We ride bikes, garden, ice skate, draw, swim, go to playgroups, play lego, board games, bake cakes, experiment with throwing color water into the swimming pool (our own not communal).

Am thinking of signing my son up for extra curriculur activities then it could be wushu, football and whatever activities that are being offered.

There is no shortage of things to do here and if they love swimming, they will love Singapore! Singapore is great for children.

We swim and go for walks in the evening when it's cooler. Bowling and cinema are preferred activities as it's air-conditioned.

We used to go out and about and do walks around the reservoirs and go to the zoo etc but after a while it all becomes a bit 'same same' I'm afraid - it was good for the first few years, but we've been here 9 years now and our kids are very 'over' the heat - they prefer to go out when it's raining!
