@soundt2x, I'm glad you liked it, really hope you try it out for yourself and have tons of fun. Share your tweet here with us, I wanna see what you and your kiddies create!
I actually did another craft session this week.
We did something more conventional than silhouettes though. I was trying to inspire J and E with Piet Mondrian's style of paintings, and it developed into a full afternoon project. http://wp.me/p3k0cT-bD?utm_source=kiasuparents&utm_medium=craft if this sounds like something you'd want to do too!

RE: What are the crafting activities you can do with your child?
I just made a silhouette mural together with my kids to decorate their nursery room door, it was quite simple and quite fun for the kids. It's actually not that complicated, you can get all the necessary materials in one place, and it's quite educational and helpful for their psychomotor skills I think.

RE: Any suggestions for family bonding time??
I think Singapore’s kinda great cos nowadays, there’re always events to attend with the families. And most importantly, many of them are FREE! Here are a couple of events I considered attending with Little E and J recently, especially since it was the school holidays (though I didn’t attend all of them, no such energy!):
- Fishing clinic Lower Seletar Reservoir as part of Singapore World Water Day
- Easter Egg hunt at the Cooled Conservatories at Gardens By The Bay
- Free ‘Around the World’ concert by the SAF Central Band at the Esplanade
- Public Garden Flea Market at National Museum of Singapore
Normally, I just try to do research early in the week to plan for the weekend. It works well cos I feel so grumpy on Mondays, looking for fun things to do naturally cheers me up!

RE: Taking your kids to Museums :)
You can try and coincide your museum trips with special events there, in case you're worried the kids will get restless. I was at The National Museum just last weekend for the http://www.public-garden.com/, tons of fun! And you get free admission to the museum, my kids really enjoyed it. Although I don't think Public Garden will be at NMS again next month, I'm sure there will be other fun events for families if you plan ahead.
Someone mentioned the Peranakan Museum, which I also love. But if you've been there before, something different to try is the http://www.nus.edu.sg/cfa/museum/about.php. They hold different Baba-themed exhibitions throughout the year, so very much worth visiting.
Have fun!

RE: Arts and Crafts Stores?
For online stores, there's Beautiful Revelry (http://www.beautifulrevelry.com), although they are more for party decorations. Still has quite a lot of nice stuff though.
There's also the Little Happy Shop (http://www.thelittlehappyshop.com).
You might find more finished products than supplies at these stores, but you never know. Hope this helps!
