Our Recent Teddy Bears Picnic Event

by | Oct 29, 2024 | Events, News

South Bristol Children’s Centres recently hosted a heartwarming event that brought smiles to the faces of children and grandparents alike. The Teddy Bears Picnic, held in collaboration with the Knowle West Healthy Living Centre, was hugely successful.

This special event featured engaging activities that captivated the children and their grandparents. From teddy bear puzzles and mask making, there was something for everyone. The children delighted in colouring, decorating paper plates, and participating in a teddy bear hunt outdoors.

One of the event’s highlights was the parachute game, with teddy bear songs playing. The children and their teddies enjoyed the music and the playful activities. The interactive reading sessions, featuring beloved stories like “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” and “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” were a hit with both children and grandparents.

The event was held over three sessions, each with its unique highlights.

The first session saw families bringing their own teddies and engaging in the activities, including role-playing with the tea set. The second session was even more lively, with more families attending and particularly enjoying the playdough activities, crafts, and the teddy bear hunt.

The third session was the busiest, with returning families eager to join the fun again! The children particularly enjoyed making teddy bear masks, and the interactive reading time was a favourite too.

We ended the session by handing out Teddy Bear packs with colouring books, crayons and finger puppets.

The feedback from the attendees was overwhelmingly positive. Grandparents appreciated the interactive nature of the activities and the staff’s warm hospitality. The event provided a fun-filled day for the children and fostered a sense of community and connection among the families. Seeing the attendees create such special memories through creative play was lovely.

We are excited to host many delightful events in the future. Please keep an eye on our timetable for more events and activities.
