The Day
Today (August 8) is Father's Day in Taiwan. It seems for most places on this planet, people celebrate Father's Day on the third Sunday in June. Only people from Taiwan celebrates it today. Why? Well according to this source in Chinese, it has something to do with ROC's (Now in Taiwan) war with Japan. But for an obvious reason, as Wikipedia describes it, is...
In Taiwan, Father's Day is not an official holiday, but is widely observed on August 8, the eighth day of the eighth month of the year. In Mandarin Chinese, the pronunciation of the number eight is ba, and the pronunciation is very similar to the character "爸" "ba", which means "Pa" or "dad". The eighth day of the eighth month (ba-ba) is a pun for dad (爸爸 or "baba"). The Taiwanese, therefore, sometimes refer to August 8 as "Baba Holiday" as a pun for "Dad's Holiday" (爸爸節) or the more formal "Father's Day" (父親節).
今天是台灣的父親節，除了打電話回家給老爸之外，我自己也當了爸爸幾年了。對了，台灣的父親節，或是親切地叫「爸爸節」就是在八月八日，似乎是世界唯一的，大部分其他地方的人是在六月第三個週日慶祝父親節的。從發音你很快可以知道為什麼選這一天，但如果你真想搞清楚，可以看看這裡。
The Book
Actually I just want to share with you a great sticker book of my son's. He has accomplished many very creative works with stickers in that booklet. But the credit mostly goes to the design of the book. The book is originally from Japan and they have done a really good job for setting up these artistic exercises for kids!
不過，今天其實只是藉由節日主題，想分享我兒子的一個貼紙書的內容，以及他的一些創作。這本貼紙書真的非常棒，我們買了好幾本。是日本設計的兒童貼紙書，設計得很棒，非常有創造性，也非常有美感，讓孩子們可以用這書創造出令人驚豔的作品喔！
Let's have a look at the game! These are the front and back covers of the book. Basically, this book provides you with lots of stickers of facial parts and you, the kid, can choose any combinations to form the faces you like on the object pages.
讓我們一起來看看吧！下面是書的封面跟封底。基本上，這貼紙書就是提供給孩子各式各樣的五官貼紙，讓他們可以自由選擇，在給定的一些物品上，組合成任何他想要的臉！
These are the facial parts sticker pages. They aren't scary. Actually pretty cute, like strawberry as nose, all colorful and boldly designed. Seems to me that you may produce an ogre face or a pretty girl's face out of them! Some are empty because my son had already taken them out.
下面是提供各種貼紙的頁面。有些空了是因為被我兒子用掉了。看看，五官貼紙聽起來很恐怖嗎？其實很可愛捏，色彩繽紛又充滿創意，看來你想做出香港第一美女或是大怪物的臉都有可能喔！
The Faces!!
Let's see some of my son's face artworks! 看看我小子的一些創作吧！
The Mushroom Face - I love the cap as hair! (we do call someone's hairstyle like this a mushroom here in Taiwan) And this face just looks so innocent!
香菇臉－這頭髮很酷吧！台灣常常有人頭髮剪壞了變這樣就叫做香菇頭的！但這顆香菇頭好無辜喔，很想保護他！
The BOY, Ball of Yarn, Face - Using two buttons as eyes? Nice! Looks so sleepy!
毛線臉－鈕扣當眼睛，真是絕啊！看起來非常想睡呢，好舒服的樣子...
The Shopping Bag Face - I like the happiness, from shopping I suppose, it shows!
購物袋臉－充分表現出購物的樂趣的臉，Happy！
The Cupcake Face - Looks like a disgruntled lady baking cupcakes at home!
蛋糕臉－這臉就像是個在廚房已做蛋糕來抒發生活不滿情緒的媽媽！
The Blackboard Face-Doesn't it look like an encouraging teacher urging you to learn more?
黑板臉－看起來像不像是一個循循善誘的好老師啊！子曰：不發文，不成器...
The Flower(?) Face - Well, this one actually looks a bit creepy to me, but I can feel that she is trying to tell us something... lol
花朵臉？－這... 似乎看起來不是太... 花朵... 有點恐怖，但那眼神似乎想訴說些什麼的...
The Sock Face - Haha! Indeed it is my favorite of all faces! So with a crown on its head. Such a warm, innocent(silly) and genuine face! It doesn't sock at all! :)
襪子臉－我最喜歡的一張臉！皇冠戴得非常合理！看看它如此溫暖、無辜、真誠又有點傻氣的臉！真不捨得穿它在腳上了吧？
The Conclusion
It is so fun to create different faces with various kinds of facial parts. Humans are indeed very sensitive to human faces! You will be amazed by your little one's ability to create all kinds of faces beyond your imagination! Happy Taiwan version father's day everyone! :)
結論是：人眼真的對於臉非常敏銳，使用不同的五官造型，可以創造出非常多種感覺的臉喔！跟孩子一起創造，你會發現小孩子們的創造力無限，可以造出你想像不到的臉的樣子喔！台灣版本的父親節快樂啊，大家！
We have that book, too. It's fun, isn't it?
Really? So cool. See guys? I am not lying... lol.... It always amaze me by producing vastly different faces!
These books are a lot of fun. There's actually a whole series. Some are for shopping, others are for wearing clothes. Do you have any of the others? You can get them ¥100 here in Japan.
Amazing art work! Your kid is very talented...Happy Father's Day @deanliu .

我在父亲节这天偷吃掉孩子好多小食品 😄
你這長不大的小飛高，乖！沒關係，多吃點，你養他這麼大了，吃他點小食品是應該的，反正也是你買的。

召喚 @wilkinshui 你的父親節呢，不要只顧著自己畫水墨畫
-___- 果然每人各有所好啊~~~
Wig可能過的是香港的父親節，Happy TW Father's Day to Microsesame! LOL
我的父親節？？？他不令我生氣，我便贏一半了！
我亦買了不少這樣的sticker books 給女兒們，不過她們大都把sticker四圍亂貼，不會乖乖的跟指示玩。😭😭😭
Tell me about it! 我常常身體被貼.... LOL
我亦是一樣，不知為什麼她們總喜歡把貼紙貼到我身上，說是送給我的😂
原创和文字都是超级Cute啊！花朵脸像一个迷茫而又性感的transgender beauty 😜.
P.S: 感谢 @deanliu对我introduceyourself的默默大力支持👍。
謝謝！呵呵，有喔？我不記得了，都是隨機看過點的....
This reminds me a whole lot of my childhood. I loved things like these. It got me started very early into what I still do today, create faces. When I was a teenager I got so good at drawing faces I had considered drawing for closed courts as a sketcher. Nice throwback with this post.
啊~ 這可怎麼辦, 可是我好喜歡花朵那張的臉啊!
小小Dean太有才了!!! XDD
怎麼大家都愛那張啊.... XD
這張最有感情，你看那雙眼！
原來全世界只有台灣的父親節是8月8號嗎？哈哈！我還趕著在8月8號發了父親節賀卡的教學文呢！其他人應該覺得我發文的時間有點莫名其妙吧？傻傻的
这些简直是太可爱了！最喜欢蘑菇。
去年剛到台灣時，八月份看到商店推廣父親節推，覺得很出奇，才發現原來台灣父親節跟其他國家不一樣。
I think it's so cool that kids put eyebrows in hair like with Mushroom face, and not just on skin. LOL.
Your kids are very talented, guess that they got the talent from you? upped. Good one indeed.
