Moose Toys Visits Lakeside!
Lakeside College
Science + Toys = SUPERHAPPY!
As part of Science Week, Lakeside students welcomed Bridie from Moose Toys for a hands-on look at the science, creativity, and big ideas behind some of our students favourite toys.
Moose Toys is the Australian-owned toy company behind much-loved brands including Bluey, Magic Mixies, Little Live Pets, Heroes of Goo Jit Zu, MrBeast Lab, GuiGui and Shopkins.
Students discovered there’s a whole lot of science hiding inside the toy box! They explored physics by launching Heroes of Goo Jit Zu Goo Slingers, saw chemistry come to life with a super-foamy chemical reaction with the CrunchLabs Elephant Toothpaste Blast, got hands-on with the sensory science of GuiGui Slime, and explored engineering through the movement and interactions of MicroPets.
Bridie also gave students a peek behind the scenes at how the Moose team designs, builds, tests and improves toys before they make their way onto shelves, as well as how Moose is working to reduce its environmental impact through Mission Zero.
It was a fun-filled reminder that science isn’t just something you find in a classroom - it’s in the things we play with, create and imagine every day!
