It may be no fun catching a virus or the common cold, but these giant microbe plush toys are simply adorable. Who wouldn’t want to catch one?
For your chance to win one of five assorted plush microbes from
www.professorplums.com.au, draw a microorganism that you have invented. Make your drawing colourful and tell us about your bacterium, virus or fungus: does it spread disease, grow in strange places or is it helpful to the environment? It’s up to your imagination!
