Event Highlights

Also on board is National Library Board as the Official Storyland Partner, presenting another Singaporean folklore which will be unveiled nearer to event date.
A colouring and art contest will be held for the first time at The Kidz Academy, and themed Singapore’s folklores and legends. The contest will be open to children from ages 5 to 12 years old, with prizes worth more than $2,400 in total.
The event will also feature back-to-school games, activities and food from the 60s to 90s with the objective of introducing children to a non-digital era that their parents have grown up in.

The students will be creating special knick-knacks made from mostly environmentally-friendly materials to be sold at the respective schools and during the three-day event.
Another fundraising effort will witness the organisers working with The Salvation Army Singapore to raise funds for its local causes through The Kidz Academy Book Cart, which will make its round to schools, offices and the event venue to sell second-hand children books from local and international authors at a fixed price of $2.90 each.
