A vibrant mural made from reused plastic toys was completed on 2 July 2025 at Promenade MRT Station, in support of the Go Green SG movement, celebrating Singapore’s 60th birthday. Graced by Ms Goh Han Yan, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, she completed the final pieces of the mural together with esteemed partners  SMRT Trains, YTL PowerSeraya Pte Limited, and Lions Befrienders.

The Art Mural measuring 13.6 metres wide and 2.1 metres high, is displayed at Promenade MRT Station

Titled “Building Our Nation Over Generations”, the mural was created by over 5,000 preschoolers’ family members and 5,000 educators. These came from across Kinderland’s five early childhood brands: Kinderland, ELFA, NurtureStars, Skool4Kidz, and The Grange International Preschool.

Over six weeks, centres collected 424kg of plastic toy waste. More than 35 percent of this waste was cleaned, sorted, and reused for the mural. This mural was officially recognised by the Singapore Book of Records – Singapore’s Largest Mural Made of Reused Plastic.

Reagan Wong, Kindergarten 2 student at ELFA Preschool @ Hougang, shared “It is good to use old toys as we are reusing it and not throwing it away. We are saving the Earth.”

Reagan’s mother, Ms Toh Shu Ling, also shared “Starting sustainability education early helps children develop lifelong sustainable practices and mindset. Reagan really enjoyed creating this art piece together with his classmates. He added that the teachers and the classmates had to come together to complete it.”

The mural remains on public display at Promenade MRT Station, serving as a powerful reminder that even discarded toys can help build a more sustainable tomorrow.
