keeping kids occupied at home

[AuntieKiasi]

So far, for this holidays there aren’t many places he can go, partly because he has brass band commitments till begining of December & also during last week of December. Right now, he is doing all these or is going to do:

1. 2 science books a day (I didn’t prompt him to do this)
2. 1 chinese story a day
3. Listening to classical music
4. writing his own science theories (I didn’t prompt him to do this)
5. watching science documentaries (I also didn’t prompt him on this)
6. visit the libraries (he asked to bring him there)
7. gone to SAFRA Jurong (Kids Admaze)
8. will be visiting the nature reserves in Singapore
9. will be visiting the zoo, sentosa & bird park
This he told me is his itineary.

try building some projects with them. I’ve brought 2 huge 3D puzzles, gotten some projects book and gives them a chance to be creating something. I am quite surprise that they are rather focus than asking to play on the computer.

We took a bus to Orchard yesterday…wise move as parking is so expensive on weekdays and the crowds made it worse.


Can’t wait for school to reopen…tiring to think of ways to entertain them at home.
