From Lego competitions to Disney-themed toys, families have fresh ways to bond
Families looking for meaningful and fun ways to spend time together now have new options that combine creativity, imagination, and hands-on play for children of different ages.
Legoland Challenge Encourages Teamwork And Imagination
The Legoland School Challenge 2026 is inviting children aged seven to 17 to team up with schoolmates and represent their schools in a regional competition that celebrates creativity, collaboration, and innovation through play. Open to students from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines, the challenge requires teams of three or four students from the same school to design an imaginative theme park attraction using Lego or Duplo bricks, along with a short 100-word story explaining their idea.
Competition Offers Exciting Rewards For Young Builders
Registration for the Legoland competition closes on April 26, while photo and video submissions of completed builds must be sent in between June 8 and June 21. Finalists will be invited to compete at Legoland Malaysia Resort in September and will enjoy a two-night stay at Legoland Hotel. Junior category winners will receive a holiday at the Johor theme park, while Primary and Secondary champions will win a trip to Legoland Shanghai Resort, currently the largest Legoland park in the world.
Play-Doh And Disney Junior Launch Creative Sets For Pre-Schoolers
For younger children, Play-Doh and Disney Junior have teamed up to introduce a new collection of themed play sets inspired by Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. The products are designed to encourage open-ended play, tactile storytelling, and creativity, giving pre-schoolers a playful way to explore familiar characters while building fine motor skills and imagination through shaping, stamping, and decorating activities.
Shape A Story Set Blends Play And Storage
One of the main highlights in the collection is the Shape A Story set, priced at S$29.90, which is designed like a board book that children can flip through to discover new scenes. It comes with themed tools such as rollers, stampers, and the Goofy Fun Factory, allowing kids to create shapes with Play-Doh and decorate the pages. When playtime ends, the set also functions as a storage case, helping parents keep everything organized.
Simple Play Options Also Add To Family Time
Another option in the collection is the Happy Stackable set, priced at S$19.90, which includes themed stampers packed in a Mickey-themed container. Available at Toys “R” Us, Lazada, and department stores such as Isetan, these products offer parents easy ways to turn ordinary afternoons into creative bonding sessions. Together with activities like the Legoland challenge, they show that family time can be made more special through playful and imaginative experiences.
These latest family-friendly activities show how play can do more than entertain children. For families in Singapore, they offer new ways to build creativity, teamwork, and stronger connections at home and beyond. For Indonesians and Singaporeans alike, they also reflect a growing demand for activities that combine fun with learning, making family time feel more purposeful and memorable.
