The Playtime Council: Snip snip
Toddles is fond of her scissors. Unfortunately, Baby Duck was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

-
- The beak
-
- The victim

- Forever silenced…

- Chairman Pooh gets things started.
-
- Little Fatima is next, with a valiant effort – despite her broken legs.
-
- Big Bear wanted a shot too, proving that no Council member was too large for the plastic wonder.

The Playtime Council: It’s a little crowded

The Playtime Council: Happily Ever After…
Not long after Discovery Bear and Ms Froggie’s union, it was the turn of Discovery Bear’s best friend – Chariman Pooh. Having been divorced for some time, Pooh was a lonely bear; yet he was optimistic, and always kept a smile on his face.
Stephanie, who was a late arrival to Playtime HQ, was also single – after having lost her husband in a freak accident a few years earlier.
A mutual acquaintance introduced them, and soon – after realising they were perfect for each other – they committed to the ultimate union: to be bear-husband and bear-wife, for the remainder of this life.
One of the main factors in their compatibility was the fact that both had kids from their previous marriages.
And so, they took it step by step, day by day; a fresh start over – a different hand to play. They knew that the deeper they’d fall, the stronger they’d stay – and they hoped to make it better the second time around.
