My Kids 馬來港孩

I just have to blog about today’s “unplanned but turned out to be absolutely enjoyable” afternoon at Stanley.  Originally today was supposed to be a just lunch and playground outing. While kids are climbing at the playground, we saw a queue and found out the “treasure hunt but in Trick O Treat style” kind of activity going on in community!  Basically kids would just go to places pinned on map, once they spot the posters in regards of “shiver me Stanley Timber”, they could walk in and ask for 🍬 candies, not forgetting to stamp their map before leaving. There are 25 places scattered around, from Stanley plaza to Stanley markets. Local businesses and neighbours got involved. It’s amazing how they don’t mind to sit and wait for the kids, being cheerful and friendly; and shops with customers waiting still squeeze time to entertain kids that’s coming in for the game.  The whole thing is full of excitement and fun! 🎉 X  #halloween2021 #halloweeninhongkong #kidshalloween #...

I knew there’s a children playground just opposite of K11 Musea and on top of MTR station - East Tsim Sha Tsui but haven’t had time to explore that. Then, the opportunity dropped in.  The playground have 2 areas where one is for toddlers and the other one is for bigger kids age 5-12 years old.  Toddlers area equipped with sensory boards, spring horses, shorter slides, tunnels and simple stairs. My kids love the big one. Why wouldn’t they? The playground is big, and equipped with zipline, climbing racks, rock climbing walls, swings, slides, wobbly bridge, pathways attaching different parts of the playground etc. Furthermore, it’s not just physically fun! This playground is spacious enough for kids to do role playing (the castles and knights and mystical creatures kind of thing), or just run around playing tag !  We arrived shortly after lunch on a sunny weekday, hence the empty playground. Kids spending approx 2 hours at the playground, not wanting to leave even after I to...

 📚 📚 📚  A book to read with your little one, giving them a glimpse of the world.  Little Martin’s friend invited him to play at his house but was shocked when friend’s mother wouldn’t let him in because of his skin colour,  he is black. That day he realized there was something terribly unfair going on in the community, the segregation that was happening in USA, where there are separate spaces for black and white peoples at public spaces. Martin promised that when he grew up, he will fight injustice peacefully, with the most powerful weapon of all: words. He encouraged people all over the country to stand up for their rights and join in with peaceful protest. And when the story of a black woman, Rosa was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on bus, Martin speaks up, asking his community not to take bus until the law has changed, that’s the first civil right movement in the country. Many citizens were inspired by Martin, he became the youngest to...

  On Sunday morning, we finally drop by the newly built playground everyone’s been talking and asking about. The one that gives the Japanese playground vibes. The one that seems to be different than most of the locals playground.  I like the design of this park, how it makes full use of the spaces in hand. Ground floor is football ⚽️, upper floor with 🎾 tennis courts and finally first floor aka the platform is where the children playground located.  Spacious and windy when we got there around 9.30 in the morning. Quite a small area, I must say. There’s 5 areas:  1. The fitness corner for adults  2. The globe play equipment  3. The merry-go-round  4. The swings  5. The trampoline  My kids love “the globe” so much! It’s their favourite. Even we, the parents thought it’s fun, finally something different. The Globe has plenty of climbing nets which are perfect for kids to work on their balancing, core and coordination; then there’s 3 slides with...

I’m not sure if I’ll ever find out this playground if not because K is having tennis training here. Apparently, there are plenty of tennis courts at Morse Park.  To my surprise , Morse Park is actually quite a big park, divided into few section; Morse Park no 1 which is where the basketball court located  and next to the sports centre, Morse Park 2 is next to Wong Tai Sin Cultural Garden, Morse Park No. 3 which is the soccer pitch, then Morse Park No. 4 which is where tennis courts and skateboard park located. I’m pretty sure there are another children’s playground  at Morse Park No. 1 but it’s far away from No. 4, so we just hang out at the one nearby.  I do think it’s a great playground in core and strength training. Different type of climbing bars, balancing log, see-saw and rock climbing walls with 2 mini slides. Climbing in general helps children to build their physicals and gross motor skills. Different climbing structures have the following benefits:  1. ...

Just 5 mins walk from Ho Man Tin station of MTR Tuen Ma Line, it’s the Ho Man Tin Park, where the children’s playground is right in front of the sport centre.  This park is up the hill, behind Oi Man Plaza, across a secondary school. Separate into 2 areas for one is age 2-5 and another 5 and above. In between are benches for resting. This is probably the only playground that’s fully shaded with shading cloth! We were there in the morning , close to 11am and it’s a sunny day, but kids are covered.  Play equipment for elder kids includes slides, monkey bars and climbing walls: where it’s easier versions at the younger kids side, with 2 spring horses. My kids spent most time on monkey bars and climbing walls, it’s tad bit boring for them, but we still spend a good 45 mins at the playground 😂  I like that it’s shaded and clean.  Shaded: Fully Enclosed: Not really, but it’s in the sports centre compound which there’s only one way out via the gate  Toilet and refresh...

Last month was Karena’s birthday month and she’s invited friends from her kindergarten to celebrate with her. To accommodate 9 kids in total, I’ve choose to held a small party Ryze. Ryze Hong Kong is the largest trampoline park in town. It has over 40 trampolines interconnecting from wall to wall, and there are foam pits and rope swings to work on like ninja trainings... Kids love this place ! We parents do think it is “taking bouncy castles at parties” to a whole new level. Note: 1. Liability waiver to be signed before you go to enhance the check in process. We signed online, and it will stay on file for a year (you don’t have to sign again when you visit during the period) 2. Book in advance to avoid disappointment. Yes you’re allow you walk in, but there’s limited space, and you don’t know if everyone decided to go on the same day 3. Each jumper must wear their grip socks, which you can purchase it online or at counter Mommy think : Kids think : Opening: Weekend 0900-2100 ...
