Children’s Season: Little Phoenixes & Dragons at Perankan Museum

We went for one of Peranakan Museum’s Drop-in Wednesdays and had tons of fun! Adrian and I are both part-Peranakan so I think it’s great that Anya has this opportunity to learn more about the culture of the Peranakans in Singapore. She printed a silkscreen T-shirt, played with a Peranakan shophouse doll house and coloured a tile. I made a shrink plastic keychain! Oh, and Anya got to dress up as a little nyonya in a sarong kebaya! There are exciting activities on between 1 & 5pm for the next 3 Wednesdays and it’s definitely worth a trip down.
