I used to be a BIG fan of playhouses. For me it was a safe place to bring kids to play for hours and hours. Many times I’ve brought Jael to playhouses either to play with him or to work while he played. However, lately I’ve been afraid of bringing him to places like these because of the various illnesses and diseases that have been reported. An example is hand foot and mouth disease which has become commonplace in playhouses. It’s also no surprise as these places don’t get the daily cleaning it needs from hundreds of kids playing in the various spaces.
Jael had decided to skip his field trip in favor of trying Tinker House at SM Fairview. Jael loves science experiments and fun activities and what drew his eye was the slime making being offered. Jael has actually made tons of slime and bought ready made slime as well but he never seems to tire of it.
Upon visiting Tinker House, I could see that there were various activities available to kids and the homey yet playful decor and set up is very appealing to kids. Since we had visited on a weekday, there weren’t many kids there. In fact, it was just us and one other family.
There’s a classroom for Tinker Tots, a play program for 2 to 4 years old. One side of the room is for cleaning up and the other side is wall to wall of activities that kids can choose from.
Slime Making (Php250)
Jael chose to make Fluffy Slime and he really enjoyed it. There are different techniques to slime making and he was already familiar with this one but it was still fun for him.
String Art (Php250)
I used to do tons of arts and crafts and I actually became nostalgic thinking back to my days of painting, sketching, bean bags, clay art and such. I chose String Art for us to do since Jael wanted an activity that we could both participate in but it was a little tough for him and I ended up finishing it.
Magnet Making (Php200)
While Jael waited for me to finish with my String Art he made a Minecraft sword magnet. All these projects require certain skills so kids will definitely learn something from each activity. This magnet making activity focused on proportions and there was a bit of math in it trying to get the design right before it was ironed and made into a magnet.
The activities are reasonably priced and you can choose to do one up to how many you’d like.
Other activities being offered are:
Paper Mache | Fuse Beads | Felt Crafts | Claydough | 3D Wooden Puzzles | S.T.E.M. Toys | Circuits | Funbots | Hidden Toys
