Kerri's 1st time at Fidgets Island

After the Winx Club show, we headed over to Fidgets Island at Paragon for some fun craft activity. This was Kerri's 1st time at Fidgets Island. And she chose to do the acrylic painting, just like Kae.

As this was Kerri's 1st time, I sneaked back to check on them now and then during the 90 minutes period. Thankfully Kerri behaved herself and was alright just being there with Kae. Yay! This means I can leave them there in the future for more shopping/alone time!

The Winx Club meet and greet

And so since this is the last day of the 1 month long school holidays, I decided to bring the girls out to the Winx Club show at Takashimaya today. Kae has suddenly developed a liking for the Winx Club, most likely from her friends.

As it was the last day of the holidays and the show had been going on for a while, it wasn't too crowded today.

School holiday project

In true blue mummy fashion, the girls started their project work only during the last week of the 4 weeks school holidays. Oops.

Kae's theme was drama, so we thought we could make use of the cardboard box that we have at home currently to create a stage play of Charlie and Lola (a play which they just watched).

Kerri's theme was rain, so I googled for some ideas over the Internet, and decided that we would create a raincloud with falling raindrops. Raindrops keep falling on my head came to mind when I took this photo.

All done and completed within 2 days! Super!

Children Season 2014 at Asian Civilization Museum

I dragged dar along to one of the museum visits for the girls. Yes, to Asian Civilisations Museum on a saturday, one of the participating attractions for the Children's Season 2014.

The most interesting activity of the trip was that we had to fill in the blanks based on the animals painted on the wall. They are the clues to our filling in the blanks quiz. I learnt quite a few things that day. Hah!

Please refer to the link here for more information about the various activities available this Children's Season.

Cool De Sac

We met up with Kae's BFF for a play date today. At none other than the newly opened Cool De Sac located within Suntec City. What I like about this place is that they offer unlimited playtime per admission, so we can stay there the whole day with a one time payment. Also, please note that American Express card members enjoy a 15% discount on admission with the American Express cards till 31st December 2014. Details can be found here.

The girls had the most fun at the Backstage Area, where they queued very patiently for their tattoos and face painting.

This was also the first time I could let BOTH girls run around freely with their friends without having to keep a tight watch. Yes, Kerri doesn't need me to be around her anymore!

And guess who we saw while playing? The adorable Loh sisters!

The only complaint I have about this place is that there are no in house washrooms. So when the girls do need the washrooms, we have to walk right out into the shopping mall, and the washrooms are not exactly near. Other than this, I love the place. Food and beverages are good, served from Bistro Cool (which is part of Cool De Sac) just next door. It can get really crowded though from lunch time, so better head there before 12pm if you are making a trip down. One of the nicer indoor play areas for kids in town. I will definitely bring the girls back for more fun!
