Kids Go Wild on Summer Vacation!!

“Kids, sniff this — is the poop from the alpaca smelly or fragrant?” As the kids leaned in curiously to smell the piles of poop on the table, none of them covered their noses and ran away. That’s because this refined feces actually has a faint grassy scent. Staff at the Kleim Manor explained that in Thailand, people have long made paper from elephant dung.

The full name of the green energy paper DIY is “Kleim Paper Handmade Paper DIY.” The handmade paper can further be turned into Kleim Paper candy-shaped night lights, suitable for children in the middle class of kindergarten and above, and parental accompaniment is recommended. The activity lasts about an hour, and making Kleim Paper isn’t too difficult. Kids first need to evenly spread the refined feces on a water-added paper sieve. Once the initial outline of the paper appears, they can then use watercolor pens to add beautiful colors to their paper. Finally, the instructor will help place the paper on a baking tray to dry. This completes the first half of the process.

After 20 minutes, the dried paper will have a rough texture. At this point, place a mold underneath, and parents and kids can tap together to create “folds” on the paper, which are then folded into candy-wrapper-like shapes to complete the craft.

At Kleim Manor, you can experience more than just DIY activities — animal interaction is also a major highlight. As soon as you walk in through the gate, the first creature you’ll meet is the popular alpaca (also known as a llama). Alpacas are gentle in nature, and kids can enter the enclosure to interact with them. Looking at the alpacas, which are taller than themselves, many kids are a bit scared at first.

A laser tag battle is a game many parents and kids want to try but often hesitate to do so. They worry about getting shot and also fear promoting a violent atmosphere. But since the invention of laser tag guns, players receive virtual bullets from others’ attacks via invisible laser signals, and sensors vibrate like a mobile phone to let you know you’ve been hit — there’s only mental frustration, no physical pain. This has led some parents, despite the risk of being called bad influences, to engage in harmless laser tag battles with their kids.

Located in Linkou, the Asia-Pacific Eco Park boasts a spacious venue, offering activities such as barbecue, eco tours, and beetle observation. Among them, the harmless yet thrilling and fun laser tag battle is a favorite among both big and small kids. Park director Chang Yaozhong said that laser tag is a safe combat activity combining technology, sports, and environmental safety. Whether shooting or being hit, the sensor vest emits flashes, sounds, and vibrations, giving participants an immersive battle experience.

Laser tag arenas come in various sizes. The basic arena, about 20 square meters, has simple wooden boards as cover for hiding.
