Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

The Australasian Creative Design Awards

The final count for the "People's Choice Award" took place this morning. The top three positions, actually had five candidates. After counting the votes manually to check there were no errors in counting, the Award ended up as a tie between Linda Benson of Benson Bears for her beautiful rendition of a Panda - Meixin and Laraine White of Rainbears for her superb clown bear Pepper.

The Runners Up and winners of the "High Achievement in Design and Workmanship Awards" were Kim Russell of Russell Bears for her wonderfully creative skunk Li'l Stinker and Linda Benson once again for Meixin.



"The Most Innovative Design and Workmanship Excellence Award" was presented to a very pleased and excited Katrina Ndrejica of Bumble Bears for her fantastic creation, Modoogo.


This was a very well deserved award for Katrina, as the workmanship of this bear was as near to perfection as is humanly possible.
