International Teddy Bears Picnic Day!

What a delightful day we had celebrating International Teddy Bear’s Picnic Day! The children were so excited to bring along their cherished cuddly companions—teddy bears of all shapes and sizes—to join in the fun.

The day was filled with engaging and meaningful activities that supported creativity, coordination, and social interaction. Children participated in a teddy-themed scavenger hunt, practiced their gross motor skills with bean bag games, and explored their imaginations through bear-inspired arts and crafts. The children also helped make delicious cupcakes, each topped with a tiny teddy biscuit—perfect for sharing during our special picnic of course!                                                                                                      

To top it all off, the afternoon brought an extra touch of magic with face painting, adding to the festive atmosphere and imaginative play of the day.

Events like this create rich learning opportunities, foster a sense of belonging, and build lasting memories for our tamariki and their teddies alike!
