That old Swing and See-Saw at Raffles Place

Posted on May 13, 2013 by SengkangBabies

Remember the old Swing, See Saw and Merry Go Round at Raffles Place (Mar)? This Nostalgic playground will be shifting to East Coast from mid May to end Jul.

Video : It is easy to imagine we are in the 1980s, just remove the high rise buildings around us.

So many Firsts for the kiddos. First time on Merry Go Round and See-Saw.

Just remove footwear and see kids grin when sand tickles toes !

There are some Giant Tulips at Raffles place too.

Many families made their way to Raffles Place playground on this Sunday afternoon too.

Kids’ expressions are always genuine, look how FUN was defined this afternoon :p

Monday blues? Watch the video above and let SengkangBabies relive your childhood memories

Cupcakes from Play-Doh

At every birthday parties, cupcakes never cease to attract kids’ attention. The design is always packed with cute cartoons. What if we can make our own cupcakes?

Play-Doh offered us an opportunity to review their “Frosting Fun Bakery Set”. Cookies, pastries, and yes Cupcakes.

Our station comes with a cake-stamping and frosting station. Kids just need to squeeze down to form their own designs.

We can cut the doh compound into Heart or Star shapes.

Watch the Swirl slowly oozes onto the cookies ! There are many more realistic designs and decorations, just let your imagination runs wild.

Initially, we only ask Boon Yee (6) and Boon Xin (4) to design the cookies, but the older boys find the baking session irresistible and join in the fun. (age 3+)

Even our boys are interested in “Home Econs” class now :p
Our boys who are undergoing exam preparations enjoy the “therapeutic” effect of molding their own sweet creations.

PLAY-DOH Sweet Shoppe FROSTING FUN BAKERY Playset is retailing at Toys’r Us and major departments for S$24.90.

Unfortunately, we have not perfected our baking skills yet, Play-Doh is asking you to pop by their website www.play-doh.com for more delicious cupcakes and FUN recipes

Be warned, baking is very addictive. We love Mummy’s Oreo cheesecake and Mummy have to redo a few times before getting the process correct.

With Play-Doh, learning to bake is so much more easier, and FUN !
来来来, 做蛋糕了

” Child’s Play ” is written on the wall, and we thought that is where Hokey Pokey (HP) excels. When we pop by last year, they were still at Marina Square, HP has since moved to Millenia Walk.

Boon Yee and Boon Xin took the day off for some makeup and baking class, we love the cook’s cap and apron

While the girl meddle with mascara, or helping Barbie dressup in her 1.2m tall mansion..

..Daddy showed the boy why castles are cooler.

We love it when the kids model as junior Fireman and Policeman. So adorable !

There are costumes and masks for kids to disguise as Spiderman, Ms Captain America or even Peter Pan! We miss BabyBoss..

Boon Xin decided to roleplay Mummy, our everyday superHeroine. She always enjoy helping Mummy with housework.

We discover mountains and tunnels for the trains to navigate. There are so many toys for kids’ imagination to run wild, and parents are not complaining

Kids can choose bikes, cars, lorries and even Wagon (sorry, one parent has to pull). We spotted Boon Yee exceeding the speed-limit on his Ducati ! Click for more fun rides on our previous review.

Suddenly, all the kids started cheering and running to the front. It is BuBBles time !

While the kids are dancing with the bubbles, Daddy checkout the Birthday Function room.

It should be cool for the kids to host a themed party with friends.

No prize for guessing which corner attracts the kids. There are actually two ball pits, Boon Xin loves the smaller one, maybe because she found a new friend.

Altogether, there are almost 20,000 Balls in Hokey Pokey ! No wonder Boon Yee loves the bigger pit.

He tried different angles to enter the balls pit, from the slide or from the edge. Boon Yee never stop smiling

BALLISTIC experience ! He can even play submarine under the balls.

Mummy and Daddy realised something when Boon Xin complain that the swing is too small for her. She is growing up too fast…

Hokey Pokey is recommended for kids from 6months to 6years old. Fun awaits

What do we like about Hokey Pokey?
- Big open space for kids to run around
- Hugh selection of toys for kids to choose
- Balls pit is every kid’s Dream !
