Teddy Bear Picnic!

Madelyn gives her teddy bear a squeeze during our picnic.

I don't want to sound uppity, but our story times at Mentor Library can get pretty adorable with the mixed-up fashion shows, stuffed animal clinics and Ninja Turtles.

So how do we make it even cuter?

We told kids to bring along their teddy bears.

Abby sketches a portrait of her teddy bear outside of our Read House.

We had a Teddy Bear Picnic on Friday outside of our Read House with stories, games and crafts.
And I could tell you all about it, or I could just show you the pictures? So which would you prefer: words or photos of kids with their stuffed best friends?

The bears get in the game during Teddy Bear Shotput.

Kids play ring toss with their bears.

Marco makes a name tag for his bear.

By the way, if your kid likes teddy bears, then we probably have some books they would enjoy.

See you at the library!
