Honey Bear is ready for his adventures during the summer holidays. Please keep an eye out on your child's tapestry account (pre school) to see when Honey Bear is ready for his turn at your house.
Honey Bear has packed his story books in a stay over bag including a toothbrush and other appropriate resources depending on age/ stage of development. We are hoping this will encourage your child to brush their teeth for two minutes at morning and night alongside the teddy to promote good oral hygiene.
Here at Little Leaps we recognise the developmental benefits of teddy bears such as language development and are great for social emotional learning. Children particularly use teddies for pretend role and role play imaginary situations. A teddy bear can help stimulate and develop a child’s imagination. We recognise they provide comfort, companionship and a friend to talk too.
We are hoping the Teddy (Honey) will provide a lot of learning opportunities at home too.
We are really encouraging photos of teddies week to be uploaded on tapestry. If you would like you can also add a write a few notes about Teddy we can then use these photos as a discussion point at welcome time which is great for listening skills and communication and language for the children at Little Leaps.
Thank you for your continued support and we shall look forward to hearing all about Honey's experiences!
