Mall playgrounds in China

As a mom of an energetic toddler, I can tell you that you have to be creative all the time. Staying all day at home is a no-no for us. Gladly, almost every mall in China offers an inside playground for kids (that is usually located on the third floor). So, every once in a while we take our two-year-old daughter to the mall playground that is located at Taiyanggong Capital Mall.

What I like about this playground are the price and space. It is huge and offers ball pool, slides for older and younger kids, cars, baby carts for grocery shopping, blocks and all kinds of table toys. My daughter mostly loves the slide for bigger kids and table toys through which she learns letters and numbers. This playground is perfect for parents to let their kids play and interact with other kids. I usually bring a cup of coffee with me and just observe my child. The area is very clean and safe. The staff is always watching kids so that no one can leave without a parent.

After playing inside of the playground, I usually let my daughter use the interactive machines without spending the money on my card because she is too little to actually understand them. She especially enjoys the machine where she can jump as a bunny.

Now let’s talk about the price! One time entrance ticket is 40 RMB plus 5 RMB for the card. But we purchased 10 times visit for 200 RMB.  In order to purchase it, you will have to download a Chinese app on your phone and pay using Alipay or WeChat wallet. If you go to the cashier who sells the card she will help you out as I don’t really know the whole procedure. I think your kid will enjoy the playground and you will finally get a chance just to sip your coffee and relax! :-) Oh, and I advise you to go on the weekdays because on the weekends it gets pretty busy.

"Lilliput" kids' cafe

Eating out at a nice restaurant with your toddler and at the same time enjoying yourself may seem like an impossible thing to accomplish. However, at kids’ café “Lilliput”, believe me, it is very much possible. So what is special about this café? This café is designed for kids and parents.  By word of mouth, “Lilliput” is a café chain from Korea. It has a huge indoor playground with sand pit, ball pool, interactive screen, crawling tunnel, blocks, dolls, cars and all kinds of toys. Inside there are cameras on every corner so that a parent can sip a drink but still watch over his child. Also, it has the bathroom that is specially designed for kids and it even has a napping room for kids. I think that is brilliant! So when you walk into café, you have to take off your shoes and borrow socks (if you don’t have one) and put on slippers. The shoes are stored in the lockers.  Then, you have to pay for entrance at the counter. Usual price is 128 RMB for 2 hours. But we paid 100 RMB

Toddler clothing stores in China

As most of the parents out there I do the clothes shopping for my toddler myself. I do not buy expensive designer made outfits as it is known kids get messy quite easily. Most of the times I have to change my daughter’s outfit twice or even three times a day. So where can you get decent and affordable clothes for your toddler in China? The answer is simple - on taobao.com. Taking into account a number of shops there, the choosing the right shop might be a very frustrating process. Therefore, in this post, I will share the names of shops where I usually purchase items for my daughter. Hair accessories and a dress by H&M, tights by Jelly baby Old Navy .
