McDonald’s Singapore is set to offer a fun-filled activity this September school holidays, with large Baby Shark-themed bouncy castles at Marina Square and One Punggol. The bouncy castles will be available from 3 September to 12 October. Young readers can also look forward to three new Baby Shark books, available with every Happy Meal purchase until 13 November.
## Background
This initiative by McDonald’s aims to provide an engaging and educational experience for children during the school holidays. The Baby Shark-themed bouncy castles and books are designed to combine fun with learning, focusing on environmental themes. This campaign is part of McDonald’s ongoing efforts to create memorable experiences for families while promoting important messages.
## Baby Shark bouncy castle
The blue-and-white bouncy castles, adorned with iconic McDonald’s images and beloved Baby Shark characters, are not to be missed. The massive castles are divided into multiple inflatable play zones, guaranteeing a sweet day out for kids. The Marina Square bouncy castle spans 17 metres by 13.2 metres. There will be a larger bouncy castle at One Punggol spanning 24 metres by 13.2 metres. Adrenaline junkies can expect a thrilling experience with a massive three-lane slide and other obstacle courses. There are also inflatable spots within the castle for perfect photo opportunities.
## Baby Shark books (with purchase of Happy Meal)
As part of the campaign, McDonald’s is releasing three environmental-themed Baby Shark books centred around topics such as energy saving. Customers who purchase a Happy Meal set are entitled to one book, while stocks last. A new title is launched every Thursday.
– Book 1 – Fight the Rubbish Monster, available from 8 August, 11am
– Book 2 – Help the Forest, available from 5 September, 11am
– Book 3 – Energy Saving, available from 10 October, 11am
