Building Creativity for Toddlers - Grownups

Expired

Give a three-year-old a box of LEGO® DUPLO® bricks and he will start to build houses and towers right away. It's almost like an instinct. In fact, stacking a tower and tipping it over is one of the favorite activities for children all over the world.
Children build and make things with their hands, because it's a natural part of their development. When you're a child, creative play is a way of building your skills and growing your mind. The more you stimulate a child's imagination, the better they will develop their creative skills. And the better they will do later on in life.
Classifying, ordering, comparing and making patterns is an important part of understanding the world we live in - and this is exactly what children do when they play with LEGO DUPLO.
Lego Duplo Toddler Starter Set
Win 1 of 3 LEGO® DUPLO® Toddler Starter Building Sets
Give the gift of creativity this Christmas. Teach toddlers to build, play and create with the all-new LEGO® DUPLO® Toddler Starter Building Set. Build big animal fun with the extra large LEGO DUPLO bricks and decals to create friendly animal faces.
This 37-piece set includes patterned and eye-decorated bricks that are fully compatible with standard DUPLO bricks and elements. The box lid also doubles as a building plate.

The Human Scale
Life in the mega city.50% of the world's population lives in urban areas. By 2050 this will increase to 80%. Life in a mega city is both enchanting and problematic. Today we face peak oil, climate change, loneliness and severe health issues due to our way of life. But why?
The Danish architect and professor Jan Gehl has studied human behavior in cities through 40 years. He has documented how modern cities repel human interaction, and argues that we can build cities in a way, which takes human needs for inclusion and intimacy into account.
THE HUMAN SCALE meets thinkers, architects and urban planners across the globe. It questions our assumptions about modernity, exploring what happens when we put people into the center of our planning.

The new breed of escapologist and professional danger-man.Jonathan Goodwin is a man who combines the skill of Houdini and Superman. Emulating his childhood heroes, the great American sideshow acts and comic-book characters, Goodwin takes his unique brand of entertainment on location around the UK and the US.
Share the tension and excitement as he attempts spectacular feats of out-of-this-world bravery, agility and physical strength. These include racing to unlock himself from a rocket-launched car before it drags him off a 200-foot cliff and fighting to the surface after being buried underground - after first being bitten by a venomous snake. He also freeclimbs up a towering office block and attempts an incredible headline-making stunt hanging by a burning rope from the iconic London Eye!
But this jaw-dropping series doesn't just show a wide-variety of stunts - it goes behind the scenes to share the emotions of his family and friends as they watch him tackle often terrifying feats. It also charts the extraordinary preparation and training Goodwin goes through before his performances, many of which have never been attempted before.

Invisible Woman posterNelly, a happily-married mother and schoolteacher, is haunted by her past. Her memories, provoked by remorse and guilt, take us back in time to follow the story of her relationship with Charles Dickens with whom she discovered an exciting but fragile complicity. Dickens – famous, controlling and emotionally isolated within his success – falls for Nelly, who comes from a family of actors. The theatre is a vital arena for Dickens – a brilliant amateur actor – a man more emotionally coherent on the page or on stage, than in life. As Nelly becomes the focus of Dickens’ passion and his muse, for both of them secrecy is the price, and for Nelly a life of “invisibility”.

