Red PEA !!!

Brought Jaslynn and Justin to McDonalds last Saturady for some Red PEA. No, it's not a new Kids' menu. It's a new programme that Mcdonald's came up with to attract more children (and $$ of course). Now the kids have 1 more excuse to go to McDonald's. Red PEA actually stands for Play, Exercise & Art.

We were there at about 3.15pm and was informed by the STARs that we actually needed to pre-register for the Art segment. Issit? Nobody told me leh. But they were kind enough to slot us in. There were actually quite a lot of children.

They started off with the Arts segment where they had Face Painting for this 'season' (May - June). The segment was conducted by Little Art Bug Workshop and the materials were provided by Lyra Asia.

The theme for the day was Shrek and since Daddy's art wasn't too good, so had to settle for those easy to draw ones. Drew one of the Three Blind Mice for Justin.

Jaslynn had a Puss In Boots on her left arm.

Justin also trying to have a go at Face Painting.

After the Art segment, we did some Exercise ! This was the highlight of the day where Ronald himself conducted the segment. All the kids squealed and clapped as Ronald made his way to the front.

Ronald led to kids in doing some 'warm up' before the began playing the games. The warm up was a messy 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' where the kids loved and the whole place was filled with laughter.

The last segment was the Play segment. Which was by The Finger Players, who 'provide loads of fun through interactive puppetry and show-telling. Instilling messages of "love, care and family values"'.

The Company's unique brand of puppet theatre has won awards in Singapore and recognition around the world. The Finger Players is a non-profit company with charity status. For the May / June period, they presented Puppets Alive!2.



Justin was a little scared of the puppets at first and he stayed with me at the back. He peeped through the row of kids to catch a glimpse.










He finally spotted his Jie Jie (sister) in the front row and so went to sit on her lap.
