Colgate Magical Sea World! Indistuff

#colgatemagicalstories
Colgate introduced magical sea world packs. I use colgate for my gum problems too.

Colgate strong teeth pack comes with 4 different sets of interesting magical sea world creatures. Kids can cut, play and learn. It looks very colourful and attractive. This activity can be done with group of kids and friends. Its fun too.

My kids liked it and were excited to see printed inside and he liked to cut and play. Both kids were playing and found it useful too.  They tried to create own stories out of it. Learnt names of the creatures. Its a educational game. It was fun to see them sit around and play. They should also include a small toy so they will collect more.

My son liked the pirate ship most. What do you like? Collect all 4.

All set for a colgate smile:-)

Thanks Colgate for sending me the packs.

How do you spend holidays with kids in Singapore?

Spending holidays with kids in Singapore without giving electronics gadgets is very difficult. Most of them travel to India for vacation, but some of them do not travel as there school re-opens for kids in India and many other personal reasons. But here it is not like India with our summer camps, here mostly it will be 3-4 days and with expensive fee.

I have been trying to give less phone or allow to watch TV, but sometimes forced to do so.

Few things I have jotted down, it might be useful.

1. Wake up late, breakfast lunch also will be late, so its good to go outside in the evening.
2. Check their holiday homework and plan to finish in last week. Some can be done on daily basis too.
3. Visit friends place to play indoor and outdoor games.
4. Sleepover at friends place and vice versa.
5. Continue their extra ciricular classes such as swimming, music, dance, skating, balvihar, etc
6. Enjoy family bicycle rides whenever possible on weekends.
7. Go to kids movie with friends or family.
8. Daily go to play area or park and play with friends, cycle, football, skating, etc
9. Once in a while visit library, for some kids it might be boring.
10. Visit water parks, sentosa, birdpark, science centre,
11. Do your favourite at home baking or art work.
12. Do checkout interesting holiday workshops at nearby community centre and enrol them.

will be adding more soon. with event happenings around Singapore. 

RSAF Air Show 2016

The RSAF Open House 2016 is back this weekend and it's completely FREE to visit!

yesterday we went to Paya Lebar Air Base and here's what to expect! There's also rock climbing, air shows and the chance to sit in four different planes. You even get to sit in a cockpit! Kids will be entertained by the booths at the carnival section.

Location: Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB) 
Date & Time: 21 & 22 May, 9am to 6pm daily

Getting There:

Free Shuttle Buses with RSAF-issued authorised bus labels from Eunos Bus Interchange and Kovan Hub (Shuttle bus operation starts at 8.30 am and ends at 5:30 pm at both locations. Buses leave both locations at 10-minute intervals.)

SBS Bus No. 90 (please refer to the SBS Bus operation timings). Visitors should alight at Air Force Museum.
Registered Taxis with the Land Transport Authority, i.e. taxis from Comfort, CityCab, SMRT, Trans-Cab, Premier and Prime.

My suggestions, inorder to avoid long queque with kids at Eunos MRT for the shuttle bus, try to go in taxi if nearby and save time its too crowded. We went to Eunos MRT but with kids couldnot stand in such long queque where more than 2000 people there. But the service of buses and all arrangements are excellent.

Food court is also available, performance hall, exhibition hall and air show all worth.

Things to carry - water, juices, snacks, cap, sunscreen lotion, umbrella, camera.

While coming back it was easy to access shuttle bus and was very quick. We and kids enjoyed a lot.

Excellent arrangements done by RSAF team. Congratulations.

Attaching few photos taken by me.
