Teddybear picnic
August 19, 2008
Meet Rupert Bear at the Museum of Childhood’s Teddy Bears’ Picnic where you can enjoy balloon animals and magic, follow the Teddy Bear trail and make a teddy bear mask. Bring your own teddy, dress him up and enter them in the Best Dressed Bear contest (at 3.30pm). For the picnic you can bring your own or buy food once you get there and enjoy lunch outside in the museum’s grounds - we’re feeling optimistic about the weather seeing as it is taking place in August. The Museum of Childhood certainly knows how to entertain the kids and this special picnic is just one of a number of summer family activities taking place throughout August.
