Our last museum stop for the holidays is to the National Museum of Singapore for Island Adventures.
There are 3 main section to the adventures.
1st stop is at Level 1, the concourse for Ahoy! All Aboard! The kids will learn how to overcome challenges as they made their way across the oceans to little sunny Singapura.
The 2nd and most entertaining stop is the Port City at Level 1, the concourse. Kids learn about kampongs and the development of Singapura into a port city with different trading activities which the kids can try to act out at the interactive stations with role playing.
They can get to be a fisherman. Which is by the way, Kae's favorite station.
Kae also tried to be a coolie worker, helping to load and unload the big and heavy sacks. And playing jigsaw puzzle (by mending the "holes" in the sails) all at the same time.
Kae tried to be a hawker, with all the traditional tables, chairs, plates and cultery. And of course, the cookware and head gear.
She got to be a cobbler, by matching the inserts to the length of each shoe.
And tried her hand at letter writing.
The last station is Building a Garden, where kids can use magnet like pieces to create a picture of the wall. Parents get to rest their feet too when the kids doodle.
