Throw a Teddy Bear Party!
If you go out in the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
Teddy Bear song lyrics
This party is so much fun to plan - who doesn't smile when they are holding a teddy bear? Invite guests to bring their bear all dressed up for the occasion, or if you'd like to build your own bear, read below for complete information.
Where to host this party? Your teddy bear picnic could be held in your own backyard, an outdoor park, or even in your living room with a blanket spread out on the floor. Your bear party could even be a birthday party, tea party (complete with china and tea), or slumber party. Don't forget your pillow!
Fun Things to do at the Party
Reading is a great activity for any party, whether an adult reads the book or each child takes a turn. Not only does it inspire everyone to read more, the activity can quiet down a noisy bunch, function as the bridge between activities, or simply entertain children until all have arrived, or departed. Here are a few books in the teddy bear theme:
Another colorful book to consider is Buck Wilder's Animal Wisdom
Everyone's favorite outdoorsman - Buck Wilder - uses sloppy pigs, prickly porcupines, and hard-working beavers (and more!) to show animal's coolest traits. Fun and playful for all audiences.
Hunt for Treasure/chest.jpg)
Bears are full of adventure, and what better fun than a treasure hunt with a real treasure chest full of toys! Create a map and let the kids explore until they find the loot. Your map could have a clue hidden in each location. This is a great inside or outside activity. Its always helpful to plan a half hour for the hunt, and then another half hour for the children to play with the toys.
