July 10th 2016 is one of the best days of the year for Children… that’s right, Teddy Bear Picnic Day! A wonderful event for kids and adults alike, allowing what we would hope to be a lovely day of weather, fun, friends, food and fuzzy best friends!

Since 1988 the tradition has stood strong of this fantastic day, which will undoubtedly prove a huge worldwide success once again. As a part of the celebrations you could build your own bear, with excellent opportunities to allow your child some individual creative opportunities to build and bring their very own new friend.

Gather all your friends and family together for a picnic of all your favourite foods, games and activities, with sing along, dancing and games such as hide and seek being huge favourites!

The famed ‘The Teddy Bear’s Picnic’ song, written by John Walter Bratton as an original instrument only song, was later reworked by James Kennedy with lyrics, which led to the song as we know it. This song is a great addition to the picnic activities and due to its popularity; many children will already be familiar with the words!

As a picnic is somewhat of a classic British pastime, the theme for teddy bear in the height of July couldn’t sound more appealing, so we urge you to get involved with the celebrations by organising your very own friends, family and fuzzy bear picnic.
