Travelling teddies linked to eyfs

**Monkey1** · 20-11-2008, 06:18 PM

I have been thinking.....i know.....most unusual

My l'o's love my Charlie Monkey and i have been inspired by reading this blog on an American Child care site where four teddies travel from place to place.
Reading guidence in the eyfs it implies that working with other agencies could be childminders working with other childminders. How about we have a forum bear? It could travel from one place to another all over the uk etc and we could do a blog for it which you could give the link to in newsletters to parents etc. It would take a bit of organising ie, information packs and permission slips etc etc but i don't mind organising it if there are a few of us interested!
If your interested could you please put your name below or pm me! It would all make interesting reading for our friends at Ofsted!

Would that come with its one learning journey so the children at each setting can add notes and draw pics to put in?

Would your bear be allowed to cross the border?

Sounds like a fab idea

Oh you can use my buttercup if you want

He is booked for most people here anyway and he knows most of their bad habits - well the ones hes already been to visit ..... Pauline etc

I will get a new one and start from scratch / from birth etc so everyone can contribute ie name, type of bear etc

Of course! and perhaps if we ask Pauline we can link his blog to here etc

**Twinkles** · 20-11-2008, 06:59 PM

**brum-minder** · 12-01-2009, 09:01 PM

Hi, I have just seen this and as a newbie and not registered yet, would be very interested in the future, would it be possible to go on a waiting list or similar?

Fab idea!

Thanks

**misst104** · 13-01-2009, 06:08 PM

Hiya,

I'm also in process of registering but would also be really interested in being put on a waiting list for newbies (if you decide to do one!!). Think its such a great idea and am certain the Ofsted bods would be impressed
