Edutainment has never looked this good, seamlessly bring learning, playing and creativity together under one roof. 

To make sure that the kids rule the playground, KidsCon is designed by Kids for Kids, which is why the KidsCon Board of Little Experts was established. 

As a board of 14 diverse children (ages 5 to 10), the KidsCon experts shared their insights on various trends and products. Their input was used to create an unforgettable, dynamic and modern experience that'll have parents itching to join in on the fun. 

Children attending the festival will be stimulated as they engage with different interactive areas. 

ALL THE FUN AREAS

The BIC Artist Corner will spark their creative flair; then their imagination will inevitably run wild as they create new worlds while immersed in the Play-Doh Creations space. 

Visitors can also team up and face-off as they show off their blasting skills in the Hasbro Nerf Zone, and experience the Nerf Fornite blaster range, or play it safe by challenging mom to a game of Monopoly or taking a photo with dad at the Nintendo selfie wall and win wonderful prizes.

Visitors are in for several treats like meeting some of their favourite characters like Mario Karts' Mario and Luigi, your favourite My Little Pony and many more. Other activities include building an RC Car with Nintendo Labo and competing at the Transformers Speed Station to see who takes home the prize for transforming a Transformer in the least amount of time, and a chance to take a pic with Transformer Bumblebee.
