The Playmakers (A child-led, open-ended play programme) is a creative communal play space designed for young children to engage actively in their urges of independent play while meeting other children for early socialisation.
Children construct meaningful connections and firsthand discoveries through the wonders of open-ended everyday objects & upcycled materials with no right-or-wrong way to use them.
Each session offers children an opportunity to lead their play and be that competent, creative, meaning makers. The Playmakers is a safe space for young children to experience the joy of true play and for parents/caregivers to connect and learn about who our children are. Ruby will also engage with the parents individually during the sessions to share her observations and insights about how each parent can facilitate their own play at home with their little ones.
In this edition, each Playmakers slot is for 2 hours. Participants can arrive anytime, go out for a break and/or come back, within this 2-hour duration. We recommend that audiences spend at least approximately 45min within the playmakers space to experience the session. Explore Lost Islands will also be accessible during your 2 hour slot.
Please bring a small towel and an extra set of clothes as things may get messy.

Exploring the World in Black & White
High-contrast, high-curiosity!

Perfect for babies, toddlers & curious preschoolers!
Tap into the magic of contrast.

B is for… Boats, Bears, Buses, Balls, Blocks & Buzzing Bees!
Our Letter B sensory setup is bursting with hands-on learning — from floating boats and block towers to busy buses, bear habitats, big balls, and buzzing bees. As children explore, they’re building early literacy skills, strengthening fine motor control, expanding vocabulary, and practicing problem-solving in the most joyful way. Watch for all the “B moments” in their play & exploration.
So many playful opportunities to hear, feel, and experience the Letter B in action!
