TEDDY BEARS’ PICNIC

WE’RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT

There’s something so nostalgic about taking your teddy bears out to the backyard and having a picnic in the afternoon sun (don’t forget the sunscreen!). And what was once a pastime for parents and grandparents is having a resurgence in 2020! It’s the perfect way to get down to your child’s level and just play. Simply grab a cosy blanket, their favourite soft toys, and of course, some delicious snacks.

GET CRAFTY! YOUR LITTLE ONES WILL LOVE GATHERING SOME SEASONAL BLOOMS AND CREATING FLOWER TIARAS. ONE FOR THEM AND ONE FOR TED!

A healthy platter doesn’t have to be boring! Add bright colours and have plenty of options for dipping

STUFFED WITH LOVE

Treat the kids (and their furry companions) to some healthy and delicious snacks that they can graze on as their afternoon of adventure unfolds. You can’t go wrong with bite-sized morsels of fresh fruit, combined with some nutritious muesli bars. For something a little more fun, why not make some nut-free bliss balls, complete with cacao and oats, and rolled in coconut!

Oh! And we hear that Winnie The Pooh’s favourite food is honey sandwiches! Pair with some mini sausage rolls, veggie sticks for dipping, Tiny Teddy biscuits, mini pizzas, and jelly and ice cream for dessert – YUM! For extra brownie points, grab a teddy bear cookie cutter from your closest Stockland shopping centre and bake some cookies from scratch. And if all else fails, finish the day with some fun-filled games like What’s The Time Mr Bear?, Hide n’ Seek or Musical Statues – just make sure you keep an eye on teddy, he’s a mischievous one!

The Stockland CARE Foundation is celebrating one year on bringing together charity partners ReachOut, Redkite and R U OK?, in a new collaborative partnership model that aims to improve wellbeing in communities across Australia.

In the last year, we have worked together to reach over 250,000 people and empower communities by providing vital skills, resources and networks that focus on the power of connection to provide support during what has been a challenging year for all of us.
