September 9 is Teddy Bear Day. Teddy bears are soft, cuddly, and Jude loves them. We did a craft today to celebrate the day.
Jude is having a hard time teething still, so he was very reluctant to participate. We created teddy bear masks for pretend play. I had to do a lot of the painting for him, but he seemed to enjoy choosing the colors and watching me swirl the paint around the bear face. They were easy to make, and I was able to recycle the pizza box from dinner last night. They weren't dry before bedtime. I am looking forward to playing with them tomorrow!
