Here are five fab things to do in Dubai and Abu Dhabi with the kids this weekend.
Have a good one!
Bake a honey bread house with Jones the Grocer
Taking place on two weekends over the Easter holidays (yes, they are fast approaching), Jones the Grocer is hosting virtual workshops teaching kids to build their own honey bread house. A chef from the kiddie-friendly eatery, will oversee the creative skills online on Saturday March 27 between 1pm and 2pm and again on Saturday April 3 from 2pm to 3pm. Best of all, the class is free, although you will need to buy a Dhs119 honey bread house kit, which you can pick-up from your nearest Jones the Grocer. Alternatively, provided you buy it 24 hours in advance, you can order the kit directly from the Jones the Grocer website.
Dhs119. Sat Mar 27 1pm-2pm, Sat Apr 3 2pm-3pm. To book, click here.

Cook-up these Easter recipes
Kids got a passion for being in the kitchen? Set them to work on these super cute and super tasty Easter treats that they can make themselves… with a little help from mum or dad.
Get the kids involved in Parkour
Parkour, or freerunning, emerged in urban environments in the 1980s, inspired by military obstacle-course training. Participants dashed from one obstacle to another—navigating over, under, and through them – with a liberal number of jumps, flips, leaps, and rolls mixed in for good measure. These days, parkour has gone mainstream. There are indoor parkour gyms that offer padded mats to practice moves in a safer environment, making it a great sport for kids to get into.
Open daily 9.30am-9.30pm. Parkour Dubai, Al Quoz, Dubai, www.parkour.ae (800 7275687).
Meet cool cartoon characters at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi
From Friday March 26 until April 10, coinciding nicely with the school holidays, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi is all set to host a brand-new experience for the kiddos. The Yas Island theme park’s ‘Friends for all Ages’ is giving little cartoon enthusiasts the opportunity to get up close and personal with their favourite characters. Perfect pairs include Fred and Barney, Scooby and Shaggy as well as Tom and Jerry, while a line-up of live shows will feature George and Astro Jetson making their debut at the theme park.
