As the summer vacation is progressing; like most parents, I sure am running out of ideas on how to keep my little hurricane busy. 


So, I decided to list down 10 things to do together while having Summer Fun: 


1. Happy Planet - Visit this amazing indoor air conditioned play area and chill out while your kid has a great time. More details here. 


2. Haiko Mall: Haiko is celebrating a summer by having a variety of workshops on weekends.


3. Shiamak Davar's Dance Classes - If your child likes to shake a leg enroll him / her to Shiamak's dance classes, held at Gopal Sharma School - Powai Vihar, Powai Mumbai – 400 076 


4. Summer Camps - There are a number of summer camps being held at every nook and corner. The one I liked is held by Just Kiddin' School as I found it unique. Another one that I found really nice, entertaining and educative is held at home by Rekha - more details at: http://www.kiddieclasses.com/


5.  R - City Mall - If you are in need of some retail therapy then head to the R-City Mall where along with satiating your shopping needs, you can try your hand (rather your leg) at ice skating and for the little ones there is a lovely bouncing castle as well as ice skating. 


6. Hakone - This is an all time favourite but the only problem is that it is outdoors. So, plan an evening out at Hakone and let your children free. Hakone always has a lot to offer. In fact if you are new to Powai and have kids then this place is a must see. 


7. Crossword - Spend some leisurely time amongst books at Crossword while you enjoy a cup of coffee and your child explores the world of books. 


8. Swimming -  If you stay in a a society the use the club to splash around this summer or else enroll your child for swimming classes. 


9. Fun @ Home - Home is really where the heart is so have fun at home and sharpen your competitive skills in some indoor games with your child. Whether you win or lose celebrate with some cool milkshakes prepared together. 


Or Try some no mess painting with Crayola Wonder Paints.



10. Help!! Can't seem to think of anything else - I am new to Powai so please feel free to share more kid friendly places for summer in Powai. Just add your ideas in the comments and hopefully we'll have a nice list to refer to whenever we hear "I am bored. What do I do"?? in future. :)


Happy Summer Fun!! :)
