Beary Merry Christmas: Craft & Wish Workshop
A heartwarming Christmas make-and-gift experience for participants aged 8+.
In this magical hands-on workshop, participants create their own pipe-cleaner teddy bear with festive accessories like candy canes, stars, and tiny Christmas trees. They then choose someone special to gift their bear to and write a simple Wish Note, practising gratitude and the joy of giving.
The session ends with a cosy tea-time moment, where participants enjoy apple blossom herbal tea and watch their apple “rose” bloom — a gentle symbol of their wishes growing into joy for themselves and others.
A playful and heartfelt Christmas experience celebrating creativity, kindness, and the magic of small acts of love.
* 20% of net proceeds from this workshop will be donated to the Tibetan Children’s Village.
