Teddy bear games for kids are easy and fun to play. They are soft toys much loved by kids as they treat them as friends, protectors, and confidantes.
Once we have learned this simple action rhyme the teddy Bears picnic will have different activities off showing from the rhyme. Skipping being one off shoot. Possibly a Teddy Bear show with all the Teddy Bears and assistants helping the Teddy Bears sing and do the actions for this song.Hopefully there will be pictures taken as well for the Teddy bear Scrap book.

This was a super quick project that I made for the reception class that I was volunteering with for a week. They loved them! I saw them at a school fair once an figured I had to try them! If I did them again, I would probably use royal icing instead of just normal icing because it might set a bit stiffer and make a more realistic "blanket". Granted these were for a bunch of 5 year olds so I think normal icing was best. Another cool tiny teddy recipe is Milky way cars!
The Teddy Bear Picnic Day was a major hit in my classroom! We worked on essential math and reading skills with our teddy bears and stuffed friends. The kids loved the sleepover and picnic activities!
This is a beautiful book with captivating artwork and lots of repetition. I’ve posted my favourite free printables to go with it.
Did you know that teddy bears, one of the most beloved children’s toys of all time, were inspired by President Theodore Roosevelt? I went on a bit of a TED Talk kick a couple years ago, and Jon Mooallem’s story about President Roosevelt and the history of teddy bears caught my attention. His speech presents the compelling argument that our perceptions of wildlife can impact how and why we engage in conservation efforts- I highly recommend you check it out here. As Mr. Mooallem explains in his talk, Teddy Roosevelt was an avid hunter and outdoorsmen. He was known for being a conservationist, and according to the National Park Service website, “After becoming president in 1901, Roosevelt used his authority to protect wildlife and public lands by creating the United States Forest Service (USFS) and establishing 150 national forests, 51 federal bird reserves, 4 national game preserves, 5 national parks, and 18 national monuments by enabling the 1906 American Antiquities Act. During his presidency,Theodore Roosevelt protected approximately 230 million acres of public land.” For these reasons, he is a personal hero of mine. (Side note- Thank you, President Roosevelt, for establishing Crater Lake National Park- I’m looking forward to road-tripping there this summer!) So, how does all of this history relate to teddy bears? In November 1902, the governor of Mississippi invited President Roosevelt on a bear hunting trip. The hunters had no luck the first day, but on the second day, the dogs managed to corner a black bear. Having given up for the day, President Roosevelt was back at camp, eating lunch. His hunting guide stunned the bear, tied it to a tree, and called for the president to have the honor of shooting the bear himself. When Teddy Roosevelt arrived on the scene, he felt pity for the bear and refused to shoot it. Doing so would be violate the principles of sportsmanship, he believed. Word of President Roosevelt’s act of mercy spread, and the incident was soon turned into a political cartoon depicting the president with his gun down, arm outstretched, and a little bear with oversized ears and eyes wide in fear. A candy shop owner named Morris Mitchom saw the cartoon and became inspired to create a doll-like toy modeled after the bear. He placed a couple of the toys in his shop’s window with a sign proclaiming them to be, “Teddy’s Bear.” The toy rapidly grew in popularity, and Mr. Mitchom eventually started a company to begin mass- producing them after receiving permission from the president to use his name. Thus, the teddy bear was born. It should be noted that the bear ended up being killed by the hunting guide, but this part is often glossed over when the story is told. If you’re interested in a more detailed account, check out the Smithsonian’s article on this story. Presidential history AND teddy bears? This stood out to me as a lesson that my first graders needed to learn! With President’s Day in mid-February, I thought it would be the perfect way to infuse our social studies standards with a bit of Valentine’s Day fun. I put together a lesson that introduced an age-appropriate version of the story and included a fun writing and craft activity. They ate it up last year- I can’t wait to use it again this February! I’m thinking of ending the day with a “Teddy Bear Picnic” to go along with the song that became popular shortly after teddy bears were first created- you can find it on YouTube. I’m happy to answer any questions or feedback about this activity- just email [email protected]. Thanks for stopping by!

If there’s one object that many of us remember fondly from our childhood, it’s probably a teddy bear! It was our company and friend in times when things grew dark and lonely. Remembering that beloved childhood companion brings back those memorable moments, that’s why bears would always hold a special place in everyone’s hearts. Bears, ... Read more
“…For today is the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic.” Our second annual Teddy Bear Picnic is under our belt and it was another great time with friends who have become like family over the last 3.5 years. We started a Mommy and Me Book club in our home last year with a group of friends and it has been such a fun time to come together, read a story, do some activities, eat a fun snack, and just spend some time together. We kicked it off with a Teddy Bear picnic at a local park and knew we had to kick this year off with it as well. A Teddy Bear picnic is a fun way to celebrate National Teddy Bear Day and National Teddy Bear Picnic Day. Here is a peek into our Teddy Bear Picnics from the last two years. This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. Year One: Our sweet friends and their teddy bears were greeted with this fun sign and I whipped up these “beary” fun bags full of bear themed snacks (honeycombs, goldfish, and teddy grahams). We picnicked and the kids had so much fun playing on the playground. Year Two (which we had to hold inside due to weather!!!) …If you go down to the woods today you’d better go in disguise Simply paint a paper plate and cut in half, add a nose and ears, and hot glue a paper straw for a handle and add some eyes. If I had more time I would have cut out the eyes, but the kids loved them like this too. And a beary delicious snack guarded by the best bear around: Vanilla and Chocolate Teddy Grahams and Min Marshmallows Nothing cuter than sweet littles with their best bear friends enjoying each other’s company and having fun. We had every intention of reading The Teddy Bear’s Picnic but we waited too long and hanger (hunger + need a nap anger) kicked in so we fed our little picnickers and then they were all on their way to home for nap. ********************************** You can keep tabs on all our Mommy and Me Book Club adventures throughout the year Here.
