The Workshop
Four Weeks of Creativity
Every craft is thoughtfully made with a commitment to sustainability and care for the environment. Over four weeks at Our Tampines Hub, we guided 50+ kids through an eco-friendly bookmark-making journey, teaching them essential techniques while showcasing the beauty of sustainable materials.
Week 1
Plantables Seed Paper
We kicked off the workshop combining plantable seed papers and recycled coffee pulp paper to create kid-designed bookmarks. Kids loved learning that their bookmarks could be planted after use! Each design featured vibrant animals and characters that kids created themselves.

Week 2
Laminated Flowers
Week 2 transformed the workshop into a botanical studio. We combined real and pressed flowers with eco-friendly laminating sheets to create delicate, beautiful bookmarks. Parents and kids were amazed at how easily the laminating technique brought the flowers to life—and how many came back specifically for this week!

Week 3
Origami Animals
Week 3 brought old magazines and scrap paper to life through origami. Kids folded food-themed bookmarks—from adorable pineapples to mischievous cats—each with its own personality. The upcycled paper bookmarks proved that creativity does not require new materials!

Kueh-Themed Designs
Our final week featured customised kueh-themed bookmarks using colored paper made from recycled coffee pulps. With adorable kueh illustrations and matching sticker sets, kids created delightful designs that celebrated Singapore's beloved local treats. Coffee grounds and pulp were upcycled into beautiful, functional bookmarks!

The Experience
Behind the Scenes
Each week we prepared at least 10 samples to display on tables and in our walk-around sessions. When curious parents and kids saw the samples, most were keen to join! The afternoon sessions (2pm–6pm) and evening sessions (6pm–10pm) kept us busy supervising 50+ young creators, while our ticketing and membership team welcomed new participants. Overall it was a fun experience being able to supervise the kids and seeing what they come up with!
