Fisher-Price's Play And Learn

This is a backdated post! The weekend before last, we were invited by Advertlets to Empire Hotel in Subang Jaya for Fisher-Price's "The Power of Play". It was a mini workshop conducted by their guest speaker Ms Carrie Lupoli, who is the Founder of Live & Learn (Singapore) prior to the actual workshop in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, we could only make it for morning talk and not the afternoon workshop since it would clash with Kay's nap time. And you know how grouchy a toddler can be without her sleep! Though I'm certain Zen would have loved it!! How do I know? Here's the proof...

as we arrived 15 minutes before the start of the programme...

As for me, I did learn a lot about "learning through play"... though I had always wanted to put this into practice, sometimes, with 2 screaming kids each demanding my full attention, it was a bit hard not to fall into our parents' learn-or-else method... But I'm glad to say that I had been more patient with Zen (though my blood pressure is rising) and let him learn at his pace and making it as fun as possible... wish me luck, lots of it...

Here's Ms Wong Lai Kwan, brand manager of Mattel Southeast Asia (left) and Ms Lupoli (right) introducing the age appropriate toys. Actually, it doesn't mean that kids from other ages can't play with a particular toy meant for a certain age... I mean Zen still play with (read: fight over) Kay for their toys... I believe the most important thing here is the process of playing and of course, having great fun!...

and last but not least... the goody bag!! Yippee!!!
