Christmas will soon be over, and before you know it, 2022 will be here with a bang and school will re-start all over again. So it’s important to make these days count with the kids and spend some quality time on activities with them. Don’t worry if it everything seems to quiet down now, there’s still activities you can all take part in that the kids will enjoy.
From exhibitions that will only run for a few more days to a puzzle hunt, keep reading to find activities to add to your calendar!
Children of today may look at televisions and think of them as nothing more but a medium to watch shows. This exhibition, however, showcases Nam June Paik’s many ways he used television and video in his art.
Bring your child down to see their ‘now’ transformed by an artist’s imagination. Works showcased include installations, projections, modified televisions, video sculptures, robots, and more that will leave your kids in awe and wonder.
From now until 27 March 2022. Admissions are priced from $15 per pax. Located at 1 St Andrew’s Rd, #01 – 01, Singapore 178957. Find out more and book your slot here.
The Da Vinci Exhibition has been in Singapore for a good few months, but this is its last week before it ends. While it lasts, take your children down to enjoy 50 fully-built inventions, 15 fine art studies, and many more displays.
With the help of trained artisans who studied Da Vinci’s Codices, machines and devices that he designed but never created (due to the lack of modern technology) are brought to life.
With interactive displays and hands-on activities that are sure to keep your little ones engaged, this activity is great for kids with curious minds and who never stop asking the question ‘why?’.
From now up to 2 January 2022. Tickets are priced at $15 per pax. The AM session is from 10am – 1pm while the PM session is from 2pm – 5pm. Located at The Annexe, Science Centre, 15 Science Centre Rd, Singapore 609081. Find out more and book your slot here.
Do your kids love music? Do they enjoy catchy tunes and inspiring beats? The Noisy Forest is a 40 minutes music-led exploration where you and the little ones will follow three explorers into the dark forest covered in mystery.
