GOING ON A BEAR HUNT

After seeing how communities are embracing the children's story "Going on a Bear Hunt". We decided that it wasn't only fun for children to find bears on their daily walk but us oldies could join in the fun. So residents in the village started putting out bears for us all to find as we walked around the village of an evening. Here are some of the many that I have found.

These bears are wearing their Easter hats.

These Bears got into trouble for not socially distancing so the next day they were behaving themselves and wearing masks.

  1. Made me smile. I suppose you will be missing some birthday bear catch ups. If you had the bear, you could have put him out with his latest outfit.

  2. Good to see everyone joining in with the fun. My very small Paddington Bear is standing in my window, though I don't know if my neighbours little ones have noticed him yet.

  5. Diane these are just gorgeous.
    You know I don't have a teddy, but I do have a very little one from the lavender farm.
    Take care.

  13. You had a very successful bear hunt. I think it's wonderful that you and your neighbors are finding ways to make the stay at home more enjoyable.

  14. The bear hunt in your community looked like fun, Diane. It would be much harder to do that here in this mill apt complex because of walking indoors. If residents did put bears in the windows it would be difficult to see them, especially on the river side :-( which is where our windows face.

  15. I hadn’t even heard of the children’s version, but I know I’d love it...not to mention the grown folks interpretations. What fun. I’m going to do a google Hunt for the Bear Hunt! Are you also still able to walk in your woods? I hope so.

  16. Such fun. I have not gone out walking to see if there are any about in these parts. I have been wondering if Birthday Bear is going to have a Zoom party.
