What Is a Creative Donation Initiative?
A creative donation initiative is a program that provides creative materials such as washi tape to organizations that support children in healthcare settings, where the materials are used in hospital craft kits to bring comfort, creativity, and emotional support.
Unlike traditional donations, this approach focuses on enabling children to create, express themselves, and find moments of relief through hands-on activities.
At IEEBEE, we believe creativity should be something everyone can access, especially for those going through challenging moments.

What We Donated: Washi Tape for Hospital Craft Kits
For our first shipment, we focused on one core material: washi tape.
Why Washi Tape?
Washi tape is one of the most versatile and accessible creative tools, especially suitable for children in healthcare settings, because it is:
• Easy to use for all ages
• Safe and mess-free
• Flexible for different creative styles
• Perfect for both individual and bedside activities
How It Will Be Used
Donated washi tape will be included in hospital craft kits and used in activities such as:
• Creative play and simple craft activities in hospital rooms
• Journaling and storytelling for emotional expression
• Bedside creative engagement during treatment or recovery
• Therapeutic activities that help reduce stress and anxiety
A simple roll of washi tape can become a powerful tool for creativity, comfort, and emotional support.
