After the success of our stall at Spring Fling we would like to start planning our next event…Our First Teddy Bears Picnic! But as this is our first one we would like your input.

The idea is to bring the family and the kids bring their favourite Teddy Bear to have a picnic with us and other Toy Library members. The plan is use part of JJ Holland Park in Kensington on either Wednesday 13th January or Saturday 16th January 2016. Start time from about 10:30am to 1:30pm. There will be a small charge per family not per child. It is school holidays so we would like to encourage everyone to come along. We will provide some kind of marquee for shade and some toys for the little ones. (Party packs and water tables.) Big kids can bring their footballs.

Spring Fling is this Sunday! How time flies! We are super busy getting ready to make our stall fun and exciting for you and your kids. We have been allocated a great space where we are going to set up the Party Packs that are available to hire. This is a great opportunity for you to see what we have and to keep us in mind when you are planning your little one’s next party. Kids are able to play on these for free throughout the day. We will also have a few little games to play for a small fee and hopefully you can win a prize.

We will also have our Annual Christmas Raffle tickets on sale. We are very excited as we have been given a great range of prizes by our very generous local community and businesses. For only $2 a ticket you could win a £250 voucher off a Family Photoshoot with Sanna Griffin Photography, 6 sessions with Little Kickers, Caulfield Race Day tickets, Venus Day Spa vouchers, Puffing Billy family pass, Lunch for two at The Langham, Enchanted Adventure Garden family pass, Cinema Nova tickets, Phillip Island Nature Park passes, Museum Victoria tickets, Luna Park unlimited family ride pass, Yo-Chi Frozen Yoghurt vouchers, Crafternoon Cafe voucher, Planet Kids Play Centre passes, BIG4 Holiday Park Voucher, Treat of France Cafe vocuher and a family pass from Eureka Skydeck. A fantastic bunch of prizes. We are really proud to publish the names and logos of all these great organisations and businesses on our page.

Thank you to all the members who are volunteering at our stall to keep it running smoothly. We really hope you can drop by, chat to us and let the kids play for a bit. Look forward to seeing you all there.

The Market will be on Errol Street, Victoria Street and surrounding laneways, North Melbourne
