Until We Hug Again Bears

Both my son and daughter (aged 5 & 4) love this cute and cuddly Until We Hug Again bear. They’ve been fighting over it and surprisingly, they’ve agreed on a bear share scheme! Just today, the bear was passed onto the next person and the voice was re-recorded. The bear is very well made. The material is very soft to touch and the body is filled with cotton, but not overly so. This makes it easy for the children to cuddle and press to hear the recorded voice. The tips of the limbs are filled with beans/polystyrene pellets which gives it a nice bit of weight.

A dayout to Build A Bear Workshop

Ms C’s birthday is coming soon and she is going to be 4 years old.  It’s amazing how quickly that time has passed. She adores her soft toys and loves to have them share her bed. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to experience the Build-A-Bear workshop. Before we visited the shop, I did some research on their website with my children. I tried to talk them through what we were going to do. They were so excited! Last Saturday, we wake up fairly early and arrived at the Derby Westfield. We were kindly shown around by their lovely staff who briefly explained the process.

1. Choose Me

This is the first station where they get to choose their un-stuffed Bear/Cat/Dog/Rabbit/My Little Pony/Hello Kitty and get to cuddle the sample. Last month, they launched their Autism Awareness Bear and My Little Pony. Each animal’s price start from £9 onwards, which I think is very reasonable price. Ms C went for the Disney Princess Bear with six different princesses printed on the foot while Mr K chose a more traditional looking Sweet Velvet Teddy.

Teddy Bear Picnic at Beacon Park

It had been a long time since we last visited Beacon Park and I was amazed that there were so much of changes. There were more benches, a pirate ship and workable swing which was broken before.  One negative note though, I felt that they could at least put a barrier around the pond. I was worried that babies/children might fall in there.

Bear Making Workshops At Lichfield Library

Today, Mr K went to Lichfield library with his best friends, E and K to make a teddy bear and cookies and join in the bear stories and picnic. The Bear Making workshop cost £2.50 for 1.5 hours and I think it was a great bargain! Look what he got! He has named his bear Zac after his best friend! I would rate this activity 5 stars out of 5. Staffordshire library has offered the best school holiday activities for children! Awesome!
