Toys from Wise Kids @ Cyberport

Fire fighting playset: Equipment + Firefighter + Special Edition FDNY Fire Fighter....



Knights and Astronauts...



...and a 6 piece block puzzle.



This one I didn't even think of buying. The surgeon in the mask with an oversized 'cleaver' knife looked too disturbing.

Sun or "Tai-Yang" ?

BY: Sun

Ah Mah walks in...
Mummy : (in mandarin) BY, tell Ah Mah what this is?
BY: Sun!

BY: *shakes head* NO! *shakes head* SUN!!!

Mummy starts laughing.... Whaa...Baby can correct other people leow!

Supermelon



You are like a supercharged demolition machine in the supermarket. The moment your feet touches the floor, it's GO!!! The bigger and heavier the item, the more challenging it is to lift, drag and ran away with. We put one carton of milk in the trolley, you help with 4 dozen more. If we try to take anything away from you, you ran away, as fast as your two legs can take you, to the next aisle!

Mummy: No, it's blue. *points to the ball that BY is holding* What color is that?
BY: BLUE!
Mummy: No, that's a GREEN ball.
*Mummy started laughing*

Definitely not some crazy mother here. I think you got the concept of colors after a while. You could pass me all the RED balls if I held one up for you to compare. YEAH!

This is quite a surreal picture. Looks like an alien ship landing and you running away from it. Actually, it's really quite strange that the stadium looks deserted. Hmmmm....

Easter Egg Hunt

Eggonomics:

24 eggs were hidden. 16 kids expected. 10 turned up. 1 kid refused to look for any, preferring instead, to play a supervisory role and give instructions to the other 9 kids. 4 kids were too young to look for them and were each given 1 egg. You managed to find one, surprisingly. The last 4 kids (age between 4-8) gathered 19 eggs amongst themselves.

Congratulations! You are now officially a member of the National Library!

More GeoTrax!



Bought another pack of the GeoTrax tracks for you. Couldn't resist the 60% discount. You already have 2 king-size comforter bags full of parts from this train set! My only excuse is that you love playing with it and have been playing with them everyday for weeks on end.
