To Our "Superhero" | Father's Day Workshops

Father’s Day 2026 falls on 21 June, the third Sunday of June. It is often said that a man truly grows up the moment he becomes a father — yet how many know that behind this special day for men lies a quiet story of love and gratitude.
 
The origin of Father’s Day dates back to the early 20th century in the United States. In 1909, Ms. Sonora Smart Dodd from Spokane, Washington, proposed establishing a dedicated holiday to honour fathers like her own: hardworking men who devote themselves to raising their children and guarding their families. Sonora’s father, a military veteran, raised six children single-handedly after his wife passed away. His selfless love, wholehearted devotion and quiet sacrifice convinced Sonora that fathers like him deserved to be celebrated, respected and deeply thanked.
 
Through the relentless efforts of Sonora and supporters from all walks of life, the first official Father’s Day was held in Washington State in 1910. In 1972, the United States formally signed the third Sunday of June into law as a federal Father’s Day. Today, countries and regions around the world observe this day to express love and gratitude to fathers and father figures. Hong Kong also carries on this tradition, celebrating the day dedicated to fathers every third Sunday of June.
 
This Father’s Day 2026, Wonderland stands with you to prepare a series of hands-on craft workshops for that silent, steadfast “him” — and tucks a tender footnote beneath every heartfelt gesture: “smile like a child, cry on my shoulder.”

A Father’s World Is More Endearing Than We Imagine

Before we know it, the roles of protector and protected have quietly shifted over the years. Time passes all too quickly. If busy daily life makes it hard to carve out quality time together, let Father’s Day not be the only day you remember the one who has always held up the world for you.

Terrariums Workshop】 will be one of the workshops where fathers will find surprises. Father is also a child king. He teaches us to identify trees and flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature. His love for life takes root in our childhood. They make significant contributions due to their love for children, which not only shapes their children but also influences the world at large.They make significant contributions due to their love for children, which not only shapes their children but also influences the world at large.

This year, Wonderland is also introducing the【 Moss Terrarium Workshop】 Lay lush moss as green meadows, shape sand and stone into mountains and streams, and tuck your shared memories into tiny decorative figurines. Just as he once built a warm home for you, now you can join hands with him to create an everlasting natural world that belongs only to the two of you.

I want to make a toy with him

Looking for fun? 【The Fluid Bear Workshop】 is also a favorite workshop for fathers. Don’t think that Fluid Bear is just a toy for children. It is also enjoyable for children and fathers to participate together.

“I want this bear to be full of sci-fi vibes, just like Dad — in my heart, he’ll always be my all-powerful superhero!”

“I’m going to pour all Dad’s favourite colours onto this little bear. I wonder if he can set aside work stress for a while and feel this simple joy with me?”

“Five percent sweetness, ninety-five percent hardship — that’s probably what Dad’s life is like. But I wish the ratio could be reversed. I wish he could live more for himself, and have a little more sweetness.”

“I hope this art creation can reignite Dad’s courage and passion for life, and that he’ll always stay the spirited, bright-eyed young man he once was.”

As paint flows down the bear’s silhouette, freeform patterns collide into one-of-a-kind surprises. Just like a father’s love — it never has a fixed shape, yet every stroke holds a tenderness made only for you.

When dyeing meets fusion, when inheritance meets warmth

Where dye meets fusion, and heritage meets warmth. Tie-dye is an ancient folk craft passed down over millennia. Fabrics are shaped and secured through folding, crumpling, stitching and binding, then immersed in dye. The moment the knots are undone, brilliant, endlessly varied patterns unfold. From tying to dyeing, every step is filled with boundless creativity and delightful surprises.

Tie-dye Experience Workshop】is a firm favourite that brings pure joy to fathers, even on their very first try~

Within the interwoven colour streaks and freeform bindings lie unexpected delights and the effortless beauty of nature — such is the charm of tie-dye. It sparks fathers’ wild, uninhibited imagination. No matter how you tie or how you dye, you will always encounter a beauty you never foresaw.

A humble gift

You have grown and thrived, while he has yielded to the passing years.

A father’s love is silent, just like his quiet, unwavering presence.

From childhood to adulthood,

there is one mountain you can never truly surmount — the mountain of a father’s love.

The closest place to the stars, is upon a father’s shoulders.

He never says he loves you, yet he gives you everything he has.

As a father, the love he gives has always been deep and profound. Not one for words, he channels his affection silently into action — much like the very nature of terrazzo: a rigid gypsum base blended with vibrant mosaic fragments, calm and steadfast in texture, yet holding delicate tenderness within, wrapping you in complete reassurance.

