Questions & Answers about kono tougeikyoushitsu wa kodomotachi ni kagirazu, otona mo sankasuru.
に限らず means not limited to ..., not فقط ..., or more naturally in English, not just ....
So:
- 子供たちに限らず = not limited to children
- whole sentence: This pottery class is not just for children; adults participate too.
This pattern is fairly common:
- X に限らず Y も ...
= not only X; Y also ... = not limited to X; Y too ...
It is a somewhat formal or written-sounding expression compared with something like だけでなく.
In this grammar pattern, 限らず normally takes に before the thing that is being treated as the limit.
So you learn it as a set expression:
- X に限らず = not limited to X
Here:
- 子供たちに限らず = not limited to children
This に is not the same as the に used for time, location, or indirect object. It belongs to the expression に限らず.
