關於 car games to play at school ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

Sharing this little fun find in Ipoh again because a reader recently asked about it! ❤️❤️

If you ever find yourself in Ipoh looking for a quiet afternoon of fun, stop by 好啲 HOdi, an unassuming quaint little wooden shophouse in the old part of town.

We accidentally stumbled upon it while walking back to the car and was attracted at first by the strange looking pinball machines in the front. On further investigation, we learned it was a Taiwanese dessert place and the machines were these ball games that required both agility and patience!

The daddies took the machines on while the littles and mamas explored and to our delight, there was an oasis of treasures like "fishing" in the longkang, little traditional clogs to wear, a flowerpot the kids really really really enjoyed washing their hands in, a rope swing and a really fun upstairs where we spent the afternoon laughing and introducing (and trying to remember!!) the classics like congkak, carrom, pick-up-sticks, jenga and so much more!

It was exactly what we needed when we decided to take a little impromptu roadtrip out of the city. A chance for the littles to play, forget about the hustle and bustle and just spend time together.

And in true #kacaumama fashion, this post wouldn't be complete without telling you where you can get a snack with your little after. Just a few shops down the street, there is a traditional coffeeshop called Nam Heong Ipoh Old Town White Coffee, Ipoh that boasts the best white coffee in town still made the old school way (no 3-in-1 sachets here) along with the most delicious flaky yummy warm-from-the-oven egg tarts made fresh. Ella Grace even got to watch an apom balik craftsman in action, so much work and love put into these crispy little peanut parcels.

If you are up for a walk, check out the other shophouses in the vicinity. Traditional Chinese herb shops, Indian spice shops where things are sold by weight, pottery and knick-knacks, just old school rare finds if you're used to the large megamalls in KL.

We loved it so much we came back the both days we were in town, for both the coffee, the eggtarts, and the shophouse fun.

Every once in a while, it's nice to get lost, discover something new, and just make some precious memories I know my mama heart will remember for a long time.

Thank you #ipoHodi for the afternoons of fun, the hospitality, and beautiful service. <3

SuperPark Singapore opens TODAY! Designed with Finnish heart, there is something about this Scandinavian concept of an indoor activity park that speaks to us - after all, we lived in that part of the world for a good five years.

What sets this park apart from the rest is that it allows the WHOLE family to come together and play! In fact, the idea was born when Taneli Sutinen was playing with his daughter and trying to navigate the tiny children activities. Since he launched the first SuperPark in 2012, there are now 13 parks in Finland and they have also expanded internationally to Sweden, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia and now, Singapore!

With over 20 activities spread out in a 40,000ft arena, it's by far the biggest indoor playground we have been to and two hours was not long enough for us to finish exploring the entire place.

The park is divided into three themed areas:

1) Adventure Area - Go on the Flying Fox, Pedal Car Track, Tube Slide, Kid's Gym, Sliding Mountains and more. Our favourite was the Pedal Car where you could 'drive' through the course and there were both kid-sized and adult-sized cars.

2) Game Arena - Compete in games like baseball, bowling, basketball, pinball or try out the challenging Robokeeper too. See my stories for how hard it can be!

3) Freestyle Hall - Try out the augmented climbing wall, learn some skate and scoot tricks or just let yourself be free on the trampolines and gymnastic areas. There's also a Clip N Climb activity for those who love rock climbing too. My kids totally loved the trampolines and we spent so much time just watching them jumping.

They were so dismayed when we had to leave because the park closed at 9pm, so I had to promise them that we will be back again. When that happens, I am going to keep my hands free so we can have a SUPER time together! Woohoo!

SuperPark is located in Suntec City Tower 1, North Wing, #02-477. It opens 10am-9pm from Mon-Fri, and 9am-9pm on weekends, public and school holidays. For ticket pricing and more details, visit www.superpark.com.sg.

Happy holidays! Sharing this again in case you’re looking for something to do with your little this week! ❤️

Enjoy!

Whether it's the school holidays or not, if you're looking for a fun day out with your toddler, here's the ultimate list I compiled over Ella Grace's 3 week break! 😂😅

Everyday, I would look through the list then narrow it down to one or two choices for Ella Grace to pick from (freedom within boundaries, mamas!) and off we would go!

The list is categorized by area and includes at least one activity and one restaurant. Depending on how she was feeling that day, traffic, dinner plans, etc we would either nap-on-the-go in her stroller (and mama got a quiet coffee!) then continue or we would head home.

Change it up, make it your own, invite a friend, be flexible, but most importantly, enjoy your time together and I'd love to see what adventures you guys get up to! <3

Such a beautiful way to teach teeny tiny about reducing and reusing from helping to bring your own containers to filling them up with your sundries to picking out stainless steel straws for friends and bamboo toothbrushes for the family.

A new discovery thanks to the #LOccitaneCares program, this lovely little edu-retreat out of the city is a super fun day out for little ones from catching fishes in the streams, checking out tadpoles, learning how to grow organic vegetables using compost and other green techniques, cooking "farm-to-table" to just getting to run around in nature! Come armed in some serious mosquito repellent and on the third Saturday of the month, they have a market and picnic with workshops for the whole family!

***
ETC
Look up the IBU Family Resource Group KL playgroup schedule for the week and see which one you might like to join. If at the IBU House, we like stopping at Aunty Nat's for some delicious Nyonya food after!

Go to the morning market in your neighborhood and stop for some roti after before getting the team at Playgroup_nestkl to come over for an afternoon of messy play that includes customized sensory stations, music, storytelling, and fun!

Set up playdates in your house and just let the kids entertain each other. I can't tell you how many times that even when we had grand plans to meet at all of the above, there were also some seriously lazy days where we just hung out at home and the kids made up their own games and stories and we ate delivery!

The key to it all is just doing what works for your family and your lifestyle. You know your child best and what they can handle, even the most "boring" days in your head are the most magical days to them if only because they got mama all day all to themselves.
