Update

Due to the F1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix, access to Esplanade will be limited. As such, Craft Your Own Octopus at PIP’s PLAYbox will start on 7 Oct, Tue instead of 6 Oct, Mon. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Synopsis

Join in the fun and be part of Our Friends in the Sea! Using bottlecaps and other upcycled materials provided on-site, create a mini octopus to add to the vibrant underwater display, or take it home as a keepsake.

 

This self-guided activity is inspired by the large-scale installation at PIP’s PLAYbox that was created by preschoolers across Singapore.

Advisory:

PIP’s PLAYbox is open from 11am – 6pm daily (closed for cleaning from 2pm – 3pm).

 

Please note that children aged 5 years old and younger should be accompanied by one parent/guardian as the activity involves the use of scissors.

Recommended Age: 4 and above.
Things to Note:
