SINGAPORE – Make family time all the more special with these ideas and activities.

Sanrio mini building blocks

Running out of display space for your kids’ building blocks playsets? Singapore game-play and entertainment brand Play Nation has launched a line of miniature building blocks featuring popular Sanrio characters. Each compact set folds into a 9cm square case for easy storage or on-the-go play.

The Pikku! A Miniature World series ($29.90 each) is touted as the first Sanrio-licensed mini blocks toy collection. Inspired by the four seasons, the five designs include Hello Kitty’s beach club, Pompompurin’s summer camp, Cinnamoroll’s winter wonderland, My Melody’s spring picnic and Kuromi’s fall cafe.

Expansion sets ($12.90 each) are also available to build new scenes within the Pikku! cases.

You will also want to get your hands on the new Jetset Journeys Blind Box Key Rings ($18.90 each). This mini building block series, which doubles as bag charms, is styled after the five characters’ travel adventures. For example, My Melody is on a zen retreat while Pompompurin is on a safari quest.

These collections are exclusively available first at FairPrice, FairPrice Finest, FairPrice Xtra supermarkets, selected Cheers and FairPrice Xpress stores and

Emma Memma live show

Popular Australian children’s entertainer Emma Memma will bring her Dance Island Party to Singapore from Sept 8 to 11.

Memma is known for integrating sign language, singing and dancing into her performances to create an inclusive experience for families.

Her upcoming shows, a collaboration with Singapore’s MindChamps PreSchool, aligns with their shared beliefs.

“In my work, I have always believed that music, movement and sign language are not just skills, but also ways to nurture empathy, connection and confidence. That’s the heartbeat of MindChamps too,” says Memma.

She was the first female member of the beloved Australian children’s group The Wiggles from 2013 to 2021 before she embarked on her solo career.

At her Singapore performances, young audiences will receive an activity booklet which encourages drawing and teaches basic sign language.

Memma, whose real name is Emma Watkins, encourages families to revisit the booklet after the show, practise the signs and have their own family dance time.

“These little rituals help embed the learning and extend the joy far beyond the theatre,” she says.

While there are multiple showtimes, only the 7.30pm performances are open to the public. Priced from $29 to $69, tickets are available via
