Fun for Free

You know SengkangBabies’ motto is “We bring you Fun!“, and we also tag ourselves “Ambassadors of Fun”.

There are a lot of attractions and playgrounds in Singapore but some tickets are on the high side. We share Singapore’s Top 3 attractions in an earlier post, and lament that a family of four will need to spend $80++ just for entry.

We are fortunate that our Blog has been engaged for some media previews, saving a bundle. And we keep trying to highlight to whoever would listen, that our River Safari, Sea Aquarium and other world-class attractions can be made more affordable.

We were happy when Mummy Adora (GingerBreadMum) started Instagram #FunforfreeSG. She is asking for everyone to contribute “Fun and Free” activities, read her story here.

This is one of our FUN contributions πŸ™‚

Video : To adults, lifts bring you up or down a building. To kids, every lift ride is an adventure. And it is never a SIMPLE lift ride at NLB’s bubble lift.

Video : Talking about Play, we have been interviewed about our opinion on “Unstructured Play” (no rules, aka Children own-time-own-target). Daddy highlighted that kids nowadays are so helpless without their mobile devices, they come back to parents for playtime-ideas.

Hello, we used to design our own games in the 70s and 80s. Pop by more more kids friendly activities at http://littlecaptainsatplay.com.

Do pop by IG #FunForFreeSG and view the Fun places in Singapore.
Fun need not be expensive, and although Singapore is small, there is no lack of playgrounds (just ask the kids).

We hope you will contribute and share your own Fun corners too πŸ™‚

Everyone was jealous of the Fun they had haha.

Be a Junior Wildlife reporter at Jurong Bird Park

[ Media Invite ]

This December, a lot of junior reporters are flocking to Jurong Bird Park.

Every weekend, from now till 29Dec, kids can register at Penguin-razzi to get up close to the penguins ! This activity is for kids 5-12 years old, and pre-registration is required.

Kids get to learn more about their favourite penguins.
– Where do they live?
– What do they eat?
– Why their coat is black on top and white below?
– Do penguins happy-feet? (joking)

Meet and Greet session, everyone say hello to Chocolate. This 9 month old African penguin is the latest celebrity penguin hatched and raised at Jurong Bird Park !

Kids will also learn about the different types of penguins. We all know the majestic Emperor, and Rockhopper. What about African and Humboldt? More penguin activities can be found at Penguin Coast.

Oh, the African penguins at Jurong Bird Park are well adapted to the tropics already. Watch Chocolate swim and chase after his keeper here.
