Siblings create together at Princess Máxima Center
The Royal Talens Foundation supported a special creative activity at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in the Netherlands. The foundation provided 84 Bruynzeel fabric marker sets for a Siblings Day event, bringing creativity and joy to young patients and their brothers and sisters.
Coloring together
Between 40 and 55 children participated in the event, which included young patients from the Princess Máxima Center alongside their siblings. The activity centered around decorating pajamas and bucket hats using the donated fabric markers, allowing children to personalize their own wearable art.
The event was organized in collaboration with M'Braze, a clothing brand that operates under Fair&Co. M'Braze produced the pajamas and bucket hats specifically for this activity, combining their commitment to social responsibility with creative expression for children.
A meaningful afternoon
A representative from the Princess Máxima Center Foundation shared their experience of the event: "Besides the children from the Máxima, there were over 20 siblings who came in different groups to color their pajamas or bucket hats. The activity was very well received! It was also special to see what conversations emerged between the siblings during the coloring, it was a special afternoon."
The creative activity provided not only an outlet for artistic expression but also created space for meaningful connections between siblings, allowing them to share experiences while engaging in a fun, hands-on project together.

The Princess Máxima Center
The Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology is a specialized hospital in the Netherlands dedicated to treating children with cancer. Siblings Day events like this one recognize the important role that brothers and sisters play in a young patient's journey, while providing opportunities for families to spend quality time together in a creative, supportive environment.
Through initiatives like this, the Royal Talens Foundation continues to bring creative materials to children who can benefit from artistic expression during challenging times.
