One bright morning just outside Bendigo, three very odd but quite cute ‘beings’ collided.
MEET YOUR CREATIVE GUIDES
ARTIE
TEK TEK
PLAYDON
Meet Artie
The first was Artie. Artie loved connecting people and telling new stories.
No one ever knew what Artie would do next – every idea was a surprise!
Meet Tek Tek
The second was Tek Tek. Tek Tek loved making new tools, and exploring new ways of doing things and solving problems.
Persistent and practical, Tek Tek was always eager to explore what was possible
Meet Playdon
The third was Playdon. Playdon’s favourite question was always, “What else? – What else can I build? What else can I make? What else will happen if I mix this stuff together?”
Playdon was curious and loved trying new things.
Here is the story: One bright morning, the three were busy going about their own business, playing and tinkering when – BUMP! They all fell into each other in a spectacular tangle.
It felt like meeting long-lost friends – the bestest of besties! Together, they laughed, played, invented, and imagined. Ideas burst like fireworks until, suddenly, a whole new world opened around them—sparkling, colourful, and full of endless possibilities. They called this The Creativerse!
As the sun set, the three new best friends smiled, “I never ever want to leave” they said …“I know! Let’s meet here again,” they promised, shoutily.
And BOOM – The Creativerse was born.
