List of Ideas For Bringing Kids Out During School Holidays

List of Ideas of Bringing Kids OutMy favourite source of school holiday fun is none other than Cheekiemonkies blog. So many of my inspiration come from his information sharing. When it comes to what to do with the kids during school holidays, I will start planning as early as during exams period. I want to ensure my kids are not deprived of playdates or outdoor activities even though I am working full-time. So, I will take off from work and bring them to interesting places to play.

Some of my friends around me also ask me for ideas and the funny thing is: it is relatively easy to rattle off a list to them which some we have tried and loved. But when it comes to my own planning, I have much consideration to suit all my 3 kids with their different age groups. The solution is really to separate one-to-one date with each of them or combination of 2 kids while one kid is with the daddy or find a place that suit all 3 of them.

Since I am searching for ideas, I will also share them on this post for my future reference and of course I hope you will find them useful too. I will be updating this list as and when there are new places that come to mind. If you have more interesting places to recommend, I welcome you to leave your comments and I shall add on to the list.

I have categorized into Indoor Places and Activities, Outdoor Places and Activities and Home Activities. I try to list most of the activities to be valid throughout the whole year round and not just customized to holiday periods. For those that are happening only for a short period of time, I will be updating this list regularly.

The Canopy Playground @ Changi Airport T1

Did I tell you that Singapore’s Changi Airport is a favourite family venue to have fun, eat and shop to your heart’s content? I must have when I shared on the Sponge Bob Bouncing Castle last Christmas. Whenever we ran out of ideas or the rain comes to spoil all outdoor plans, we always know where to go. Changi Airport! It never fails to entertain our kids. Canopy Playground We checked out The Canopy Playground at Terminal 1 some weeks back.

YH has been invited to many birthday parties at this age. We were honoured to be invited including his siblings and us, parents to most of the parties.

So when we turned up as Continue reading “Having fun party at Fun@Giggles (+Giveaway!)”
