Any suggestions for family bonding time??

[fable]

Some things we have done this past year:

- Walk the treetops trail at MacRitchie
- Fly kites at Marina Barrage
- Forest Adventure at Bedok
- Visit the National Museum open houses
- Go for a walking tour of one of our heritage areas (Kg Glam, Joo Chiat etc)
- Take a walk along the Green Corridor armed with cameras (where the railway track used to be)
- Volunteer at an old folks home or childrens’ home
- Visit Pulau Ubin / Sister Islands / Kusu Island
- Wake up super early and go to the fish wholesale market at pasir panjang
- walk alongside the kavadi carriers at the next Thaipusam festival (you’ll have to wait a year, it was in Jan)

Try doing some home activities? yea watching a family movie would be a great start! How bout decorating stuff together? could be a room etc. me, my kids and husband are planning to create/decorate a scrap book/ photo book for my mum's birthday present! I think it's a good opportunity to explore our creativity as a family and see whether we can work as a family or not hahaha!


p.s We got the idea from p;log (http://myplog.co) check their website out, tons of ideas and help! I think they have some promotion/contest on their facebook page!

Try watching classic movies together for a change. Many of these movies have excellent plots and portray good values. A friend's kid starting an old movies blog... There are good titles there you can check out and borrow from the National Library.

How about playing Lego?

For the weekends, I would try to make the entire family do some spring cleaning so that they can learn some basic life skills.


- Baking: Teach them how to measure, time, proper mixing technique, temperature etc.
- Mopping: Teach them what causes the floor to be sticky, how to remove odour and also teach them how to be hard working and keen on details (I will make them push the sofa to a side and mop the underneath or pay attention to narrow corners and not miss it or pick up hairs)
- Cooking: The different utensils in the kitchen and how to protect themselves (e.g. water would cause the oil to splatter). . .

Thank goodness, they found it enjoyable! :boogie:
