Do you remember the times of playing doctor with your plush toys when you were younger? Maybe your plush had a torn ankle or a deflated nose. Whatever the case, the days of role-playing as surgeons to revive our plushies remain vivid in our minds.
Now, not only are there real toy doctors in Singapore, but a whole plush hospital!
At the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, located outside Exploria Park, Toy Doctor is Southeast Asia’s first integrated plush care centre, providing professional toy restoration, engaging workshops, and immersive role-play experiences.
Believing that every plush holds a story worth preserving and restoring, the centre not only repairs your toys, but equips you with skills to recycle or restore pre-loved goods.
Toy Treatment
Looking to give your plush a relaxing spa, new outfit, or makeover? Consult a professional for a Toy Treatment (S$28) at the centre to find out how to repair your plushies.
Alternatively, you can seek these Toy Doctors for advice on how to better care for your toys, tailored to its fabric, age, and stuffing.
Available at the centre daily, consult the Toy Doctor from anytime between 10am and 6pm.
Plush Customisation
On the more intricate and detailed side of the Toy Doctor’s services, you can customise accessories or costumes for your plushies by contacting the centre!
Whether you’re looking for a matching couple plushie look with your partner, or an iconic costume to dress your toy in, the Toy Doctor is here to save the day!
Plush Rejuvenation Workshop
Plush rejuvenation workshops (S$50) are also available at the centre. During the 1-hour-30-minute session, learn how to repair, clean, and care for your plush and give them a second chance of life.
Participating in this workshop also means that you can bring any plush of your choice (with a polyester stuffing and maximum height of 40cm) to work on, resulting in a glowed-up companion to bring home.
Be a Toy Doctor for a Day
Curious about what it’s like to be a toy doctor? Join the centre and become a Toy Doctor for a day (S$35).
Receive a tour of the back of house treatment room, master simple sewing skills to restore plushies, and be certified as a Junior Toy Doctor at the end of the day!
Build Your Own Plush