THE TURNING
The TurningDiscover an extraordinary filmmaking collaboration in TIM WINTON'S THE TURNING. Eighteen talented Australian directors from diverse artistic disciplines each create a chapter of the hauntingly beautiful novel by multi award-winning author Tim Winton. The linking and overlapping stories explore the extraordinary turning points in ordinary people’s lives in a stunning portrait of a small coastal community. As characters face second thoughts and regret, relationships irretrievably alter, resolves are made or broken, and lives change direction forever.
With contributions from such unique voices as Robert Connolly (BALIBO), Warwick Thornton (SAMSON & DELILAH), Tony Ayres (HOME SONG STORIES), Justin Kurzel (SNOWTOWN) and Mia Wasikowska, among many more, and starring Cate Blanchett, Rose Byrne, Hugo Weaving, Miranda Otto and so many other talented individuals, this watershed film reinterprets and re-imagines Winton's work for the screen.
JONATHAN CREEK EASTER SPECIAL: THE CLUE OF THE SAVANT’S THUMB
Jonathan CreekWhen a dead body impossibly vanishes from a locked study it is only the first in a chain of dark mysteries confronting Jonathan Creek and self-styled paranormal investigator Joey Ross.
A grisly murder, the macabre history of a Catholic girls’ school, a sinister local society and a series of increasingly puzzling, interlocking clues form the backdrop to another weird and wonderful case for Creek and Joey – this time however, they find themselves merely junior players in an inquiry spearheaded by the flamboyant and indomitable detective inspector Gideon Pryke.
An inquiry whose resolution will prove infinitely deeper and darker than any of them could have imagined ...
Alan Davies (Q.I.) and Sheridan Smith are back to solve another seemingly impossible mystery from the prolific pen of David Renwick (ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE). Joining the sleuths are a superb line of guest stars including Joanna Lumley (ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS), Rik Mayall (BOTTOM) and Nigel Planer (THE YOUNG ONES).
SISTER
SisterL?a Seydoux (BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOUR, FAREWELL MY QUEEN) delivers on her promise as France’s next breakthrough star with her astonishing performance in SISTER, Ursula Meier’s internationally-heralded and extraordinarily moving new drama about two siblings searching for a place in the world.
12-year-old Simon (Kacey Mottet Klein) lives with his restless older sister Louise (Seydoux) at the base of the Swiss Alps. Every day he takes the cable car to the ski resorts above to pilfer from rich tourists, while Louise drifts through a series of part-time jobs and promiscuity, sometimes disappearing for days on end. In her absence, Simon forges a strong bond with a wealthy tourist (Gillian Anderson), and his fragile relationship with his sister fractures into dangerous new territory…
PARIS REVEALED
ParisParis Revealed embarks us on a journey to the heart of the most emblematic monuments of the City of Lights. From the gargoyles-topped heights of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame to the alcoves of the Sacr?-C?ur Basilica in Montmartre, and to the gigantic iron arches of the Eiffel Tower: learn all the secrets and history behind these three mythical places from those who look after these romantic structures.
THE EIFFEL TOWER: The history and unknown challenges faced by Paris' most famous landmark are explored - how the height, the limited space within the tower and the presence of visitors 365 days a year, impose constraints on all those who work there.
THE HEART OF NOTRE DAME: Unfazed by the incessant flow of tourists, the "cathedral family" at Notre Dame carry on with their daily duties 365 days a year, including over 1000 annual celebrations and concerts.
MONTMARTRE: The Montmartre hillock has always cultivated its singularity. Renoir, Picasso, Satie, Bruand... the list who have created there never ends. But do the new inhabitants fit with the old bohemian?

Brokenwood
BrokenwoodThe Brokenwood Mysteries comprises four two-hour murder mystery stories set in a seemingly quiet country town where the town's newest resident, Detective Inspector Mike Shepherd, finds that murder lurks in even the most homely location.
The Brokenwood Mysteries don’t involve blood and gore. The deaths are generally off-screen or understated. Any forensic style police-work is usually off-screen or happening in the background but it’s Mike’s unorthodox methods that are upfront. Every death has an impact on him – if not emotionally – then thematically. As Mike pursues his dogged investigations, it’s like peeling the layers off an onion: clues are revealed, character’s aspects are opened up and Brokenwood’s secrets uncovered.

We’re Celebrating Winter with the Chance to Win $1000 Off Your Favourite La-Z-Boy!
When it comes to lifestyle furniture, nothing says comfort quite like La-Z-Boy. From the living room to the family room, the iconic La-Z-Boy brand has built itself a reputation for absolute comfort and style. Everything from soft leather sofas, stylish sectionals and of course, La-Z-Boy’s hallmark recliners. La-Z-Boy even have a comprehensive timber range now!
La-Z-Boy and you
More than just furniture, La-Z-Boy creates ergonomically sound staples designed to help you live life comfortably. Lift chairs are a clever solution if you find it difficult to lift in and out of your seat, while powered recliners give you customised movement for ultimate personalised comfort.
Plus, there’s no arguing with the fact that La-Z-Boys are just mind-bogglingly comfortable. Think contour cut foam, full body support and wear tested fabrics. Plush doesn’t even come close to describing the La-Z-Boy experience…
