Playtimes HK Magazine Winter Issue 2018/2019 | Page 9

welcome
to this bumper Winter issue of Playtimes.
M
ost of you will have heard about the exciting
changes taking place at Playtimes and our decision
to make the publication quarterly. As you can see, our seasonal magazine is bigger and better, featuring
even more informative articles on maternity , education , health and lifestyle . And it will
continue to grow.
In this Winter
issue we explore how your diet can help you to conceive, and offer nutritional advice for once you’re
expecting. Karen Sherwood explores the concept of ‘sitting the month’ , and Olivia Maitre introduces the best
ways to exercise while pregnant . We round up the best strollers in Hong Kong, and share all the relevant news
for those who are expecting or have recently given birth.
We take a tour of Han Academy, tally up the best
maths tutoring centres , offer advice on minimising those
homework battles (hooray!) and investigate the weight of school bags . We also get some help understanding
dysgraphia and how it impacts the way children learn.
We love our fashion
step into our fairy
shoots at Playtimes, so we couldn't resist creating one for this special issue. We invite you to
tale , courtesy of Iron Fairies. We would like to thank our photographer, Imi from Zzzoom, who did a
fabulous job. For more fashion, check out our stylish suggestions on how to keep your little ones warm during the
colder months, and don't miss our pick of top toys for Christmas .
Speaking of Christmas we've got the low-down on all the best festive events taking place, and where to see the most
dazzling decorations . In our travel section we offer inspiration on where to head for Christmas – be it this year or
next (check out our website for ideas on the best ski destinations and our review of Lapland , too).
Our next issue of Playtimes will be available in March, but don’t fear, we will still keep you up to date with everything
that's happening around town via our website, www.playtimes.com.hk and through our Facebook
and
Instagram accounts. Our finger will stay firmly on the pulse. Our website will be continuously updated with fresh new
content, so you won't miss us during the printless months. We are going to be VERY active online , and still
produce publications you’ll be desperate to get your hands on. As we head into our 17th year we are incredibly
excited about all the things we have planned for you. We know you’re going to love them!
More immediately, we’re excited about Christmas so, on that note, we would like to wish all our loyal supporters a
Merry Christmas and all the very best for the new year.
