Smart Parenting with JUMPY Plus Kids Smart Watch

The BEST things in life are meant to be shared. We have heard so much about how addictive smart phones pose to children, not to mention allowing them to own such devices.

However, there are times when Big M, being in primary school, needed to contact us and we likewise, wanted to know her whereabouts. We were procrastinating whether to get her a smart phone until we come across a catchy theme from JUMPY Plus smart watch – “Call, locate, and protect your kids anytime, anywhere” that we need to see it for ourselves.

It was love at first sight and we simply fell in love with JUMPY Plus smart watch! From a parent’s personal view, these are the 5 reasons why you should get one for your child: Continue reading “Smart Parenting with JUMPY Plus Kids Smart Watch”

Top 10 Activities to Do in Legoland Malaysia {Giveaway Tickets for Family of 4!}

There are galore of kids’ activities which we can do during the school holidays and it’s not common we can find a place to stretch our exploration for a day or two. It seems we have found that in Legoland Malaysia where our whole family can re-discover the inner child in us and enjoyed ourselves to the max. We would like to share on the top 10 things you can do in Legoland Malaysia and being just within 20km from Tuas Checkpoint there is no excuse you should give it a miss!

#1 – Stay in Legoland Hotel

We reckon you are going to take a day or two to cover all the rides and activities. That being said, how about booking a memorable getaway at Legoland hotel? Featuring 249 LEGO® themed guest rooms that you can choose from: Pirate, Adventure, Kingdom and LEGO® Friends, you are spoilt for choices. Best part of all, you are returning to a comfortable accommodation after exploring the theme park to get a well-deserved rest.

#2 – Technic Twister

LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort is the first of its kind in Asia that offers adventure, education and fun for action-packed day trips or a short break holiday destination. Come along for an unforgettable adventure at LEGOLAND Theme Park, a family holiday destination with over 70 hands-on rides, slides, shows and attractions designed for families with children aged 2-12.

LEGOLAND Theme Park brings you seven themed area of attractions for all ages such as The Beginning, LEGO® Technic, LEGO Kingdoms, Imagination, LEGO City, Land of Adventure and MINILAND. The theme parks is an inspirational land where the children are the heroes! From LEGO experiment centres to rollercoasters, LEGOLAND Theme Park offers a fun-filled day-long voyage of discovery for all families.

We kick off with the Technic Twister. This cup ride is all about spinning and spinning at fast speed. Try if you dare. All within less than a minute where you are sure to be injected to loads of thrills.

Minimum size: 110 cm (Below 120 cm if accompanied by an adult)

We felt it was daunting but not for Big and Small M. Easy peasy for them? They enjoyed it very much!

#3 – Project X

This is not for the faint-hearted. Imagine racing at lightning speed at the beginning and middle oft he ride and eventually leave you taking a huge plunge at high-speed that leaves you breathless!

Minimum size: 110 cm (Below 120 cm if accompanied by an adult)

Big and Small M get their adrenaline rush with Project X and I had to take the ride twice. They clamoured for another round but we had to stop them as there are so many other rides that we have yet to cover.

Experience a “free-fall” moment from as high as 18m with Project X.

#4 – Driving School

Hear us out. This Driving School is red hot, hot and hot! The queue never seem to dwindle. We were just glad that Big and Small M at least got their chance to be a driver for a day. While queuing up, some parents were left disappointed when the theme park was about to close and there, their little ones had to miss this ever popular ride.

Age: 6 – 13 years only

We were among the last batch and were blessed it was just 30 mins wait. Still bearable 🙂

So you aspire to be a real driver someday when you grow up. It’s not going to be easy but it’s not impossible. For a start, every kid will need to attend a driving course where they are shown a video on driving and safety rules.

Going to hit the road? Not so fast. The friendly instructor now takes the kids for a briefing and test their basic understanding of how to operate a car.

Just make sure you remember to step on the correct peddle …

The rest is history. Excitement took over and they had a whale of their time driving around the circuit.

Big M loves it! The reward that comes at the end it is a LEGOLAND® driver’s licence.

#5 – Boating School

We hit the road and how can we miss the waters? At the Boating School, you get to be your own captain and steer a boat. This is an ever-popular ride which is well-loved by all the visitors. Don’t be surprised to join a long queue. How fast the queue clears is determined by how fast these captains steer the boats back to the starting point. We guessed many of us were first-timers and you can expect us bumping into many corners before crawling our way back.

Long queue but thankful for the shelter.

We really hope to go for at least two rounds but time is limited. We just had to make the best out of this. Each boat is equipped with both a gas pedal and a steering wheel, giving the feeling of complete control to whoever is in charge of the boat. The boats themselves are filled with Lego themes – from the primary colors to the raised Lego-stamped circles, it will make you feel as if you are right in one of the scenes from Lego City!

Big M looking professional.

And of course, we had a blast!

#6 – Ninjago: The Ride

What we love about Legoland Malaysia is their continuity to introduce new rides. Slated to be launched at the end of 2016, Ninjago: The Ride enables guests to demonstrate their ninja skills without the use of a hand held device but through the simple use of their hand gestures. Riders can collect points for their training and battle efforts throughout the ride and scores are displayed when their quest is completed.

