I loved the diversity of activities - which are rare in Kuwait. The carnival games, organized by the Kidz Nursery, included challenges that kids can actually win at (throwing darts at balloons, balls through the snowman's tummy, hoops, pin the tail on the donkey, etc.) It's not so much the prizes but the fact that they feel like they can win that's important. I'm so glad we are starting to see more children's carnivals and festivals with games and activities that focus on the kids.
The kids had an awesome time yesterday at the Kids Day Out at the Lilly Center in Industrial Shuwaikh. The carnival was raising money for the Syrian refugees. Located in the Lilly Center courtyard, it was small enough for me to keep a watch over the girls and there was literally a dozen different activities for them to try and they ended up going home with goldfish, lots of prizes and grass heads (yes, that is a real thing!).
