Teddy Bear Picnic for Tots Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent All we need is love and teddy bears and stuff toys give children something to love. Vegreville and Area Parent Link Centre (PLC) wanted to give children a chance to get together with their family and have a Teddy Bear Picnic and Supper on July 29. PLC Programmer, Angel Campbell said it is very important for
children to have stuff toys because it helps their social and emotional growth. And Parent Link Centre made sure children were engaged and had fun activities involving teddy bears. In PLC playground, there was a craft project where children made their own bear’s ear bands. At a spot close by, Campbell interviewed the children about
their teddy bears or stuff animals. There was also a Feed Me Bear Toss, Trace Our Bear’s activity, Bear Race, and a ring toss children could do with their bears. To wrap the program up, Campbell read the children the story Bear Hugs by Alyssa Capucilli and children tried to learn the Teddy Bear Picnic song.