#7 – LEGO® Wave Pool

LEGOLAND® Water Park can be enjoyed separately or together with the theme park, boasting over 20 slides and water based attractions as well as 70 LEGO® models. The LEGO themed water park also includes unique highlights for more thrills and spills.

Get ready to be tossed by gentle waves and cool off in Lego Wave Pool. This is very suitable for families as the water is shallow and the waves are not strong. If you are looking for a shallow pool just to dip yourself (as an appetizer) before you head to more challenging rides, look no further. There were also hosts who came in at every interval to rally the swimmers to engage in water sports dance and keep ourselves entertained.

Splish splash in the waters 🙂

The fun doesn’t end when the sun goes down! Swim, shop and savour the fun at the Wave Pool in the Water Park, which will be opened until 9pm every Friday and Saturday. Look out for exclusive entertainment specials, fun water games, meet your favourite LEGOLAND® characters, building activities and more!

#8 – Build A Boat

Put your imagination and creativity to test and build your dream boat all by using lego bricks.

Simple, safe and fun. Above the fun, it’s the bonding time between the sisters that stands out.

As you can see, the interesting part of this station is the ever-flowing waters. Kids get the thrill when they see their dream boats sailing beautiful down the stream.

May the best boat win!

  • Build-a-Boat river is 35 feet long
  • Boat hulls and LEGO bricks are provided for kids to design and build their own boat to race
  • Interactive launch platform allows boats to race head to head against friends and family
  • Dam breaks are stationed throughout the river for guests to control and change the flow of the water

#9 – Joker Soaker

We hate to say this. Joker Soaker may take up a big bulk of your time in the water park. Expect kids to be glued to this fun and interactive playground with various lengths, heights and types of slides. Guests can wade in the surrounding pool and be surprised with a torrential spill from a 300-gallon bucket.

Lower-level slide: Guests under 91cm tall are not permitted on this ride. Guests must be 91cm or taller to ride lower-level sildes. Children under 6 years of age must be accompanied by and adult.

The Young Scientists Magazine: Mini-Scientists in the Making {Giveaway for 4 with Delivery Included!}

Do you like the idea of reading a science magazine that has colorful pictures, educational contents that appeals to all and sparks your innate curiosity? I’m sure every parent would want to get hold of a copy.

The Young Scientists

If Science is not one of your kiddos’ favorite topics, I’m sure their opinion would change. The Young Scientists is a magazine that aimed to capture children’s imagination and instill a real passion for science. It’s a plus to know The Young Scientists is based on the latest Singapore MOE Primary Science Syllabus and complemented with PSLE format questions 🙂

Big and Small M were introduced to The Young Scientists last year and as parents, we noticed a notable change in their knowledge of wider surroundings. With the gain of general knowledge, they are able to identify of what and how of the happenings around them. They, too, are enthusiastic and drawn to the magazine’s contents. So to say, The Young Scientists magazines have become their “bedtime stories” for a long while. The spark of laughter and questions asking on the various topics in the magazine would pierced the otherwise, quiet bedroom every night.

A Science Magazine for All

Hey, we’re all born with an innate curiosity. Sometimes all we need is a little inspiration to tap into it. Not every child reads at the same level, and that’s okay. The Young Scientists offer different versions of Science magazines for your kiddos.

The recommendations in general are: Level 1 = Introduction to Science for Pri1 to Pri2 | Level 2 = Lower Block Science for Pri3 to Pri4 | Level 3 = Upper Block Science for Pri5 to Pri6 | Level 4 = Lower Sec Science (EA/NA) for students graduating Pri6 to Sec2.

The Young Scientists Level 3 explores further the intricacy and mysteries of Science with fascinating articles, challenging questions to enhance development of Science concepts, meaningful experiments to build confidence and interesting Science stories in comic format. Contents are designed in compliance with the upper block themes of the latest Primary Science Syllabus, viz. Cycles, Systems, Energy and Interactions.

2015 Young Scientists Collection Set (Level 3)

The Young Scientists Level 4 is specially designed and written for upper primary pupils and lower secondary students. The topics of the magazine aim to expose readers to more in-depth understanding of the themes of Diversity, Models, Systems and Interactions while maintaining the fun and exciting comic style which is the trademark of The Young Scientists magazine.

2015 Young Scientists Collection Set (Level 4)

There are 10 magazines in each pack. Each magazine comes with a set of questions as well for you to practice after reading.

Mini-Scientists in the Making

Children make excellent scientists – they’re curious, eager to learn and have open minds. With The Young Scientists magazine, just watch how your child cultivate a greater love and interest for Science!

Every cube of Nata De Coco is produced by the fermentation of pure coconut water, giving it a distinctive taste and chewy texture. We were a tad overwhelmed when we crossed path with Mogu Mogu, thinking which flavour to try first!

Many Flavours, One Great Taste

Mogu Mogu fruit juices come in many fruity flavours. Whether you are a fan of grape, peach, coconut, mango, lychee, apple, yogurt or even the new pink guava, there will be a taste that appeals to you.
