Eco-Cubby: footprint on the world

Step Up! Step Up! Eco-Cubby at the Royal Melbourne Show!

Phew! After a very busy but equally wonderful 10-day stint at the Royal Melbourne Show, we've finally found a spare moment to share with you all what a great time we had.

Assisted by a dedicated volunteer team and with some very skilled Eco-Cubby designs being built (including the Eco-Cubby-Ark and Eco-Cubby-Circus), I think it's a safe bet to say that this year may have been our best year at the Show yet!

Have a look below to see what we go up to...

Cubbies in progress...

Team effort!

Can you spot the retractable roof?

A BIG thank you to our fabulous volunteer team, and everyone who attend the Eco-Cubby workshops at the Show! It was a huge success and we can't wait to see you all there again next year for some more Eco-Cubby fun!

Show 'n' Tell

We've had a fast and furious time at the Royal Melbourne Show over the past 10 days!

We made new friends, created LOTS of cubbies and even got a chance to have a look around...

Here's what we did:

Our set-up BEFORE we got messy!

and AFTER...!

models we made...

it was a family affair!

We made friends with Dirtgirl - we think she's really cool! We reckon she could build an Eco-Cubby in Dirtgirlworld!

  We made friends with Mr Rooster too (he's quite handsome don't you think?)

we even got to ride the Sky Wheel...It was so much fun!

(as you can see) Leona and Emily from arts2GO worked really hard at the show and were total champions - thanks ladies!

SHOW TIME!!

Here are some pics from our fantastic time at the Royal Melbourne Show. An Eco-Cubby was built over the course of the Show and around 300 kids took part in designing, constructing and decorating!

As you can see the cubby developed into quite a colourful creation!
