Open Playhouse Football Craft at IPC: Free Football Painting for Kids
Open Playhouse, the kids' activity zone inside IPC Shopping Centre at Mutiara Damansara, is running a free Football Painting Craft session tied to FIFA World Cup 2026 fever. The activity runs now through 2 August 2026, and the mechanic is simple: kids wear their favourite football attire to the Open Playhouse area and redeem a free football-themed craft kit. The redemption is limited to one per child, while stocks last.
How the redemption works
The qualifier is the football attire. A child who turns up in a football jersey, a team kit, or any obvious football-themed outfit can redeem the craft kit at the Open Playhouse counter. There is no spend threshold, no app download, and no registration. The kit itself is a paint-and-create craft, sized for small hands, and the child takes the finished piece home. The setup is designed for the kindergarten to early-primary age range that already uses Open Playhouse for its regular sessions.
IPC is running the football craft alongside a second free redemption in the same window: a DIY Bead Strap activity, also at Open Playhouse, also while stocks last. The two sessions are part of IPC's broader Football Fiesta campaign, which ties the centre's kids' programming to the World Cup 2026 viewing season that runs through July and into early August.
Why IPC's Open Playhouse is the right venue for this
Open Playhouse is a structured kids' play space inside IPC, not a soft-play area. It runs paid craft, sensory and early-learning sessions during school term and school holidays, and it has built a following among parents in Mutiara Damansara, Damansara Perdana, Bandar Utama and TTDI. A free craft redemption is a low-cost way to bring families into the centre during the quieter weekday afternoons, and it pairs well with a meal at the IPC Gourmet Hall on the same floor.
For parents planning a visit, the practical tip is to come early. The craft kits are while-stocks-last, and the redemption counter at Open Playhouse closes when the day's allocation runs out. The free craft also stacks with IPC's Mid-Year Reward Rush, which runs in the same period: a RM80 single-receipt spend elsewhere in the centre gets you into the daily lucky draw while the kids do the craft.
