Bear Hunt

Lions and tigers and teddy bears, oh my!
With families around the world abiding by social distancing guidelines recommended by health experts and centres for disease control and to curb the further spread of coronavirus, neighborhood “bear hunts” are becoming all the rage in some areas.
Taking a page from Michael Rosen’s 1989 children’s book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, members of a number of communities across the globe are placing teddy bears and other stuffed animals in their homes’ windows to create a scavenger hunt-esque activity for kids who are stuck at home. While taking walks or drives around the neighborhood with their parents, kids in participating communities can have some fun by keeping an eye out for any number of stuffed animals that have been put on display at other houses.
Shanna Bonner Groom, who spearheaded the recent bear hunting initiative in the Stewart Springs neighborhood of Murfreesboro, Tenn., tells TIME that she got the word out by posting the idea in her neighborhood’s private Facebook group after seeing it floating around on social media. Now, she says kids are roaming the neighborhood in full safari outfits, binoculars included.
“Within hours, everybody was responding and wanting to join in,” she says. “Everybody’s trying to enjoy this time at home with each other but do social distancing at the same time. So we’re trying to come up with some fun activities.”

We passed quite a few houses today with teddies and unicorns and any stuffed toy you could think of hanging from balconies and doors and sitting on window sills, these few teddies have hung around our house some for many years the smiley face yellow teddy was one Sara gave me when i was unwell years ago, the big panda was one of my boys teds that sat on his bed, the rabbit is one of the boys too, the little dog at the bottom of the tree is Milo's i know someone will recognise him instantly besides Milo! the pink teddy is one of Keely's when she was little.
The Kanga will be recognised by Anniemay who made Kanga and roo for Mark when he was little.
All enjoying a bit of outdoors for a week or so.
Hope they brighten up someones day?
