Use words like chair, stair, care, share, and hair. Use these words to make up a silly rhyme. • Look around your house to find words that begin with the letter b. • Play rhyming games "I'm thinking of something in this room that rhymes with 'hair' and starts with 'b'. It's your soft, fuzzy ____." Read poems with rhyming words aloud, leaving out the rhyme every so often to see if your child can guess the missing word. • Give your child a magic word to listen for. Tell your child that when s/he hears that word, they can do the next daily routine. For example, you can use the word bear as the magic word to mean “go put your coat on.” Songs and Fingerplays You Might Like to Share: Time for Sleeping Bears are Sleeping (sing to “Frere Jacques”) Now its time for sleeping The bears go in their caves Bears are sleeping Keeping warm and cozy Bears are sleeping (pretend to sleep) Time for lazy days In their lairs When the snow is gone In their lairs And the sun comes out to play Soon it will be springtime The bears will wake up from their sleep Soon it will be springtime And then go on their way Wake up bears!(pretend to wake up) Wake up bears!

  • For Immediate Release the WORLD's OLDEST TEDDY BEAR
    For Immediate Release 30 August 2006 Contact: Zoë Schoon 020.7752.3121 [email protected] THE WORLD’S OLDEST TEDDY BEAR MUSEUM TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE TREATY AT CHRISTIE’S SOUTH KENSINGTON The Teddy Bear Museum, Stratford-upon-Avon South Kensington – Christie’s are pleased to present, by private treaty, the sale of the world’s oldest Teddy Bear Museum, based in Stratford-upon-Avon. The award-winning museum was opened by self- confessed teddy bear enthusiast and well known broadcaster Gyles Brandreth and his wife Michele, on 4th July 1988. Since then, this popular little museum has gone from strength to strength in one of England’s most celebrated towns. Stratford-upon-Avon attracts five million tourists annually and visitors to the Teddy Bear Museum have ranged from royalty to Tony Blair’s bear, Lynton, who recently spent his summer holidays at the Museum. The collection, personally put together by Brandreth, numbers a thousand bears and related items. It is to be sold as a going concern, along with the Tudor building (once the property of King Henry VIII) that has been its home for the last 18 years. “The Museum has come of age and it’s now time for us to find new owners for the museum and its unique collection. Our children are all grown-up and my work commitments mean that I simply don’t have the time to give it the care and attention it deserves. We want to find new owners for the Museum who will love it as much as we do and see it go from strength to strength.” Said Gyles Brandreth Highlights of the collection include several early Steiff bears, the earliest being Growler, a much- sought-after Steiff rod-bear, circa 1904.
