Every Singaporean worth their salt will recognise this iconic dragon playground! We’ve been seeing them in store windows, t-shirts and souvenirs, and were inspired to help you make your own dragon playground DIY craft with your child.
This dragon head design was created in 1979 by Khor Ean Ghee, HDB’s in-house designer. He wanted the playground to reflect Singapore’s identity, and drew inspiration from the Oriental dragon commonly seen among the Chinese community in Singapore.
This is a great way to share about an older, simpler Singapore with your child. I shudder to think of a world without playgrounds and only Playstations!
Let’s enjoy this blast from the past!
