New Bears – Jo has retired

I have purchased 2 new bears for the children to look after. Jo bear has gone into retirement for a while. We now have Gerry the giraffe and Lou Lou the lamb.

I had some help in chosing them, and making them. Iona and Marta came with me to Bear Mountain where we spent a morning picking out a bear for the boys and one for the girls. They then helped the lady in the shop to make them up. They put a special wish into each bear. This is a little nought symbol that they held up to the sky, made a wish and then put it into the bears stuffing. They then each took a kiss, held it to their hearts and then added that into the bears stuffing too So as you can see these are very special bears, filled with love and wishes Each bear has its own little costume to wear and also a set of pyjamas for them to change into at night. I am sure the children will look after my bears and their clothes very well

I will start putting these bears home with the children in the New Year. Hopefully the children will have loads of fun with them
