If you haven't decided on what to do then there's no need to worry. We've listed down seven fun weekend activities for your entire family to enjoy!
8 Fun Weekend Activities With The Family
1. Babyluxe - Have Fun with Organic and Safe Products!
The bath bomb-making workshop is brought to you by Babyluxe, an omni-channel retail store that also offers in-person workshops for both kids and adults. When it comes to bath bomb making, we understand that you might have concerns about what the products are made of. After all, as parents, it’s only natural that we want to minimise our kids’ exposure to unnecessary chemicals and toxins.
Well, fret not, for Babyluxe’s products are organic and safe. Babyluxe is committed to bringing a gentler world to you and your little ones. The bath bombs that you will be making are all-natural, organic and non-toxic, so you can put your mind at ease while enjoying this fun parent-child bonding activity!
What’s In Store for this Fun Parent-Child Bonding Activity
1. Fun and interactive 1-hour session that introduces you and your child to the fizzing world of hand-made bath bombs
Kids love colours and textures and this will be a great way for them to explore these. It’s a wonderful alternative to watching television and they will feel the satisfaction that comes with making something from nothing!
2. Learn the basics of making all-natural, non-toxic bath bombs from scratch
This fun parent-child bonding activity will go a long way in introducing your kids to the world of DIY! After this workshop, you can always make more bath bombs in the comfort of your own home. Furthermore, you and your kids can explore making other crafts and DIY projects after this. Along with enjoying the activity, your kids can learn that not everything has to be store-bought.
3. Customise your own bath to create your own fizzy fun, and bring home your own creation
Everyone loves to customise! Your kids will have the space to release their creative energy. And at the end of it, they will have a sense of pride and accomplishment when looking at their very own creation!
4. A sensory-play experience for your little ones
Sensory play boasts a host of benefits for the little ones. It encourages them to learn through exploration, curiosity, problem-solving and creativity. In addition, it helps to build nerve connections in the brain and encourages the development of motor skills!
5. A great way for you and your child to make memories together
Taking part in a fun parent-child bonding activity will definitely be a memory that your child will hold dear for a long time.
Mums and Dads, this activity is for kids aged 2.5 years old and above. Each workshop is priced at $90 per pair of adult-kid or adults. If you’d like a private workshop, you can arrange for it at $250 per workshop for up to 3 pairs of adults and kids, or just adults, and $320 per workshop for up to 4 pairs.
So there you go, a fun parent-child bonding activity in which you have fun, take home something and make a great memory! What better way to spend the day?

2. Have some outdoor fun at Coastal PlayGrove
One of the best weekend activities you can indulge in is splashing around at the new Coastal Playgrove. There are play areas for both kids and adults alike! You can play around in its water play area or attempt to climb Singapore's tallest outdoor play feature.
If you would also like to take a break from all the excitement, stroll along with your little one through its nature playgarden.
3. All aboard The Orient Express!
The well-loved pop-up attraction "Once Upon Time On The Orient Express" has now been extended to September 2021. Aside from the exhibition that families enjoyed during its soft opening, it will also have brand new features. This includes a refreshed dining experience and a pedagogical book for kids to learn more about the Orient for a complete cultural experience.
Don't miss a chance to experience this fun yet educational exhibition and add it to your list of weekend activities with the family!
4. Learn more about Japanese culture at the Life In Edo | Russel Wong In Kyoto exhibit
For more calming weekend activities with the family, you can head down to the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) for their latest exhibition Life In Edo | Russel Wong In Kyoto.
Very much like the other galleries and installation at ACM, these exhibitions are a fascinating walk through Japanese culture. Life In Edo uncovers the everyday occurrences of the Edo period showcasing woodblock prints and paintings. Meanwhile, Russel Wong In Kyoto features photographs of the photographer himself through his 13-year-long and ongoing personal project.
5. Join the festivities of an Indian New Year Open House at the Indian Heritage Centre
This Saturday (17 April), the Indian Heritage Centre has prepared a special event for Singapore's Indian communities. Their Indian New Year Open House is free for all to celebrate the culture and traditions of India.
You can join in on weekend activities with your family for thoranam tying. You might also like to try rangoli stencilling or learn how to cook your own Thosai. Have your kids take part in creating phulkari tile designs at their workshop on Sunday (18 April).
6. Put your green thumbs to the test with Gardeners’ Day Out
You can still have some weekend fun at home by joining NParks' Gardeners' Day Out programmes! For those wanting to polish their gardening skills, this is the perfect way to spend your Saturday (17 April). You can join the experts as they share their knowledge of plants through talks and demonstrations.
There will also be video tutorials as part of their kid-friendly weekend activities with family.
7. Collect a free hand sanitiser to stay safe during your weekend activities with family
Of course, proper safety and sanitisation should also be part of your weekend activities with family. The Temasek Foundation has launched automated vending machines for you to get a free 500ml worth of hand sanitiser.
These are alcohol-free and contains 0.2% benzalkonium chloride (BKC). This makes them a useful tool to fight against coronavirus. So before having a fun day out with the kids, make sure to stay safe and healthy!
8. Have some tropical fun at The Sea of Tiki
Last but certainly not least on our list of weekend activities with family, is the S.E.A. Aquarium. It has something special under its waters and you can enjoy a full tropical adventure at The Sea of Tiki event!
Meet your tropical marine animals in a Tropical Trail and you might even catch a Tiki Warrior dive in to feed them. To commemorate your visit, snap a photo with their Tiki Totem installation. Stick around and you may even catch the adorable Manta Ray Mascots.
That's what in store this weekend. Some incredibly fun activities for the family! We hope we've given you ideas on how you can spend the next two days with your children.
