Bear Hunts and Teddy Bear searches are going on around the world right now! It seems like every country and neighbourhood has its own bear hunt trail taking place. Do you have a teddy bear in your window? I have seen cars of families driving past and shouting out “There!” Each time they pass another bear. It is a simple activity but I can see how much effect it is having on people. Not just the kids, I think it’s giving adults an activity to do too. It is something that can be done safely in isolation, be it in your own car or on foot, on a bike or in the pram.
The Book We are going on a bear hunt, is one of the most treasured books in our house, it was the bedtime story for our youngest and after 11 years we still have it.
This article is all about bear hunts in your own neighbourhood and how you can extend the day’s activity to include other crafts and activities based around your Bear hunt outing. Maybe you can’t go out, but have a Teddy bear in your own window and these activities will help you to enjoy the “bear hunt” craze safely from your own home.
Don’t have a teddy bear? How about printing one out to stick in the window. We have included a A4 sized printable below, just save and print. You may wish to print in black and white if you don’t have the ink available. You can also paint your own teddy bear onto a canvas. If you are feeling very creative, how about using an old bed sheet and painting a giant bear to hang in your Window?
