It’s the holiday season once again, which means kids might be at home all-day staring at their phones and iPads.
If you’re looking for fun activities that’ll get them out to play, look no further.
We’ve come up with a list of fun-to-dos and events so you can make the most out of their short break.
1. Tokidoki Bouncy Castle at Changi Airport

We’re pretty excited to make our kids slide down dinosaurs and tire themselves out.
