Story Telling at the Mall

Hey! Wanna engage your kids in a story telling session...check out this spot in Dubai Mall. I like the way they have done the set up, bean bags to lie down and to get back in your dreamworld.

The spot on the 2nd floor with bean bags to relax!

"Christmas gift suggestions:

To your enemy, forgiveness.

To an opponent, tolerance.

To a friend, your heart.

To a customer, service.

To all, charity.

To every child, a good example.

To yourself, respect.”

Display of Toys at Dubai Mall

Check out these pics I discovered while walking around the Dubai Mall near Hamleys. I like the way all the blocks have been assembled to make these amusing toys. Upon Googling I found this company call Playmobil which has an excellent collection of toys. I am not sure if all the toys on display are of the same company though.

Water Balls at Dubai Festival City

Dubai Festival City has a leisure spot where visitors can float in the water by getting themselves into a ball. You would need to zip into the Water Ball filled with Oxygen to have an entertaing time. The spot can be found at the Canal Walk area of the mall.
