I’m so happy I managed to attend !

​Australian Toy Hobby & Licensing Fair
2021 had a unique face to face opportunity on Tuesday 2nd March and virtual 1-5 March and was organised by Australian Toy Association
. Our media was invited to cover the exhibition this year. https://austoy.com.au/toy-fair/the-fair
This is the biggest and most important industry event in Australia, attracting the largest names in toys and thousands of attendees from around the world. At this annual event, media, retailers and buyers are given their first look at the new toy, hobby and licensing products from suppliers. The Internationally acclaimed event showcased new and exciting Toys each year.

THE AUSTRALIAN TOY HOBBY AND LICENSING FAIR 2021
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m more a kid at heart than a grown-up, so given the chance to attend the Australian Toy Association (ATA) Awards, I had to accept. Usually this event is held at the Melbourne Convention Centre, but due to COVID restrictions, 2021 has seen the awards moved to a small office space. This didn’t bother the kids invited to playtest the toys, as they quickly gravitated towards their favourite toys.
Last year, the ATA introduced a Judges’ Choice Aware, which is a predictive category based on how well retailers expect the toy to do on shelves that year. Even better, this year another category has been introduced – the Kids’ Choice Award, to that kids can have their own say. “Bluey and LEGO are firm favourites,” says Alice Sanderson, Executive Manager of the Association. But new toys like Funrise Australia’s ‘Kid in a Bubble’ are also seeing their share of fame, with ‘Kid in a Bubble’ winning the Kids’ Choice Toy of the Year because of the advent of “outdoor play”. Barbie continues to win multiple categories as well, due to its “innovative design”.
I’m happy to report that many Australian-designed and -manufactured products have also won multiple categories, such as Happy Planet Toys, Moose, and Gemex. Each of these companies has toys that are predicted to do very well in the upcoming year, many of them new and innovative. One such example is Happy Planet Toys’ bathtime playsets, which are particularly inventive for their use of recycled plastics to create aquatic-themed toys for younger children. Kids like the cute, chunky design and it’s a great way to help the planet.
SO what do judges look for when judging toys? Says Alice, “Judges are buyers and retailers, so it’s based on their experience [selling toys]”. Replayability, as well as how well the toy is expected to sell based on similar designs, are top concerns. Out of hundreds of products, 18 are chosen for each category, such as hobby toys, collectibles, and early learning.
I very much enjoyed this experience, seeing all of these toys on show and finding my own favourites amongst them - I’m partial to LEGO myself, which had won collectible and construction Toy of the Year for the upcoming year. I hope to attend next year’s awards, when, fingers crossed, it can be moved back to a bigger space and I can experience them in their full glory.

The Elfkins: Baking A Difference (G)
currently in cinemas 14 January
The famous, hard-working Elfkins of Cologne finally return! Since they were ousted by a malevolent tailor's wife more than 200 years ago, they have been hiding underground. But lively Elfie can’t stand this restricted life any longer and climbs to the surface to find her true calling. Together with two companions, she ends up in the bakery of grumpy pastry chef Theo who is feuding with his profit-hungry brother. While the Elfkins first cause a lot of chaos, Elfie is determined to help Theo. And who would be better suited to “bake” him happy than the Elfkins?

“We are so excited to be presenting some of the first live theatrical productions for families following the challenges we all faced in 2020” said Director Robert Coates. “It’s going to be such a delight for audiences, and our talented young cast members alike, to come together in person again and share the magic of theatre. Both of these shows are a perfect fit for the amazing ambience of the Fairfield Amphitheatre, we can’t wait to welcome audiences there in the open air this January.” Presented by the Young Australian Broadway Chorus (YABC), HONK! Jr is a heart-warming celebration of being different, with music by George Stiles and the book and lyrics by Anthony Drewe (Mary Poppins). Based on the story The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen, the full musical HONK! won the Olivier Award for Best Musical in 2000. Audiences of all ages will delight in this musical full of sparkling wit, unique charm and laughter, which has been adapted for 60 young performers.
Directed by Robert Coates and choreographed by Jacqui Green, both credited with Cats, Wicked and Wizard of Oz to name a few, HONK! Jr is set to be a magnificent musical to enjoy outdoors with the family, across ten performances to choose from. Also coming to the Fairfield Amphitheatre is Peter Pan in Neverland. Presented by the Victorian Youth Theatre (VYT) and adapted by Robert Coates, follow the journey of Wendy and Michael as they land in the fantastical world of Neverland. Along with fairy friend Tinkerbell and Peter’s merry band of Lost Boys, the trio embarks on adventures to outsmart the evil Captain Hook. An enchanting tale of never letting go of the wonderment of childhood. Suitable for ages 4+, Peter Pan in Neverland is directed by actor, playwright and producer Roby Favretto. Choose from eight magical performances to revel in.
The YABC has recently presented sell-out seasons of Broadway hits CATS (2020), Les Misérables (2019), Wicked (2018), as well as many previous productions. VYT has presented the successful Melbourne and regional tour of Alice In Wonderland.
