I had them dress up after giving them an invite to a teddy bears picnic. Oh, the fun!

I was able to reuse activities we had used during previous rows. It was interesting to see how far B2 had come since before Christmas.
And here are a few photos of them doing all the activities:
Games or group activities
The older girls put together a toy shop for A4 and B2 to buy toys from:
Special A4 and Mummy activity
Over the last week or so I had gathered bits and pieces for a small needlework basket. I knew that this would greatly excite A4, given that she always wants to be like her older sisters, both of whom enjoy sewing:
We had bought a bear from a charity shop for 40p, which whilst not exactly like corduroy, was close enough. Especially if one was to add green overalls. And this was my plan. I had just enough green felt to cut a pair of overalls out. I cut tiny holes around the seams to make it simple for A4 to sew them together. I added a couple of buttons and we were away!
For just 40p we had made a Corduroy!

Special B1 and Mummy activity
I cut a bear out of black foam and then a set of green overalls from felt. I added a couple of buttons and some foam bits for a face in a contrasting colour and we had us an activity!

Wow, I remember those books and the cute bear overalls! The littles look so cute in them! The dressing-the-bear activities are perfect for their respective ages, and the cooking activities are always a joy for children to participate in. What a fantastic study!
Thanks Hwee!
They look so cute in the bear suits! Such a great collection of bear activities, love how A4 made Corduroy!
Thank you! A4 just loves that bear!
I hope you’re feeling better now?
Beautiful to see such happiness and smiles all around! I particularly like the pic of your little one with her new sewing basket! Such JOY! I don’t like wearing shoes either… and my little man has inherited that… I don’t know why I bother with shoes… 😉 Although I think we can get away with it more here in South Africa than in the UK!
I’d be terrible in a hot country. Gary has a hard enough job making me wear shoes in the winter over here, and the summer? He’s given up trying!!
Great job A4. Your teddy bear looks amazing. When you going to start making clothes for me? Glad to see such smiley faces.
Thanks Daddy!
