“Me and my 3 year old son do all the house
work and yard work together. He carries the vacuum cleaner up and
down the stairs and when he has had enough pushing, mum has a turn!
He sweeps the yard. We go to preschool on his little trike so he can
pedal fast down the hills and mum holds on his hand then uses it to
push him back up the hills. I can then leave his trike at preschool
and get a run in on the way back before the day really starts. It
just saves us taking the car.” (The Peters Family, Terrigal) - PRIZE
WINNER

hoops, dribbling a soccer ball around the clothesline, hitting a
golf ball into a bucket and so on. When they have completed each
event, they get a stamp on their chart. Then they get to design a
circuit for mummy and daddy. The circuit continually changes so they
never get bored.” (The Surya Family, Bateau Bay) - PRIZE WINNER
