The free event, part of Summerdaze and supported by the Queenstown Lakes District Council, saw hundreds of tiny tots, some with their best-loved teddy bears, flock to the Queenstown Events Centre where they got their arts and crafts fix, had their faces painted, played with hula-hoops, met some local volunteer firefighters and enjoyed some snacks, including a Queenstown Lions Club sausage sizzle.
