Jacob Ballas Children's Garden

We've had a busy couple of days. Yesterday Underwater World, a Pink Dolphin show at Dophin Lagoon, and pool play. Today, a ride on the cable car, a couple hours of play at Jacob Ballas Children's Garden, a look see (and buy) at Toys R Us, and more shopping for me at Singapore's largest shopping center, Vivo City. We knew of the Children's Garden from a family formerly residing in Tokyo, now living in Singapore, unfortunately visiting Canada this week. Part of the Botanic Gardens, the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden is an amazing outlet for discovery play. Roo was thrilled with all things including the large tree house, the waterfall cave, the interactive exhibit explaining photosynthesis, the maze created with rows of shrubbery, the large outdoor cube puzzles, and of course the hottest (actually coolest) item, water fountain play. He wasn't fond of the swinging bridge. After our play in the sun, we retreated to the aircon in a large mall. I don't often bring Roo to toys stores. Most things I order online. So, a stroll through the isles of Toys R Us was fun for all of us. We left Toys R Us with some Ben 10 figures, a playmobil firefighter, a couple transformer books, and a hair trim for Roo.
