On Friday, 14 November 2025, together with more than 1,000 corporate, student and individual volunteers, we welcomed 2,000 children from lower-income families at Toy Buffet. This annual event dedicated to sharing hope and nourishing futures returned at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) Central College.
Children from 38 schools and 13 social service agencies attended this annual signature event
Under this year's theme "Colour Chronicles: Choose A Hue, Discover You!" we created a vibrant space for exploration and self-discovery. Colours have the power to awaken imagination and choosing a colour that spoke to their spirits opened the doors to creativity, confidence and self-expression.

At the heart of Toy Buffet, we want to deliver a message of love and hope. This year’s colour-driven theme was not only visually uplifting but also reinforced that message. Our partners and volunteers played an important role of bringing the day to life: cheering the children on at the carnival games and guiding them to navigate the 30 toy booths to pick their favourite toys.
More than five carnival games to choose from

Each toy comes with a handwritten message by the toy donors, for the recipient. They are also beautifully gift-wrapped by volunteers.
A special partnership with the newly-launched YWCA Hopemaker Movement, which affirms every woman as a “Creator of Hope” provided an opportunity to showcase their creations
The event could not have been possible without the generous support of corporate and school partners, donors and volunteers who share our commitment of nurturing a kinder and more inclusive Singapore. Toy Buffet 2025 is truly a testament to what can be achieved when the community comes together with a shared purpose.
Firstly, we would like to express our appreciation to our event partners for their incredible support:
Special thanks to the Asia Toy and Play Association for their invaluable contribution.
Our heartfelt gratitude also goes out to all our Donors, Corporate and School Partners:
We are grateful for the incredible generosity of their sponsorships:
Since September, corporate partners and schools organised toy donations drives to help us collect toys. This year more than 15,000 toys* - both pre-loved and brand new! - were raised. This includes nearly 2,000 sets donated by The Lego Group.
With 15,000 toy donations to give out, these toys were displayed across 30 whimsically dressed-up toy booths, adopted by
This year's Best Decorated Booth (School) was awarded to Henry Park Primary School
The spirited team of Toy Ambassadors tirelessly brought our young guests around. Every step of the way, they ensured that the children were entertained, happy and safe, and even helped to carry all their toys for them.
As the colours settled, one thing is clear: when compassion meets community, we can help every child dream a little bigger and shine a little brighter. We look forward to painting even more joyful memories together at next year's Toy Buffet.
