A winter sky of delicate blue, falling snowflakes, and an open expanse of pristine snow for you and your pets to explore. What will you add? This is the perfect place to make snowmen or have an epic snowball battle.

I wonder who first thought about tying two planks to the bottom of the feet to go wooshing down a snowy hill. Was it for fun or necessity?

Today, skiing is a popular sport. Anyone can enjoy this winter pastime. There are gentle slopes and steep slopes. All you need is a pair of skis, dress warmly and take that daring first slide.

Snowboarding is a newer sport. Instead of two separate skis, a single large board is used. It might feel a lot like surfing, and balance would be important. These brightly painted snowboards are waiting for you if you want to try something different on a winter day.

Deep in the PnF Arctic Tundra, amid frozen ground where no trees grow, Pets have learned to adapt to their environment, carving grandiose homes, castles and furniture from blocks of ice. Spearmint ice comes from areas of the PnF Arctic Tundra where the ground has small traces of iron ore. Pet Families that appreciate the more subtle things in life will construct their strongholds from spearmint ice!

Sometimes you want something simple to drink. You may not want sweet, sour, zingy or even fizzy. Grab a tumbler, add some ice cubes, and fill the cup to the brim; with refreshing cool water. Add a straw or not, and sip away to your heart's content. Water rocks.

This brand-new surfboard with gorgeous summer flowers painted on the surface is a hot-selling item. If your pet wants to be daring and catch a ride on a wave, this is surely a must-have.

Don’t forget your towel! In almost all situations a towel is a handy item to have and no more so than when going to the beach. Your pet can lay on it, to prevent sand from sticking all over their fur or feathers, you can use the towel to dry off after a dip in the water, and you can even make a sun shade if you can find a stick on the beach.

During the last 30 years there has been a surge in the applications of rare earth elements and their alloys in several technology devices such as computer memory, DVDs, rechargeable batteries, autocatalytic converters, super magnets, mobile phones, LED lighting, superconductors, glass additives, fluorescent materials, phosphate binding agents, solar panels and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents. The most abundant rare-earth element is cerium, which is actually the 25th most abundant element in Earth's crust, having 68 parts per million (about as common as copper).

There are 17 metallic elements that make up the rare earths. You will find them, with the atomic numbers 21, 39, and 57–71, in the middle of the periodic table. These metals have unusual fluorescent, phosphorescent, conductive and magnetic properties—which make them very useful when alloyed, or mixed, in small quantities with less uncommon metals, such as iron.

One of the most versatile of the shapes, I can be almost anything you want - a full stop, a ball to play with, a berry, a coloured light, part of an eye... the list is endless!

Simple, classic and elegant, I work as a frame for artwork, a colour mask, or a mount within an outer frame.

I'm a heart - what's not to love? Obviously I'm essential for your Valentine scenes, but there's so much more to me than that. You need me to play cards, for instance. Turn me upside down and add a vertical line to make the spade, and make the diamond by overlapping two of me, one upside down. The only suit I can't make is the club. Clever, eh?

When you need to draw the line, I'm always ready to assist. Use me on my own or with my friends as part of a border or more complicated structure; very few shapes are more versatile than I am.

I am happy to join my shape friends. I am an oval, a slightly squashed version of a circle. I don’t roll well, but I make great cat eyes. You can use me to create eggs or holes in the ground, be careful you don’t fall in. I am also great as a plate; you can decorate me around the edges or the middle and place yummy treats on me. Play with me, and pair me with other shapes to make your art slides fun and unique.

I am jumping in to join my shape friends. Don’t I look terrific? I am a pentagon, and I have five sides and five corners. Your pets can have so much fun fitting me together to form unusual art. A single pentagon looks like the silhouette of a barn or house. Put a few of me together, and I make good paving stones or wall decorations. Play around with me and see what new animals or fun buildings you can create.
