MOE PSB Teddy Bear Christmas Project

October 29, 2018

In 2018, we had the joy of designing and facilitating a heartwarming team bonding activity for MOE Psychological Services Branch (PSB). The mission was simple yet powerful: to create handmade teddy bears as Christmas presents for children with rare disorders from the Rare Disorders Society of Singapore (RDSS)—our charity partner, where we provide free clinical art therapy sessions for their beneficiaries.

A total of 88 participants took part in this meaningful project. Working in teams, and even collaborating across groups rather than competing, they successfully produced 11 unique teddy bears—all within just two hours! Each bear was lovingly handcrafted from scratch, accompanied by a personalised message or story from the team that made it.

The result was more than just toys. These teddy bears carried with them warmth, encouragement, and the spirit of giving. For the children of RDSS, they were a symbol of care and joy. For the MOE PSB participants, the project was a testament to teamwork, creativity, and the power of art to build meaningful connections.

This special collaboration truly embodied our belief in building relationships through art, and using art to do good.
