So Relaxing
So Relaxing!— is Tak Takut Kids Club’s first video with animation, created by kids for kids, highlights the importance of sleeping and resting well. Having been a facilitator in the community for a few years, I was asked to collaborate with the kids on the second chapter of this edutainment video - ‘Why are sleep and rest important?’ and produce it as a fully stop motion animated segment. Chapter 2 and the full video can be found below.
Four children teamed up with myself and Jessica Goh to bring this vision to life— we wrote the script together, story boarded, designed and crafted clay and paper sets, went outside to look at what interesting things we can pick up from the environment, recorded voiceovers, and shaped the messaging around the importance of healthy rest habits.

The So Relaxing! Chef Programme is part of the larger Better Eat Better (BEB) initiative, which has been empowering children and families since its launch in 2022. BEB focuses on fostering healthier habits through food literacy, sustainability, and well-being, encouraging child-centric participation and collaboration. Building on BEB’s success, the So Relaxing! Chef Programme expanded its mission to include sleep hygiene as a key component of community wellness.
