A Frog Family, Sculpted by Hand

巧手捏出青蛙家族
新港國小學生展示自己捏的青蛙造型捏麵人

A frog in love. A frog in a hat. A frog with a beard. A frog fresh from its tadpole days. A frog catching flies. A frog in a red cape. A frog with long hair… and more — a whole frog family came to life at Shingang, one pinch of dough at a time.

We're grateful to a local councilwoman for helping bring the Wu Family Dough Figure Studio's cultural workshop to our campus. She even became a one-day helper herself, cheering students on to let their creativity run wild.

Under Curator Wu's guidance, there was no limit to what the students could imagine.

What makes Curator Wu's own story even more inspiring: after years of working with his dominant right hand, he retrained his left hand from scratch until it became just as skillful. A true lesson in perseverance for every student watching.

談戀愛的青蛙、戴帽子的青蛙、留鬍子的青蛙、從蝌蚪變成的青蛙、捕捉蒼蠅的青蛙、紅披風的青蛙、長頭髮的青蛙……還有還有,青蛙家族一同現身新港!

感謝美女議員大力協助,把巫家捏麵館的捏麵文化推廣活動帶進新港,議員還化身一日小助手,鼓勵孩子們勇於發揮創意。

在巫館長的指導下,孩子們的創意真的不能再更多了!

更勵志的是,巫館長從慣用右手,重新學習把左手也練成了一雙巧手,這份毅力真的太值得孩子們學習了。
