[ Review ]

A few Sats ago, Boon Yee and Boon Xin were invited to Fun@Giggles. All respectable indoor playgrounds must be equipped with balls pit right 🙂

Located at Marine Parade, opposite Parkway Parade Shopping Mall, we followed Giggle’s bunny to find our own burrow of Fun!

Fun@Giggles is located on the 2nd floor, next to ANZ bank.

Every kids need to register on Ipad first 🙂

Admission fees for weekdays are for unlimited play, and weekends subject to 2 hours cap.

After taking a few minutes seconds to warmup, Boon Yee and Boon Xin wasted no time to trial the obstacles ! Daddy hated his Standard Obstacle Course (SOC), he wonders why kids love to punish themselves :p

Slides are adults-friendly but beware, the other kids will be staring at you !

And so we climb, jump, slide, balance and enjoy our morning workout.

The friendly staff brought the kids attention to this “orange arch” called Sona. We have to press a button for SONA to tell us a number sequence, then proceed to step on the numbers with our feet. It is all Fun until the third round, timer countdown runs faster, more numbers to remember, and your limbs are weak after all the hopping haha.

(Hint, tag team with your buddy to beat the system)

Fun@Giggles offer both Static (painting) and Mobile (motorcycles) Fun, kids can alternate between the two activities.

You can choose any ride and race with your friends. (Sorry Adults, motor racing is a kids-only activity)

At another corner, parents can help to inspire the kids in their arts and craft pursuit. It is a good opportunity for kids to catch their breathe after all the slides, Giant Balls, and Hide&Seek.

Front and rear view, although Fun@Giggles definitely has a lot of corners for kids to hide and explore.

Another highlight with Fun@Giggles are the friendly staffs. The big brothers and sisters will help kids with the different Fun stations, rock climbing too. Parents will feel safe to leave the kids behind for one or two hours.

If balancing act is too simple…

..what about some acrobatic activities ?

Video : Fun@Giggles got so many Fun stuffs, and friendly staffs 🙂

“Happy Kids = Happy Parents“. With four kids, we can guarantee this statement is True.

The balls pit might be shallow, but balls are balls, and kids will try their best to camouflage themselves within the colourful balls.

In another room, Fun@Giggles’ Parties are very popular. Click for party details.

Bye bye Fun@Giggles, kids left their playground with more than a few Giggles 🙂

You might be interested in some of the events conducted at Fun@Giggles too, eg First-Aid-for-Infant-and-child. We would like to thanks Fun@Giggles for inviting us.

More Fun photos can be fun on their gallery or SengkangBabies Fanpage.

[ Media Invite ]

We love Ikea’s kids friendly displays and we never forget to end our trip with their signature Swedish meatballs, chicken wings, or ice cream cones. The Nasi Brani (halal) set meal is value for money and delicious too.

Last Sat, we were at Ikea for a different reason, we were invited to a Robot building session ! Ikea wish to promote family bonding and fun through some group activities.

To quote from Ikea :
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
When it comes to KIDS, Ikea always believe that :
– Playing is learning for life
– Sleeping is growing for life
– Time with parents, family and friends is the most important

Ikea’s Philosophy is to try to understand a child’s world from their perspective, to learn about their developmental needs throughout different stages of their childhood.

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

After we say Hello to our friendly Ikea droid, we got down to work.

Materials and props were prepared in advanced for us, so we only need to milk our creative juice. Who can pass Daddy the scissor, tape, and Uhu glue?

The smaller kids were more interested in doodling, rather than helping Daddy construct his robot. Fortunately, we got two friendly “teachers” from Artz Graine to guide us.

With Ikea’s “Make a friend” theme, kids say hello to each other, our robots and even the rag dolls! Kelvin (Cheekiemonkie) and Ai (Ai Sakura) busy at work.

Our Robot interfacing with Ash’s cute Minion 🙂

We are all proud of the kids’ Robots.

Daddy hope you can tell ours is a humble purple Robot, arts and craft is not really his forte. We added the elongated rabbit ears since the kids love our neighbour’s bunnies.

We call it “My Robot” since we are bad at naming too haha 🙂

Nice to catch up with our fellow Ikea Robotic fellowship, everyone had Fun along the way.
Hello Adora, Wai Wai, Ai, Elizabeth, Jennifer, Irene, Jean and Kelvin 🙂

Take a peep at our friends’ gorgeous Robots !

After the session ended, Daddy thought he could bring the kids to Smales world again, but the wait was easily an hour plus.

Boon Yee and Boon Xin had enjoyed their Smales exploration in an earlier session.

Good news if you love to diy handicraft with your kids.

From 28 Oct onwards, you can register online for Ikea’s “Make a Friend Contest“(diy Robot) session on 23 Nov. There will be 5 sessions of 30 parent-child teams.
