If there is ever a perfect time to bring the kids out for something fun, meaningful, and educational — this is it. From 21 June to 6 July 2025, Atria Shopping Gallery is hosting The Green Weekend, a creative and eco-conscious series of events designed specifically for children aged 12 and below. This is not just any school holiday programme; it is an immersive experience where children can discover how small actions, like recycling and reusing, can lead to big impacts on the planet.
This free-entry event, held at the Ground Floor Centre Court of Atria Shopping Gallery, offers more than just entertainment — it’s a rare opportunity to teach children the importance of sustainability in a way that’s fun, engaging, and hands-on. If one is looking for a family-friendly activity that provides real value, then this is a golden opportunity to grab.
Why Join The Green Weekend?
Let’s face it — most weekends come and go with the usual routine. But The Green Weekend is different. For two full weeks, every Saturday and Sunday between 2PM and 5PM, kids will get to dive into a variety of fun workshops that spark creativity while encouraging eco-friendly habits. It’s not only about having fun but also about nurturing a generation that’s environmentally responsible.
What makes this event stand out is its blend of education and creativity. Rather than simply telling children what’s good for the planet, these workshops let them experience it. They’ll see how a bottle cap or an ice-cream stick can be turned into a new form of art. They’ll get a feel for how dried leaves or old posters can inspire original and meaningful creations. And perhaps best of all — it’s free. One just needs to bring along a curious child and an open heart.
Weekend Highlights to Look Forward To
Each weekend of The Green Weekend has been carefully curated with a new workshop or eco-friendly challenge to keep kids intrigued and involved. Here’s a breakdown of the highlights:
-
21 June – Bottle Cap Workshop
Children will be guided in transforming ordinary bottle caps into colourful and imaginative pieces of art. It’s a hands-on way to see how everyday items often thrown away can still bring beauty into the world. -
22 June – Ice-cream Stick Workshop
Don’t toss that stick just yet. At this workshop, children will learn how to upcycle used ice-cream sticks into clever crafts and decorative items — turning trash into treasures. -
28 June – Poster Drawing Competition
Get the art materials ready because this competition will ignite creativity. Children can draw their vision of a greener planet, express their thoughts on saving the Earth, and compete for prizes. A fantastic way to express values through art. -
5 July – Dried Leaves Workshop
Nature meets imagination in this creative workshop. Kids will work with dried leaves to make beautiful collages and patterns, showcasing the potential of natural materials. -
6 July – Costume Recycling Contest
A crowd favourite for sure. Kids will get to parade in costumes created from recycled materials — plastic, paper, fabric scraps, and more. A wonderful way to blend fashion with eco-awareness and to show off how being green can also be stylish.
Bonus Event: From Trash to Treasure
There’s one extra-special event not to be missed. On 29 June, from 1.30PM to 3.30PM, Atria Shopping Gallery will host From Trash to Treasure: The Art of Reimagining Waste. This unique segment will feature:
-
Recycling, Composting & Upcycling Workshops
Children and parents alike will get hands-on experience in learning how waste can be given a second life through fun and practical methods. -
Interactive Games and Eco Talks
Through simple yet engaging games, children will learn how their actions can influence the environment. The eco talk session is also a great opportunity for parents to absorb new ideas on how to build sustainable habits at home. -
Prizes and Surprises
What’s a celebration without a few rewards? There’ll be prizes for participation and outstanding creations — a great incentive for kids to give their best and enjoy every moment.
Why Families Shouldn’t Miss This
There are plenty of ways to entertain children during the holidays, but few can match the wholesome, imaginative, and environmentally-friendly approach offered by The Green Weekend. With free access to all activities, families don’t have to worry about entrance fees or costly sign-ups. All that’s needed is enthusiasm, creativity, and a bit of weekend time.
This event also serves as a valuable bonding opportunity between parents and their children. Parents can join in and encourage their little ones, cheer them on during contests, and discover creative recycling ideas they can implement at home. In a world that’s growing increasingly fast-paced and digital, slowing down for a tactile and meaningful activity like this is a gift in itself.
It’s also worth noting the venue — Atria Shopping Gallery. With its family-friendly atmosphere and a host of cafes, eateries, and retail outlets, families can make a day out of it. After the workshop sessions, a quick meal, coffee, or window shopping will round out a fun and fulfilling afternoon.
In short, this is more than just a kids’ event — it’s a meaningful experience with lasting impact. Atria Shopping Gallery deserves full credit for hosting something that speaks not only to entertainment but also to education and social responsibility.
So if there’s a child aged 12 or below in the household, this is a must-attend event. There’s nothing to lose and so much to gain. Introduce them to the magic of turning trash into treasure and let them learn how their small steps can create a big difference. It might even inspire the adults to revisit their own relationship with waste and creativity.