Jesmonite Terrazzo Coaster Workshop】 is the perfect gift to craft by hand, a heartfelt offering of deep gratitude for father. You may choose his favourite colours, pair them with custom textures and patterns, and condense all your unspoken thanks into this small, humble coaster. Every time he lifts his teacup, he will feel the full warmth of your sincere intentions.

For more practical creations, there is also the 【Resin Coaster Workshop】and【Resin Keychain Workshop】~ Don’t underestimate the resin designs dads can bring to life — they can be wonderfully dreamy. Like a pool of liquid that can be shaped and moulded into endless forms, then finished with shimmering hues, it feels as though the dreams and thoughts of this very moment are captured and frozen forever.

Sometimes a Painting Speaks Louder Than a Thousand Words

I remember a lady who had experienced the Wonderland Harmony Pastels Workshop, "I have had prejudices and misunderstandings against my father since I was a child, and I never shared my feelings with him. After he passed away, I gradually got to know him through his diary. I feel regret and regret for this..."

The sudden death of her father also made her very sad when she was young. On Father's Day, she created a work of her own to express her longing for her father from【Pastel Nagomi Art Workshop】. "I originally planned to fill this work with my regrets and nostalgia for my father, but I didn't expect that in the process, these gradually turned into my blessings for him. Yes, I let go of the struggle in my heart for many years."

A father’s vision shapes the height his child will reach in the future.Indeed, it is true — sometimes a painting conveys more than words ever could. If you find it hard to put feelings into words, the 【Pastel Nagomi Art Workshop】or【Art Jam】都】are wonderful choices.

A great father’s love can change a child’s entire life. When you walk through darkness, it is the lamp that lights your way. When you strive and struggle, it is the pillar of strength standing behind you. When you taste success, it is the gentle reminder that keeps you grounded. This time, it is your turn to repay that profound love with a painting of your own.

For group painting experiences, we also recommend Team Building Merge Paintings — an experience where fathers, creating together as a team, will naturally pick up the palette and reveal themselves as truly remarkable artists ~

Quicksand in the Palm of Your Hand: Know Yourself and Each Other 

“A truly high-quality workshop always delivers far more lasting happiness than any pricey possession.” This is the belief we have always stood by. After all, in the precious little time families share, it is a rare gift indeed for father and child to find themselves humming the same melody unawares, and spend a quiet hour creating together in gentle companionship.

Only when you are face to face can you feel each other’s warmth, and truly grasp the pure, unadulterated love at the heart of family bonds. This tender handcraft experience is precisely the gift we long to bring to every household.

Moving Sand Painting Healing Workshop】is a wonderful choice — ideal for deepening mutual understanding and soothing both body and mind. As they become fully absorbed in the process, fathers and sons or daughters who are usually reserved and unexpressive will gradually lower their guard and relax completely. In their demeanour, you can clearly see how that invisible barrier between loved ones — the quiet awkwardness of unspoken affection — melts away naturally.

A Father’s Scent, Holding a Unique Memory

Handmade Perfume Workshop】carries a charm entirely its own. The right fragrance radiates confidence from the inside out. Whether bold and free-spirited, refined and gentle, wild and uninhibited, or calm and understated, every distinct personal style finds its perfect expression through scent.

The making of a classic fragrance, much like raising a child, calls for time, love and careful patience. In the same way, our journey of growing up would never have been possible without a father’s daily guardianship and devoted care.

Stylish Series with Hong Kong Flair

Tender moments shared over mahjong hold the quiet, everyday romance unique to Hong Kong fathers.

Mahjong is a cultural symbol ingrained in the DNA of every Hong Kong local. It has been a warm companion for the older generation at neighbourhood gatherings over tea and meals, and stands as the most vivid epitome of Hong Kong’s grassroots street culture. For many, childhood memories carry a familiar scene: father and uncles seated around a table, the crisp clink of mahjong tiles mingling with laughter and idle chat — a rare moment for him to unwind and lay down the weight of life.

This Father’s Day, we take mahjong as our medium and invite you to join the【Coloring Mahjong Workshop】, using colours at your fingertips to infuse the warmth of paternal love into this cultural icon that has accompanied Hong Kong people for decades. Unlike the fixed designs of traditional mahjong sets, you are free to break from convention. Weave Dad’s lucky numbers, his favourite elements, or iconic local Hong Kong symbols — Victoria Harbour nightscapes, street neon lights, classic cha chaan teng motifs and more — into your hand-coloured creation.

Write at the end

It is our hope that through these healing handcraft art workshops, everyone can find a space to let go of reserve and express love openly. May all those unspoken words of gratitude and affection, through the work of your hands, reach the heart of that important person in full.
