=\"625\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Blog-picture-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Blog-picture-4-625x415.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Blog-picture-4-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Blog-picture-4-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">With\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;line-height: 1.71429\">careful guidance from Kristos and Anna, 300 children unleashed their fantasy on paper and these were all presented in a huge exhibition as seen above as part of a competition.
