The lesser known cousin of the Mint Toy Museum, the
Children Little Museum offers just as interesting an array of toys, nostalgia, and quirky gizmos collected since the 1950s. It pretty easy to recognize the museum sitting conspicuously between the shophouses of Kampong Glam. Just look for the giant robot at the museum entrance.

Giant Robot just bust your cover. |
The whole museum is pretty small, only the size of the whole 2nd floor of the shophouse. But at $2 per entry, the experience you get is a steal! Plus, you actually get to play with and touch all the displays, unlike other museums that hide them behind glass cabinets (looking at you Mint Toy Museum). Toys need to be played with, didn't the owners ever watch Toy Story!

Syrup for sale! Mixed with real dust and dead flies! (the syrup container had an open top) |
Calling all camwhores! Tired of duck facing with your eggs benedict brunch? Looking for new props to pose with? You've found the right place!
The displays range from roadside drink stalls, to old school barbershop chairs, to those old primary school wooden desks with "
i h8 skl" scratched into it's surface. I spent more than 2h just frolicking from one display to the next and reminiscing my primary school days. They even had the whole country eraser set!! Every primary schooler's ultimate goal in life back then.

Even Queensway Mcdonalds doesn''t have this jukebox anymore :( |
Way too many photos and artifacts to upload in one blogpost. Pretty impressive for a tiny 2nd floor shophouse.
So if you're bored, lazy to move too much, and broke, visit the Children Little Museum at Kampong Glam. Perfect for kids, adults, and the young at heart, everyone will love this place :)
Cost: $2
Fun: :))))
Friends: Bring a friend, or your family. Someone needs to help you take photos.
