Bearie Bear Workshop
Over 90 parents and children gathered at the Mint Museum of Toys @ Seah St yesterday for the Bearie Bear Workshop, an event part of the Explore Singapore! 2008 Campaign. The museum was the perfect venue for the event as it’s already full of wonderful toys from the past.
Each kid upon registration for the event received an unstuffed bear. Which came in a variety of colours, blue, yellow, green and orange.
The children were taught how to stuff their own bear and place a ‘heart’ in the bear. They were even given a special sheet of paper on which they could write down the weight, height and other stats of the bear. The kids all had smiles on their faces and you could see they clearly enjoyed themselves. The simple things….
Trust the vendor to make a quick buck, once the bears are all stuffed and sealed. Parents could also buy for their kids clothes and accessories to beautify the bear. These retailed at a cheaper cost of $12, usual price, $29.90. lol. Overall, a fun afternoon. Always good to see happy children running about in a museum!
The Mint (Moment of Imagination and Nostalgia with Toys) Museum of Toys showcases more than 50,000 pieces of vintage toys and childhood memorabilia. Discover toys of the mid-19th to mid-20th century from more than 25 countries, including China, Japan, Germany, UK, USA and more. This world-class collection, which includes rare and one-of-a-kind toys, will certainly appeal to the child in all of us and provide all visitors with a mix of nostalgia, education and inspiration.
Especially my special someone who came down to give much needed support. Thanks dear!
