Ditch The Phone – Incorporate New Experiences With Your Kids This School Holidays

School Holidays Activity Ideas

When school holidays approaches, parents start to look for things to fill their days when the kids are home. It’s also usually the school holidays where parents create new experiences for the kids and perhaps for themselves at the same time.

Duchess of Cambridge (now Princess of Wales) revealed in her Happy Mum, Happy Baby Interview Podcast in 2020 that she tries to incorporate a lot of experiences that her granny gave her; into the experiences she give to her children now. Doing simple things like taking a walk, cooking, doing arts and crafts and essentially spending time together. Here are a few ideas that families can do with their kids this school holidays.

1. Reconnect With Nature This School Holidays

Take a break from the city life and reconnect with nature. Get outdoors and spice up your healthy living habits by exploring the nature reserves and parks via the Park Connector Network of Singapore (PCN)!

Whether it’s cycling, walking, running or hiking, take some time away from the screens and dive into an adventure like no other? It’s a great way to get the whole family involved with physical activity and bonding.

Get out and make some lasting memories while staying active in spectacular sights around our garden city.

2. Cooking Or Baking Together

Bonding experiences in the kitchen are invaluable for both parents and children. In pre-schools, the kids get to do pretend play at the kitchen corner. When you cook or bake together with the kids, the little ones get to watch the process of making real food from scratch, and they even get to help out! Not only do they learn how to make delicious dishes, but also how to practice delayed gratification by creating something together over time.

After a successful batch of cookies or tasty pasta dish, not only are bellies satisfied, but memories made that last a lifetime – ones that will definitely be looked back on one day with a grateful heart and childlike smile. So get the kids involved today – let them know they’re just as important in the kitchen as dad and mom!

3. Playing Games During School Holidays

If you’re looking for some good old-fashioned fun, nothing beats playing games with your family! Playing games is an timeless way to bring together people of all ages and have a great time.

From card games like uno, to board classics such as Monopoly, or even some of the amazing video games gets everyone to increase their team work skills to bring everyone together For the younger kids, the exercise allow them to practice and learn to take turns.

You might be surprised just how much fun you can have while making good memories at the same time. Get competitive, joke around and enjoy each other’s company while doing something active that’ll make everyone laugh!

4. Create Something Together This School Holidays

We all take far too many photos these days. From selfies to record keeping photos; saving photos taken by the preschool teachers. With the average person spending over three hours on their phone every day, it’s no wonder our photo libraries are overflowing. But what good are all those pictures if they’re just sitting on our phones, never to be seen again?

This school holidays, why not involve your kids and family in compiling their memories? Go through your family photos together, shortlist the ones you want to print and make into photo albums or even for scrap booking. You can sort the photos by year and compile those photos into a yearly like some of our clients have done. It’s a great bonding activity and a rewarding experience to look back on those happy memories for years to come. It’s a celebration of little moments that benefit us even if they’re small.

5. Go On An Adventure

Exploring new places in your own country can be a fun and rewarding adventure. Taking the time to engage with new cultures, unfamiliar sights, and different sounds, can be energizing and inspiring. Take advantage of the opportunity, no matter where you live – hit the beach to watch a sunset, visit an old temple or take a night time stroll through the city. Be a tourist all over again. As a tourist you’ll be inspired by new experiences as you observe and learn from all that new environment has to offer – new life stories, food specialties and beautiful scenery. So no matter how often you’ve traveled before – don’t forget to take some time out and explore the new side of Singapore that’s waiting for you!

What Now?

This school holidays, don’t forget to prioritise family bonding. With the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives, it’s easy to take time with those closest to us for granted.

There are many ways to share some special moments together. From getting outside in nature, cooking together in the kitchen, playing games on the couch, creating something together; whatever you decide on there will be an invaluable return – quality time spent with your loved ones!

Put aside all distractions from daily life – unplug from work emails and Netflix binges – and go on an adventure together.

Above all else, remember to have fun! And if you find yourself needing help in compiling photos into an album to keep those good times alive, then don’t hesitate to get in touch!

