UPPER Yarra Toy Library’s big toys were a big hit with the littlies who went along to the Teddy Bears’ Picnic at Yarra Junction as part of Children’s Week 2014.
The playground at Yarra Junction was packed with kids and their parents who came with picnic rugs and all sorts of teddies to enjoy a picnic in the park and get information on the services that are available through agencies and community groups such as the toy library.
With plenty of space to display toys such as the crawling tunnel, mini trampoline, basketball ring, and tee-pee on the tennis court, the library was able to show that toy libraries are about outdoor fun as well as the smaller fun stuff.
The Yarra Junction event was one of more than 15 events held throughout Yarra Ranges Shire including films, lego building, music and movement, circus activities and Bookaburra story time sessions.
