I simply love Pasir Ris Park

Here's the educational side of Pasir Ris Park. This new addition is in the form of a maze and it appeal to those who are very young to the older kids looking for a game to play with their friends.



Not only can you get your child to point out the spelling of his name, you can also teach your pre-schooler all the letters of the alphabets. I like how the capital letters and the small letters are all jumbled up. Get your child to point to all the big letters (uppercase) and then all the small letters (lower case). Hone their concentration, scanning ability and perseverance through this activity! Have a race to see who can find a letter faster if you happen to have more than one kid with you (it doesn't matter if you don't know the kids, get them to join in the fun that you are having with your child may help your child make a new friend on the playground!).


If your chid has yet to learn how to write the numbers and letters, this is a great board to teach them to trace around each number. Moving his entire arm to write it big help to enhance a child's memory of how a letter is formed. Why not head over to the sand area after this to do some writing on the sand with a stick? Write a big 8 and get your kid to walk the shape of the infinity! It'll prove quite a challenge!


Keep that stick that you find to write on the sand as you can change it into a drumstick (this help children to see that an object can be of multiple usage and develops their creativity and flexbility). Now for those staying in the east, you do not have to go all the way to Science Centre to let your child try out how different sizes of percussion instruments make different depth of pitch and tones!
