Teddy Bears Picnic

 

As you might have seen throughout this last year that the Church that the boys and I attend have family themed events that are also stretched openly for the local community. One that was very popular last year was our Teddy Bears Picnic. So once again we held one; I decided to have some fun and do the post on the Teddy Bear Picnic song.

 

 

1. If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise!

 

 

 

Well it had been over 10 days since I saw my two lovely boys so it was definitely a lovely surprise!

 

2. For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain,
Because today's the day the
Teddy Bears have their picnic.

 

My two lovelies brought their favourite teddies. William had his Polar Bear called Don't Know (He really didn't know what he was called and it kind of stuck!) James had his fluffy, one eared, Dog called Charlie.

 

Lots of the children brought bears but we did have a Dinosaur there as well!

 

3. Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having
A lovely time today.
 Watch them, catch them unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.

 

 

 

With the Church service over we headed to the hall where we got our blankets out, teddies sat and we enjoyed our picnic. The Boys loved this; which little child doesn't any sitting on a blanket, stuffing their faces with party picnic food?

 

4. See them gaily gad about.
They love to play and shout,
They never have any care;

 

 

Now it was time for some games!

 

There were 10 Teddy related Anagrams around the room; something that Daddy thoroughly enjoyed doing and found rather easy! Which was great for the boys to receive their prize before the other children! 

 

 

There were also little coloured bears scattered around the room that the children had to run around and collect a colour to complete a full set. James loved this although kept trying to match the same colour rather than get a collection of colours.

 

5. At six o'clock their Mommies and Daddies
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears

This really was a fabulous family event and it had Mums, Dads and even Grandparents joining in, sharing food and playing games; everyone was welcome and everyone was getting involved.

 

We has a fantastic time and it is always great to see so many people coming along and having fun. Although, I will add, that we didn't leave with tired little Teddy bears!! Well mine at least seemed rather full or energy!
