Children's Art Season @ SAM

This time round the activities at SAM was really engaging for the little ones. They had so much to create and express themselves.

First, the kids got to create their own clay magnets from everyday objects such as key, clips, pegs @ Everyday Wonders...
 Some ideas to kick start the creation.
Their very own little pieces.
 
We went round too admiring at the art from these simple tools.
 Next, in the activity room, they colored and cut their little trees. They were meant to add on to the wall of art but our kids just wanted to bring their pieces home.
They also imitated the artists that created the Echoes-Infinity-The Forest using powder paint that fades with time as visitors walk over, reminding us the transient nature of life. It wasn't easy using these powdered paint as it smudged quite easily.
 The kids had loads of fun in Dress Me up, putting on the attire that they wished.
 At the Art of Imagination, the kids could unleash their imagination and simply draw and add to this creative mash-up, rearranging the boxes anyway they liked.
There was also origami time at Grow a Garden in the Dark where the curators taught the little ones simple paper folding to add on flowers, leaves and butterflies to the 'garden' that comes alive in the dark.
 We never left the place without taking a picture with Walter!
Since we were already out, we decided to head down to the dinosaur exhibition by Science Center at Plaza Singapura. They were simply excited to be there, joining in the coloring activities and game show that happened to be on.

Police Heritage Center

It's the Children's Art season and the museums are filled with interesting activities for kids. We started the holidays visiting the Police Heritage Center. We had to make an appointment before we can go for a visit. That's how high security it is.

We had a quick tour on the development of our police force and dressed up as little police.
How cute are the kids in the uniforms!



Art Garden @ SAM

It's open day at the Singapore Art Museum. Daddy took the kids out to the Art Garden. This year the activities were fewer than last year but nonetheless the kids still enjoyed the few items.
Running trains are definitely Abel's favorite. Daddy managed to get them into the queue which was exceptional as it's a public holiday with free admission.
They had their hands on some clay to make 'kueh'.
 
The final product….

Cute isn't it?

Philatelic Museum

On the 'M' theme, we went on a museum trip to explore how our mail got delivered to our house. It's more so it's the Children Season where museums have special activities for kids. We missed the openhouse but nonetheless we were here.
 Pretending to be a mailman!
 There were some sections that depicted history on stamps and the kids had more fun playing.
As this is the year of the Rabbit, there as a section featuring rabbit stamps and some relevant information relating to rabbits.
The kids were really fascinated by this rabbit houses in the burrows created. Quite a nice setting though it would have been better if there were more interactives.

Art Garden @ SAM

This holiday there was quite a lot of programmes put up by the museums. Mommy decided to bring us to venture into the Art Garden @ the Singapore Art Museum together with Aunt Irene and her kids. It's our first visit and we must say it's quite interesting though the kids might be a little too young to appreciate the exhibits fully.


We hopped around and explored the texture, size and shapes in Walter the rabbit's garden.

Explored the enchanted forest and made some butterflies to add on to the many which were already there. However, Keziah decided she wanted to bring hers home rather than leaving it there to join the rest.

In Floribots, we saw how the flower grew from a bud and blossom. Yes, more crafts…we made origami flowers and added to the large collage there.

The kids loved this. Funky forest and Dasies which were interactive which allowed the kids to discover how their movements made streams 'flow' and trees and flowers 'grow' and disappear.
