Travelling teddies linked to eyfs

[Monkey1]

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?

[manjay]

Would your bear be allowed to cross the border?

[miss mopple]

Sounds like a fab idea

[angeldelight]

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

So is Charlie! He is with one mindee watching santa arrive in Shrewsbury with his Reindeer! and he is appropriatly dressed in his warm santa suit! He is visiting santa with my godson at wonderland and with the mindees at Blists Hill victorian town so we can hopefully compare the modern day xmas with the 'olden day' one, then hes off to south africa with my Mum.......she is sooooo impressed with me!

We really must exchange bears soon Monkey for a week or so

Oh we went there to Bilist Hill it was lovely - Black Country Museum is better but Blists Hill was fairly good and even better at this time of the year I bet

[SimplyLucy]

I 'm not sure....i thought i would rip off all the ideas on that American Site

[crazybones]

I'd like to join too. Would he like to come to Centerparcs at the beginning of January or Spain in August. Or I could take him to Anfield to see a proper football match.
