The Big 8 Dino-Revelation !

It is definitely the most happening exhibition in town! Not only among the parents (I don’t know why but most kids seems to have certain level of fascination with dinosaurs) and of course the dinosaur fans. Hong Kong Science Museum is currently showcasing 8 of the most iconic species, including T-Rex 暴龍, Triceratops 三角龍, Spinosaurus 棘龍, Allosaurus 異特龍, Hesperosaurus西龍, Diplodocus 梁龍, Hatzegopteryx 翼龍 and baby sauropod 蜥腳類恐龍. Hence, calling the exhibition, the Big 8. I am surprised and impressed by the amount of original fossil materials and reconstruction of the skeletons dinosaurs. It’s really informative and in a way, quite interactive to attract children’s attention. Exhibition period from 8 July to 16 November 2022 Location: 2/f exhibition hall of science museum Opening hours: 10am to 7pm (weekend and oh to 9pm) Admission to the exhibition is free but visitors have to make reservations up to seven days in advance through the online booking system. Kids think: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Mom think: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Note: Do grab a copy of the handbook, it’s a guide to all 8 big beasts. x #hkmoms #hkblogger #hkkids #dinosaurs #thebig8dinosaurrevelation #lcsd #hongkongsciencemuseum #hongkongexhibition #hongkongdinosaurs #mykids馬來港孩 #恐龍展 #香港科學館 #香港展覽 #八大尋龍記 #親子好去處 #親子活動 #香港恐龍展 #週末好去處 #恐龍 #兒童適宜

Most of the camping stuff could be loan at the campsite, there’s even external chargers for rental. Campsite could purchase ingredients for barbecue on behalf if you’ve ordered or choose such option at booking. Its considered summer now that the weather has been so warm, we reserved the inflatable pool for kids and adults to have a water gun fight in it.

Peppa Pig’s Happy Day Interactive Play

If you have kids around you, you would’ve heard of Peppa Pig. It’s widespread among parents and children. It’s episodes of story of Peppa, who lives on a hill with Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig and little brother George. Although it’s a very famous cartoon, my kids knew them, we watched a couple of episodes but I decided to stop for a couple of reason. Honestly, I didn’t think kids should watch too much of Peppa Pig or Cocomelon 🫣 Anyway, there’s a Peppa Pig event at Kowloon Bay, it’s called the Happy Day Interactive Play! You must’ve seen blogger/ influencer posting about it. So, here’s the thing, I don’t just sweeten the package; readers know I give honest opinion. And this event, is definitely no go for kids 6 and above. There are different sections; vr interactive running, matching game on screen, slide with a sleight, vr jump into puddles and farm activities, train tracks, trampolines and more. BUT they are designed for toddlers, meaning kids age 1.5 to 5. So, if you’re a Peppa Pig fans, or you have kids 1.5 to 5, your kids might enjoyed this event a lot more than my kids 🫣 Event date: 2022/06/25 – 2022/09/12 Different sessions from 10:30-19:00 Address: FT life tower, Kowloon Bay Book your session with discount via Trip.com https://hk.trip.com/things-to-do/detail/39958256/?language=HK&locale=zh_hk Peppa Pig 玩樂日互動特展 - 香港站 X #peppapig #happydayinteractiveplay #hkevent #hkblogger #hkkids #hkmoms #hongkongkids #hongkongmom #indooractivity #weekendactivity #toddlersactivity #familyfriendly #peppapig玩樂日互動特展 #佩佩豬 #九龍灣 #mykids馬來港孩 #兒童適宜 #室內活動 #親子活動 #兒童遊戲空間 #香港兒童 #本地遊

NewTownPlaza‘s Sportzone and Workshop Few weeks ago, I took kids to New Town Plaza, knowing that there’s this rooftop sports park. From the brochure, we are expecting a 5metre sleigh ride on artificial grass; 17 metres balancing path; a rather simple rock climbing; gym area without equipments; a colourful basketball court and rest area. We went after school, arriving just past lunch hour. I didn’t expect such a sunny weather given the past few days were cloudy and gloomy. So, of course, the boulders on wall were too hot to climb on. Kids move on, ran straight to the balancing swings, then noticed the sleigh ride. We went straight to the sleigh ride while I got my SHKP mall app ready (if you’re a member, you could use 50 points in exchange for a 2-3 mins ride). This is when we were told that the ride is only for 120cm and above ! Both my kids are below that requirement, and they were looking forward.. that’s pretty disappointed to be honest. There ain’t no fun and it’s a boring park if you can’t go on the sleigh. So we left for Snoopy World’s playground. Note: sleigh ride requirement as below - ✅120 cm and above (this is not mentioned in brochure nor promoting posts by others) ✅SHKP points x 50pts or ✅ receipts of spending at the mall (split the bills, be it 2-3 bottles of water) The Sportszone ends on 26 / Nov / 2021 #sharing #review #hkkids #hkparents #hkblogger #hkmoms #hongkongkids #afterschool #outdoor #activities #kidsactivities #sportszone #shatin #newtownplaza #mykids馬來港孩 #放學後 #課後活動 #純分享

Amphibians or Reptiles ?

