All of the toys in this book represent Australian animals, and all of them move in some fashion. As their movements are realistic and suggestive of each animal, they all qualify as puppets. Claire Schofield's designs use mechanisms ranging from her own inventions and adaptations, to mechanisms that have survived hundreds (if not thousands) of years. She provides step-by-step instructions, along with detailed drawings and photographs. The 20 projects are arranged from a “beginner” level through to “really tricky” projects that will challenge any toy enthusiast.

From simply walking around to using space shuttles, human beings have a vast array of transport methods. In colonial Australia, the importance of the horse to all types of human activities is often not recognised. Camels and oxen also played a role in the history of business, industry and just getting from one place to another. The availability of transport determined how settlement spread in early Australia. The enormous distances between the settlements, the expense of road-building and the long reliance on shipping around the coast to get from town to town, were all aspects of life in colonial Australia that were completely different from those the first settlers were used to back in Britain. The style of living we take for granted in Australia today was very different in the past. Many everyday tasks involved using tools and implements that are unrecognisable in our modern world. The Australian Aboriginal history of daily life, as well as that of the first colonists, all provide intriguing stories of how we all used to live and how we gradually moved on to depending on gadgets, fast food and other modern ways of life that our ancestors from the past would find amazing.

They collect the colour that the bags will be bright yellows and pinks, from special plants and berries. It is a hard day s work for Rose, but the results are worth it.

This book is a state-of-the-art look at where toys have come from and where they are likely to go in the years ahead. The focus is on the interplay between traditional toys and play, and toys and play that are mediated by or combined with digital technology. As well as covering the technical aspects of computer mediated play activities, the authors consider how technologically enhanced toys are currently used in traditional play and how they are woven into childrens' lives. The authors contrast their findings about technologically enhanced toys with knowledge of traditional toys and play. They link their studies of toys to goals in education and to entertainment and information transfer. This book will appeal to students, researchers, teachers, child care workers and more broadly the entertainment industry. It is appropriate for courses that deal with the specialized subject of toys and games, media studies, education and teacher training, and child development.
