Have you ever wondered where you could still find games of yesteryear? Here's where you can still find your childhood toys at.
‘Gasing’, ‘Five Stones’ and ‘Chapteh’ may sound unfamiliar to the average 8 year old child today but for the 90’s kids, these terms bring up sentimental memories. Long before smartphones and handheld gadgets, children in Singapore grew up playing with toys made of paper, feathers and even sticks! Remember the days spent trying to balance on one foot while kicking your chapteh? Here is a list of places where you can still find your childhood toys at.
For over 30 years Mareara Trading has been delighting customers with its classic games in Bukit Merah. A haven for vintage game lovers, the shop front’s kaleidoscope of colours induce fond recollection of the good old days. A veteran of the trade, the owner’s crusade to preserve traditional toys in Singapore is now online. Pictures of Mr Seow’s handicrafts are proudly displayed on Kampong Wonderland, a Facebook page created by his family friend. Gasing, the quintessential childhood toy, and other traditional game sets can be found here.
