Ninjas for real

As the 80’s kids, one of my favourite movie is the American movie titled the 3 ninjas. You know, the ninja grandpa training his grandchildren Rocky, Cole and Tom Tom to be ninja kids? Anyway, I was super excited to joined #Kidstart ‘s #NinjasOntheMouseIsland activity in May. Definitely going to be fun with this interesting combination of Ninjas and Playground !


In case you’ve no idea, Mouse Island is an adventurous children playground located in Tuen Mun, in between Siu Lun Court and Hanford Garden. 


First we all meet up at the pavilion, Ninja master taught little ninjas to make their own darts and sword ! After that, they have to sit and listen to the “history” of ninja lesson before getting their attires. Master gave the little ninjas a couple of missions, off they go to the adventure land ! 


There’s quite a few missions to be completed at the Mouse Island. They have to climb up the ship using the chains, cross the river using hand bar, jump over crocodile creek, attack the bad guys by using the dart, march back to the land, walk along the wall like a gecko, jumping in between rocks etc. 










I do think role playing is good for kids, enhancing their creativity and conception on the assignments or duties, create the ability to play along with their imagination. Ninja sure is a special role to them; K and friend enjoyed so much. She still like to act like a ninja every now and then. Remembering the “high ya” and top-toeing to walk quietly and pretending to be unnoticeable. That’s incredible experience and moments to be remembered for a long time.

High Island Reservoir East Dam (萬宜水庫東壩)

A couple of months ago, I planned on an easy scenery walk with kids and their friends. We left home right after school, only managed to grab a bite on the way to Sai Kung. There are plenty of hiking trails waiting for us in Sai Kung but this time, we go for the easiest route, just a short visit to the East Dam.  It’s a reservoir formed in 1978, known for the volcanic rock columns and anchor shape sea barrier(錨形防波提), a breakwater. There’s public toilets right at the entrance to High Land Reservoir East Dam, along there’s information on volcanic rocks and pavilion. It’s concrete or asphalt pavements all the way down to the sea cave which is proof of coastal erosion (海蝕洞).  On your way down to the breakwater, there’s a gigantic wall of volcanic rocks, which is the hexagonal rocks columns! Its a 140 millions year old volcanic history. Along the way you passed the road with sea barrier (my suggestion is to spend time here on your way out), hexagonal volcanic rocks on your right a...

Hiking : Tsuen Wan to Sha Tin

Even though we enjoying having friends around, we always make times for just the four of us. And we love hiking as a family. It is a bonding experience and allow us to exercise together. Hiking motivates kids to be active and teaches them to appreciate the nature. Family hike is usually on a Sunday. We started at Tsuen Wan’s Shing Mun Country Park. Once arrived at the starting point, turn right and continue walking on paved road (watch out for cars), it’s anti-clockwise along the reservoir. Walk along Wilson-trail sec 7, the reservoir is on your left, until you reach a T point where your left is a bridge. Take the stairs on your right towards the paved road, then turn left to continue walking. You will be crossing a bridge, and it marks the beginning of a more challenging hike. From the bridge, it’s mostly slopes, all the way towards the other hills to Shatin. After the first slope at a junction, there the only cubicle toilets. I suggest to take a break. There’s a signboard, continue...

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors.  However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep;  1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses  2. Stock up your backpack.  Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...
