5 FREE KID-FRIENDLY SPOTS IN EAST OF SINGAPORE

March 13, 2019 by Little Miss Honey 3,427 Comments

Having 3 kids under a foreign visa status in an urban city like Singapore can be quite expensive I must admit. So to budget our finances wisely, we look for recreational activities in Singapore that doesn’t require us to spend too much or better yet, fun activities that are free. We also don’t want to deprive our kids with good recreational fun. And apparently, kids are easy to please. No need expensive toys, regular trips to places that require admission fees, tickets to popular shows, etc.

Living in the east of Singapore for almost 6 years now, I found some spots that are kid-friendly and free! We would often take our kids here on weekends if we don’t have anything special planned and we want them to explore & stretch their active limbs to a few hours of play.

Here are 5 free kid-friendly spots in east of Singapore:

1. Changi City Point Playground

Changi City Point Playground

This is conveniently located in the outdoor area at the 2nd floor of the Changi City Point mall. It is perfect for kids age 12 years and below or below the height of 1.4m. My active little boys love the playground because they have this cool obstacle course. There is a wooden suspension bridge, a flexible plastic bridge, a rope obstacle and climbing ropes. My 2 toddlers are up for the challenge. The course is a great way for them to exercise and test their coordination & motor skills. I gave credit to my hubby who discovered this play area. They have a wet play area too.

2. Our Tampines Hub

This place is huge. It is conveniently in walking distance from Tampines Bus Interchange and Tampines MRT. Our Tampines Hub (OTH) is Singapore’s largest integrated community and lifestyle hub, bringing together multiple agencies and offering a comprehensive range of services and facilities.

They often have kiddie movies shown in their open-area lobby like Cars or Coco. Those are my kids’ favorite cartoon movies. They sometimes would have free bouncing castles for kids to enjoy. They have wide spaces with free play area in some levels of the building. So often, we would buy food at the hawker area and we eat in the tables with benches provided near the play area while walking the kids play.

3. Pasir Ris Park

Pasir Ris Park

Strolling around this area is a nice educational trip for the kids. My eldest son’s school would have their field trip often in Pasir Ris Park. They would have fun activities and teach them about the living things in the area & nature.

4. Tampines 1 Roof Deck Water Park

If my kids are tired of the swimming pool in the condominium, we would take them for some water fun at the roofdeck water park in Tampines 1 mall. We will bring their wet suits & extra clothes to enjoy the water park. They are so happy just playing in the water while I would buy my kopi peng watching them play. They would meet new friends too at the waterpark.

5. Changi Beach

Changi Beach

If they want to play with some sand, we bring their plastic shovels & bucket to Changi Beach. We would buy some food at Changi Village and have a little picnic on the grass near the beach. We would either buy some pao or dumplings or try the Nasi Lemak at the Hawker Centre. We also would buy the Chocolate Origin Choco Lava .

The kids would dip their feet in the water or just play on the sands. They also enjoy watching the planes that are flying low to land at Changi airport.

So fun doesn’t necessary means expensive, right? What is important is that my kids will have amazing memories in their time here in Singapore and it didn’t even cost us much. We are happy we get to find ways for them to enjoy and have fun. Do you have other suggested free kid-friendly areas here in Singapore? Please let me know. We would highly appreciate it.

THINGS THAT INSPIRED ME THIS WEEK

July 11, 2015 by Little Miss Honey 3,490 Comments

Foot Soak Flare Wellness

This week was a very productive week for me. On Tuesday, I headed to Bugis Cube for the first of three facial sessions with Flare Wellness for our collaboration for Project Transformation. Watch out for that on my blog. It was such a wonderful experience. I felt so relaxed and I even dozed off. It started off with a relaxing foot soak. I will tell you more about it soon.

Though unfortunately after the session, I got stranded in Bugis because MRT broke down and I have to catch a bus along with a lot of people, tired and anxious to get home too. But after two hours of two bus rides, I was finally home. It’s all well that ends well. Read this beautiful article about the train breakdown last Tuesday.

The very next day, it was nice to unwind with a work colleague and headed to Changi Village for dinner, chats about life & plans and this cute 3D Art Iced Latte at Chock Full of  Beans.

This week also I am privileged to meet two of the most popular & distinguished food bloggers here in Singapore: Dr. Leslie Tay, family physician & author of www.ieatishootipost.sg and Daniel Ang, fitness instructor, lecturer & author of www.danielfooddiary.com.

I met them both on two separate occasions and both gave out tips on blogging. I am a fan of their food blogs and after meeting them, I  developed an even deeper admiration & respect for the two gentlemen. I learned  a lot from both of them. I just met Daniel yesterday. Tampines 1 Mall organised 20 lucky persons to be part of the Art of Food Blogging workshop with Daniel Food Diary.

It was a fun afternoon of learning, eating and meeting new people. The foods were amazing! Take a look!

And the best part of my week? It is always will be my baby boy. I am growing more and more in love with this little man. He is so funny and very determined (hahaha, where did he inherited that?). He managed to take 3 steps on his own yesterday. Oh, I am such a proud momma. I wish my hubby saw it too.
