Children's Garden

Treehouse

This morning I took the kids to the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden at the Singapore Botanical Gardens.  It's a great place to take the kids to for a quick outing and to burn some energy.  The kids love the treehouse (left) which contains 2 slides, stairs, rope ladder, vertical ladder and a few seating areas.  Some other highlights include a water (sprinkler) play area, a sand patch, a maze, a rope bridge and a waterfall.

My child are too young to spend too much time learning about plants and flowers, but today presented the opportunity to talk to them about banana trees and pineapple plants.  I showed them  banana bunches and then tried to connect them back to the Banana Boat Song Day O song performed by the Wiggles.