We had a GREAT TIME shooting with Shafiq! He was friendly and cheerful early in the morning and most importantly, great with kids! It was a challenge shooting with an energetic 6 year old and cranky and sleepy 3 month old, but Shafiq made it a breeze. He was patient when baby was fussing and even assured us it was OK for baby to take a break first while he shot the others. He also tried to incorporate a sleeping baby into our family shot and was quick to capture the fleeting moments when baby was awake or smiling. Really quick thinking on his part! It was truly pleasant interacting with Shafiq and he made today’s photoshoot a great experience for us (and a great start to my birthday for myself)! I truly enjoy the whole process and experience of having my family shots with Bambini and will look forward to more family photoshoots in the years to come to document my boys growing up. Looking forward to the photos to come! (Also loving it that Bambini has a really efficient turnover time after the photoshoot)

Watch Me Grow – Studio Family Photography Singapore

We consider ourselves lucky. Lucky to be able to witness the love and care in families, and watch them grow from the shoots they’ve had with us through the years.

One of the most common reason why people come to have a professional photoshoot is to celebrate and capture the moment. Celebrate the milestones of a person’s life such as birthday, children, mum, dad, grandparents, years of wedding anniversary, new addition to the family, wedding, having a newborn baby, baby’s milestones or graduations.

For some it starts with their first Maternity Shoot as a couple, then a 6-Months Baby Shoot, then a Family Shoot, and then a Generational Family Shoot. Sometimes, the list goes on because photos are never too much – every major milestone is different.

Too often we hear parents say, “It feels like it was just yesterday when they were little.” Time passes us by, and before you know it, our babies are all grown.

The best part of having your photos taken every milestone? Is being able to watch your family change and grow over time again and again, and being able to remember the little moments and feelings that came along with it. We may have different reasons to why we are always taking photos, even if it’s of the same people. Being able to capture our journey, allows our history to be something our future kids can be a part of, from just looking at the photos – letting them see and know who we were once like, how we were like. Your memories become theirs.

We saw two beautiful people who are now parents of three. Dear Rinihartini, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey, to capture the precious milestones in your life and see your little family grow bigger. We could not express our awe of the love you have as a family. We hope that one day your children could feel it too from looking at the photos.

It all began when Rinihartini and Nizam booked their first maternity shoot with us in 2016. Can you believe it? It’s been nearly seven years now. So much has changed.

And they became three! The couple booked a 2-Months Baby photoshoot with us and would you just look their baby. As much as we love Newborn Photography, there’s something about 1-2 Months Photoshoot that makes it precious in its own way. We love their facial expressions and the special moments when parents are carrying and sniffing their babies. They will never be this tiny again.

Sometimes, we manage to get similar looking poses of the babies from photoshoots that we’ve taken in different years – like the two images above & below! Two photos that say a thousands of words. 10 months difference… and their baby turned 1-year old for their Cake Smash Photoshoot.

When Rinihartini was expecting her second child, we felt very honoured to be part of her journey to document this moment again. Some might wonder, why do some mummies have a photoshoot for every pregnancy? Doesn’t it look the same? Here are some reasons why mummies take photos of all of their pregnancies:

1) Mummies get to reminisce each pregnancy

Every pregnancy is different. Pregnancy itself is so special. Your first-born – you were excited and thrilled. Not exactly sure what is to come, but ready to take in and learn everything for your baby together, first time as a family.

Second child – you are feeling more prepared and calm for your second pregnancy. But now, you are thrilled to share your excitement with your first-born, seeing him or her responding to having another little brother or sister.

2) Building a significant moment for the elder siblings to remember about having another sibling

Sometimes we can’t remember everything that happened during our childhood when we are older. Celebrating sometimes helps to build a significant moment that could help them remember in the future, of the time when the family was expecting another baby together.

3) Getting everyone involved in the change and growth

While pregnancy can feel like it’s a solo job for the mummy at times, going out for a breather and spending time with the family can get the kids involved! Rubbing the tummy, kissing the tummy and more. Some elder siblings might get a little fearful of changes too. Spending the time with them to celebrate makes them feel that having a newborn baby coming into the family is fun. It becomes a family activity.

And the family becomes four! The fun part – a photo of the whole family. Might be tricky :D, but definitely worth the time.

Annnnd the family expanded from 4 to 5!

Photos are sentimental. These are the things families look back to and remember how far they’ve gone as a family. It may even be a source of motivation to them, the reason why we keep going.

Being able to watch Rinihartini’s family and many families grow, and to provide a tangible memory for families is the greatest reward to us.

Watch Us Grow – Family Photo Shoot Singapore

Family Photoshoots – Watching Kids Grow

Since we started in 2009, we had been very lucky to witness the love and care in families, and watch them grow from the family photoshoots they’ve had with us through the years.

