🏷 $10 per adult-child pair, $5 for each additional adult (inclusive of GST)

Are you a caregiver for a child with special needs, in need of a well-deserved break this March? We’ve got you covered with two parallel experiences for caregivers and children based on our beloved Story of the Forest immersive installation!

Part 1: Enjoy a relaxing tour of Story of the Forest together, engaging your senses as you “meet” the plants and animals of the Malayan peninsula.

Part 2: Caregivers will embark on a 1-hour nature and forest bathing experience in Fort Canning Park, facilitated by a certified nature and forest therapy guide. This gentle guided sensory exploration will invite you to open your senses, (re)discover yourself and others, and appreciate the pleasures of nature. Concluding with a tea sharing session, this nature and forest bathing experience will leave you with a refreshed mind, body, and spirit. This activity is in partnership with Xiu Nature Connections.

Simultaneously, your child will participate in a digital illustration workshop developed by Superhero Me, featuring deaf wildlife illustrator Kenneth Chin and 11-year-old animal enthusiast Fong Git Yu. In addition to learning about Singapore’s natural environment, your child will be guided to draw using Procreate on an iPad and create GIFs with animation.
