Can’t wait to watch a live performance on stage

Can’t wait to watch a live performance on stage again? From a Shakespeare extravaganza to some fab local comedy acts, to an audio-guided theatrical street walk experience, and even an interactive theatre show (yes the audience gets to decide the next step!) there’s so much to look forward to!⁠
Link in bio for what to watch on stage.⁠

There’s a new small pop up ‘Skating’ Rink at

There’s a new small pop up ‘Skating’ Rink at the CHIJMES Mini Lawn (open 5-9pm). Minimum age is 10yrs+. Entry is $5 for 30 minutes plus skate rental is $5 per pair (bring socks, or buy them at $2.50). This isn’t real ice skating guys - it’s a plastic floor so even with rollerblading or skating experience it’s pretty difficult to move on this surface. Link in bio for other weekend ideas!⁠

He’s nearly finished his latest street art maste

He’s nearly finished his latest street art masterpiece! Local artist Yip Yew Chong is transforming this wall on Temple Street - it’s taken over three weeks due to bad weather (and his passion for detail - the very thing that makes his art extraordinary). It sounds like Yip Yew Chong will be finishing up tomorrow, so if you want to see him action, this is your chance!
Don’t say we don’t spoil you with the inside info 😉

Have you guys heard of Elf on the Shelf? It’s so

Have you guys heard of Elf on the Shelf? It’s something fun to do every morning in the lead up to Christmas. How it works is this: parents ‘adopt’ a Scout Elf who arrives at your door (we love that there are Elfs of different ethnicities) with a book that you can read to your kids to explain how it works. Elf on the Shelf reports on the family’s behaviour to Santa each night. So instead of mums and dads saying “Santa is watching” you can just point to ole Scout Elf here and give your kids a knowing look. Every morning Scout Elf will be miraculously in a different position around the house (you might need to help him out with this part) for the kiddos to wake up and discover!⁠
⁠
Is this part of your family's Christmas fun or does it sound like just one more crazy thing to navigate?⁠

Are you doing Advent calendars this year? Chocolat

Are you doing Advent calendars this year? Chocolate calendars will get the kids' vote but how about something meaningful this year? If you want to teach about giving back to those in need - why not make a Reverse Advent Calendar with your kids? Decorate a basket or use a plain cardboard box. Go out with your child to buy tinned or non-perishable items like coffee, hot chocolate, long-life milk, canned food, cooking oils, rice, noodles, peanut butter, toothbrushes and toothpaste. Every day from 1 December you can put in one item, or an item per child each day. A few days before Christmas, pack up your box and head to a charity with your kids so they can see how they’ve helped. If you’ve chosen to put money in the box instead, take your kids grocery shopping with the cash on day 22, and bring your purchases to charities such as @foodbanksg or Willing Hearts.⁠
