If you go down to the woods today...Teddy Bear Party!

How adorable is this Teddy Bear Picnic Party by Clare from Mondocherry for her daughter, Tilly?  Clare said it was loads of fun, and very easy to prepare for. The party was held in a park and most of the party, decor and games were handmade. 



The invitations were created from extra large matchboxes which were covered with kraft paper, and had the words of the well loved Teddy Bear's Picnic song.  Little handmade felt Teddy's were slipped in the box.  Teddy's were easy to make - just two pieces of felt and a bit of wadding.  So cute!

                                  Everyone found the party!

            Check out this handmade gingham garland.....adorable!

     Handmade bear ears using headbands from the craft store and some fur.  

One of the games was a treasure hunt following (laminated) Teddy footprints. 

Lunch was packaged up in individual boxes - honey sandwiches of course!

The kids loved playing with Goldilocks and the 3 Bears wooden-spoon puppets.  Another handmade easy idea to make!

Plain brown paper bags were embellished with a Teddy face and furry ears for the goodie bags.

Thank You, Clare for sharing your Teddy Bear Party, and all your handmade ideas with us!
