For something off the beaten track, consider taking your little ones to Singapore's oldest dragon kiln for some crafty pottery fun. Pottery workshops are held a couple of times a month during weekends.

Trying our hands at pottery sure isn't an everyday thing for majority of us, so why not take the opportunity to let your kids have some fun while picking up something new and letting their creativity reign? If you like, you can also shop for pottery wares there.
