Bringing Joy to Young Patients: Pillywiggin Fairies Donates Coloring Kits to Lismore Hospital

On December 3rd, 2025, the children’s ward at Lismore Hospital received a special delivery that brought smiles to young faces. Michael Pawson from Pillywiggin Fairies visited the hospital to donate coloring kits for the pediatric patients, working alongside the dedicated team from Our Kids to brighten the days of children during their hospital stays.

A Partnership for Children’s Wellbeing

The donation represents a collaborative effort between Pillywiggin Fairies (pillywiggins.com) and Our Kids (ourkids.org.au), two organizations committed to supporting children’s welfare and happiness. The coloring kits provide young patients with creative activities to help pass the time during treatment and recovery, offering both distraction and comfort during what can be a challenging experience.

Why Creative Activities Matter

For children in hospital, having access to engaging, age-appropriate activities can make a significant difference in their overall experience. Coloring and creative play offer therapeutic benefits, helping to reduce stress and anxiety while providing a sense of normalcy. These simple but meaningful activities give children something positive to focus on beyond their medical treatment.

Community Support in Action

This donation highlights the importance of community partnerships in supporting healthcare facilities and the families they serve. The staff at Lismore Hospital’s children’s ward welcomed the contribution, recognizing how these resources enhance the care environment for their young patients.

Michael Pawson’s visit on behalf of Pillywiggin Fairies, in collaboration with Our Kids, demonstrates how local businesses and organizations can work together to make a tangible difference in children’s lives.
