3. Kallang Ice World
It really is a pity we don’t enjoy the enchantment of a white Christmas. That in no way means your child should miss out on the glee of ice-skating!

5. ACT 3
Do you find that your child can be loud and expressive? Do you sometimes feel you don’t know how to control them? You might just have a little actor or actress on your hands – and they may just need somewhere to channel all this wonderful energy. ACT 3 has just the thing for you, a week-long workshop designed around getting your kid to tell stories through movement and expression. Workshops are at $300 per child – who knows, the next big Hollywood star might just be on your couch.

6. Computer Programming
Today’s children are tomorrow’s future – they really are, so why not present them with the opportunities needed to bring out the best in them? Saturday Kids aims to teach and develop the thinking skills of young children by showing them how to create a computer game for starters! We all know they love to play the games, now imagine if they could make one! For $180 a head your child can discover their inner Mark Zuckerberg (that guy who founded Facebook, of course!)

8. Singapore Children’s Forum
In this busy world of ours, the voices of our children are often drowned out. We may forget that they have this fascinating ability to think far beyond the box of normality. Singapore Children’s Forum gives your child the chance to speak up and voice their thoughts and opinions on matters that affect them. This is a free event, but be sure to register you child!
