Teddy Bears Picnic Day

[Susan Stephenson, the Book Chook]

Did you know it's Teddy Bears Picnic Day on July 10? Maybe school isn't in, but you could certainly celebrate after the event!

Sharing books about teddy bears is a great idea. Some kids may only know Winnie the Pooh from t-shirts or movies, so reading excerpts from A.A.Milne's books would be great. Or how about a teddy bear dress up day? Even older elementary kids can join the fun by dressing a bear as a famous literary or historical character - Napoleon Bonabear for instance, a bear in bicorn hat and sash, with his paw in his vest.

You'll find more ideas in my post at The Book Chook.