Do you know how to differentiate amphibians and reptiles? Well, we learnt that (yes, even as adult, I learnt with my kids) at the amphibian classroom held by ki2zoo . Kids absolutely love the class ! They asked to have a pet gecko or snake few months back, but of course, mommy is no fan of cold-blooded pet, so I rejected 😂 Hence, they’re looking forward to this class, being able to held and pet those (in their word) “cute and adorable” little geckos and baby snakes. The 1hour 20mins class time include introducing, little quiz game for kids, picture and petting time. Kids now know that the 🥚 eggs for reptiles and amphibians are different, reptile’s is with eggshells and the latter lay eggs in water and covered in gel ; 🦎 reptiles’ skins are dry, hard and scaly while 🐸 amphibians are smooth and highly porous : and amphibians needs water in their habitat their life cycles involves that.

DB Beach Playground

Beach Playground at Discovery Bay One of our family's all time favourite! It's impossible not to love this place; beach, playground, plaza are definitely best combination. We easily spent 4-5 hours here. I'm guessing because of it's less convenient location compared to other beaches, we find if less crowded even on Sundays. This place is officially called the Tai Pak Beach playground, though we normally call it the Beach Playground. Alongside the usual play equipment such as swings, slides, seesaw, climbing nets and racks, there are simple play structures set out for kids to improve their coordination and balance, and not forgetting kids all time favourite - the zipline. K and D spent equally much time at both the beach and the playground. The sea water quality ain't perfect but I guess it's considered reasonably clean and safe for kids to get wet and wild. Toilet and showers: Right next to the playground are shower area, toilets and changing rooms. Or just simply rinse off at the entrance/ exits of the beach when you're heading to the Plaza. Shades: Not really. You could pick a spot closer to the pavement which some are covered by the shadows of trees along the pavement Coffee: 5~10 mins away at the DB Plaza. Not only coffee, there are supermarket, coffee joints, juice station, restaurant and cafes Enclosed: Not at all There are several ways to get there, such as 1. MTR to Sunny Bay then take the bus DB03R to DB Plaza 2. MTR to Tung Chung then take the bus DB01R to DB Plaza 3. Direct ferry (25 minutes ride) from Central Pier 3 to DB Pier Mommy Thinks: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kids Thinks: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ x #outdoorplayground #beachplayground #hkkids #hkmoms #hongkongkids #hkblogger #hongkongplayground #discoverybay #lantauisland #outdoor #mykids馬來港孩 #兒童遊樂場 #香港遊樂場 #沙灘 #沙灘遊樂場 #週末好去處 #親子好去處 #親子活動 #香港親子活動 #親子好去處懶人包

Months ago we joined a radish theme farm activities organised by 小朱ee from Running Baby. It was held at Veg Garden, Tai Po. D is a huge fan of radish cake, so when I know the making of radish cake is one of the activities, I know I have to go. There are limited parking space right outside of the Veg Garden, we are lucky that someone is leaving by the time we got there. It’s quite spacious in garden. I would say it’s a simple farm but definitely tidy. First activity is radish making ! We are provided with a mixture of shredded radish, cornstarch, rice flour and pepper which we have to mix them in a big plastic bowl then add some cooking liquids and mix it until it’s well-incorporated. Then, add the fried shrimp, diced chinese black mushrooms, scallions and stir it. After all are done, we leave it in the big steamer to cook for about 45 - 60mins. We used the white part of the turnips to make the cake, and make dumplings with the remaining leaves and stems. Diced them and mix it with minced pork, prepared the dumpling wrapper and a bowl of water as “glue” to stick them. Dumplings are for us to bring home to cook before we eat. Next coming up is story telling and treasure hunt activities. One of their farmer held books and papers, have children sitting around her, and begins the story about turnips, introducing the life cycle of turnips, then have children run around the farm looking for the clues on growth of turnips. Once completed, they have to show it to the guardian at the farm for confirmation and get permission to pick the turnips from the farm. When these activities are done, our cakes are cook and we are ready to go!!
