The Children's International Festa 2012 in Tokyo gave kids hands-on experience with other cultures Saturday, from making beeswax candles New Zealand-style to learning Mayan numbers.

The annual event, the fourth of its kind, was organized by Somos & Co. to provide children with an opportunity to learn about other countries through actual experience, spokeswoman Madoka Soma said.

Nine embassies, including those of Ecuador, Mexico and Honduras, offered different workshops during the event at Yebisu Garden Place in Shibuya Ward.
