Its the holiday season again. Wondering what to do with the little ones ? These day and age, we tend to give our gadgets to our kids. These tech gadgets would keep them occupied while we can carry out our daily task without them getting into our ways. But seriously, it may not be any advantage for early childhood development. Long exposure of these may only decrease their attention span.
Well, I have a great suggestion for you parents out there !! Why not bring them for a musical play instead. The kids and I had the chance to watch Aladdin - A musical comedy reloaded last weekend. They are back for their 2nd year. Its not only entertaining for the kids but us parents too.

| Aladdin - A musical comedy reloaded |
This musical is based on the legendary stories of Aladdin. Through the centuries, countless versions of the story of Aladdin have been told or staged. Many of its exciting themes of magic, romance, adventure and overcoming poverty have made it one of the most familiar and classic stories from the Arabian Nights collection.
This musical is very interactive, just like their first show last year. The kids can make as much noise as they like, voice out their opinions or even Booooo some actors on stage (well that will be the evil wizard, of course !!! )
