Dig, Dump, Repeat: Little Builders at District Docklands

Chaos, but make it wholesome. Little Builders has rolled into District Docklands, handing kids the keys to their very own sandy construction zone — and yes, it's as fun (and messy) as it sounds! 

This indoor pop-up sandbox packs over 25 tonnes of clean, kid-safe sand and more than 100 interactive toys, turning dig time into a full-scale creative experience.

Little Builders at District Docklands

Mini builders can hop on ride-on diggers, scoop, stack, and engineer their next masterpiece across themed play zones designed to fuel pure imagination. One minute it's a construction site, the next it's a sandy city, a racetrack, or whatever wild idea your kid dreams up. It's hands-on, screen-free, and secretly sneaks in learning through play — problem-solving, creativity, teamwork — the whole brain-boosting package disguised as fun.

Got a birthday coming up? Little Builders is also hosting construction-themed parties, complete with dig, build, and celebrate energy that kids absolutely love.

Hot tip: this is a limited-time pop-up, so don't sleep on it. Grab the crew, head to Docklands, and let the tiny tradies go full build mode.
