PIP’s PLAYbox

A dedicated space for children and families to discover, imagine and play!

This children’s arts space includes a cosy loft, a roomy arts and craft area, a reading corner filled with books by Singapore writers and illustrators, as well as an outdoor play area. In conjunction with Esplanade’s festivals and series, we host a range of activities in this space, from storytelling sessions to self-guided craft activities.

The mural on the wall is created by illustrator Shelly Liew. Look out for PIP, our children's mascot! See how many PIPs you can find in the mural.

There are also specially curated craft kits packed with fun play and hands-on learning for your little ones which you can bring home. Materials and instructions are included in each kit.
