School holiday fun at the malls

It's that time of the year when families can unwind, with the school holidays around the corner. Expect plenty of entertainment, especially for kids, as these shopping malls pull out all the stops with a gamut of exciting activities.

ROPE FUN ACROSS FRASERS PROPERTY SINGAPORE MALLS

The malls of Frasers Property Singapore are launching The RopeScape, Singapore's largest crochet rope playground, a combination of individual nylon ropes crocheted by hand to form a 10m by 7m structure for children to play in.

It will be set up at seven malls of Frasers Property Singapore from May 29 to July 1.

With a $5 donation for 20 minutes of play time, shoppers can let their kids have fun while chipping in for the greater good.

All proceeds will be donated to the Association for Persons with Special Needs (APSN) Centre for Adults.

At the end of the event, these ropes will be upcycled and transformed into a variety of everyday items from key chains to skipping ropes by APSN and a team of dedicated volunteers.

These crafted products will also be put up for sale, and proceeds will go to the Centre for Adults.

The first RopeScape will be set up at Waterway Point and officials from the Singapore Book of Records will be present to certify the playground as Singapore's largest crochet rope playground.
