Ahmad (centre) officiates KidZania Kuala Lumpur’s 8th Anniversary celebration
in “A City of Infinite Possibilities”.
Four
main activities and three workshops were featured around various establishments
within the city, exclusively for visitors today. The main activities include a Tealive Infinity Cups Challenge and Nips Straw Challenge by Kodomo Lion to
improve the children’s movement and accuracy. Both activities are a form of
sensory play to develop and improve their gross and fine motor skills.
Meanwhile, kids had the opportunity to join the Colouring Contest activity run by the Malaysian Palm Oil Council
(MPOC), and participate in the Infinity
Bracelet Race where kids won prizes by making bracelets in an infinity
shape.
The
infinity shape also featured in the three workshops. The Infinity Tuna Wrap workshop by Mission Foods saw the the kids
making infinity-shaped wraps while Faber-Castell’s Infinity Colouring Party workshop enabled kids to use their
creativity in colouring their own version of the infinity symbol. Last but not
least, the DIY Infinity Mask
workshop resulted in creative infinity-shaped masks.
Said Shahrul Nizar Ahmad, Mayor of
KidZania Kuala Lumpur, “It’s been eight year since we were established. Since
then we’ve seen increased visitors year on year, making us a much sought-after
family destination in the country. We have also been certified as a
co-curricular partner with the Ministry of Education and worked with numerous industry
partners and collaborators over the years, for only one goal – to ultimately
equip children with an understanding of the real world while empowering them
with a variety of development skills, from creativity, financial literacy,
critical thinking and the ability to dream and dream big!
“Most children have dreams of what
they want to be when they grow up. It is so important to promote that
positivity in encouraging kids to chase after the path they dream of. We always
desire to motivate the children to dream big! At KidZania, we advocate the ‘Learn
Life Today’ approach by offering real-life job experiences in different
industries to develop important life skills and values. We are committed to
help the kids broaden their horizons, recognising and identifying the path or
things they are good at. We hope to turn every child’s dream into reality at KidZania,”
concluded Shahrul.
Moving forward, KidZania Kuala
Lumpur aims to regularly roll out new activities and continuously collaborate
with more partners in creating additional career opportunities for the children
to experience first-hand.