One of the most common reason why people come to have a professional photoshoot is to celebrate and capture the moment. Celebrate the milestones of a person’s life such as birthday, children, mum, dad, grandparents, years of wedding anniversary, new addition to the family, wedding, having a newborn baby, baby’s milestones or graduations.

Too often we hear parents say, “It feels like it was just yesterday when they were little.” Time passes us by, and before you know it, our babies are all grown.

Chronicles of the Reijngoudt Family

We first met the Reijngoudt family of 7 at Singapore Botanic Gardens in 2012. The youngest boy was 16 months at that time.

The following year, they were back for another family session, this time at West Coast Park.

In 2015, they came back to capture the memories of the kids, this time in our studio. The growth we saw in these kids were phenomenal. We can’t help but keep staring at the photos of them and thinking to ourselves how much they’ve grown since our last session. It seemed like yesterday!

In 2018, we got a note from mum saying this time round, we have a new member, one of the boy’s girlfriend will also be joining in the photoshoot too!

Photos are sentimental. These are the things families look back to and remember how far they’ve gone as a family. It may even be a source of motivation to them, the reason why we keep going.

There is a saying that goes, “Children Spell LOVE as TIME. There may be many reasons as to why you cannot be with your children but none of them can replace the time lost. Once lost, it’s gone forever, you can never recreate the moment again.” The older kids from the Reijngoudt family are already in their late teens, early 20’s now. Perhaps away from home for their studies.

Being able to watch Reijngoudt family and many families grow, and to provide a tangible memory for families is the greatest reward to us.

If you would like to know more information on the photoshoots we have, drop us an email at info@bambiniphoto.sg or give us a call at +65 8717 1558 to chat with our friendly team :)

Such a seamless experience from booking to receiving our photos! Lydia was so accommodating in the booking process, explaining to us the various packages they had. We wanted a newborn photoshoot for our preemie whose corrected age was about a month. We were really looking forward to this since she had spend a long time in hospital however, other companies who only focused on newborn shoots rejected us since she was pass the newborn phase. I was so appreciative that the Bambini is well-versed in photoshoots for multiple age groups and were willing to try newborn poses if my baby tolerated it. If not, they were flexible enough to do a 1 to 2 month shoot for us. The photos turned out amazing and May our photographer was sooo good with our baby! She managed to capture some newborn photos for us too! We were so happy and appreciative that we got those photos and she sent them to us the very next day to view them! Gorgeous photos and priceless memories. Thank you so much to whole team!

We had a really wonderful experience with Bambini. Right from handling our queries to the actual photography session, the team was very professional. Lydia, who answered our queries and helped with the booking, is very patient and accommodating. Syafiq, our photographer, is also very patient. We appreciate his suggestions on the different poses and made us laugh and smile almost the whole time. Thanks again, Bambini.

Bambini was very accommodating to my last minute request, despite close to closing time, my photo session was done after 5 p.m. I am very appreciative for the arrangement. Miss Lydia was very prompt with the administrations of my request. She did it very swiftly. Hence, booking and all my other queries were made easy for me. I am very thankful for this. As for Mr Syafiq, Bambini's photographer, he is really wonderful. His calming disposition made the entire session very relaxing and appeasing for me. Kudos to Bambini for having such fine personnel.

I had the most delightful maternity photoshoot experience with May at Bambini Photography! Both my husband and I were thoroughly impressed by her professionalism and patience throughout the session. May's invaluable advice on posing really helped us look our best, and her guidance made the entire process feel effortless. We look forward to receive the finishing photos as the photoshoot came to a close. The studio's enclosed area not only ensured our privacy but also created a comfortable atmosphere that allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the moment. May at Bambini Photography have left us with beautiful memories to cherish. Our booking process with Lydia was very easy , she is very responsive to my enquiry through and email and messages . Highly recommended!

Did a family graduation photoshoot + corporate photoshoot. I have to say, it was extremely worth our time and money. May was extremely skillful and hospitable. She went above and beyond just to make sure we’re comfortable and looked the best. She knew what our best angles were at any point of time. She had even brought out the happiness and closeness of my family in pictures. We had our own ideas on what poses and style to have, but she not only enhanced our ideas, but brought magic into our photos. Little Anna was also there to keep us company while we had so much fun during the photoshoot. So excited for the end results of our photos. We will definitely return. Thank you, May!
