Teddies Autumn Picnic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the teddies sitting on a pretty carpet of\nAutumn leaves.
\nIt is baby bear Caroline Catriona\u2019s birthday. She\nis sitting in the special purple Birthday Chair.  Her Mother and Father bear thought it would\nbe fun to take an Autumn walk in the park and share a picnic.
\n
\nAll the bears ran about shuffling the leaves\nwith their feet .
\nThe dry leaves made a wonderful crunchy and\nshushy sound.
\n
\nAt last they sat down together, (but two paws\napart).
\nUncle Jimmy bear, with his red bow, put out the\ntable cloth.
\nDear old Uncle Ted is about to take the\ndelicious food out of the picnic basket.
\nCan you see Caroline Catriona\u2019s  little\nbrother peeking under the picnic cover?
\nHer best friend Jennifer Puppet is sitting next\nto Uncle Jimmy. Jennifer has an autumn leaf on her knee. She will use it like a\nplate for her food.
\n
\n\n\nTheir next-door neighbour, Big Brown Bear is sitting quietly.  Can you see that he put on his new satin\nnecktie especially for the party? He is wondering what is under the picnic\nbasket cover.  What do you think bears\nmight take to a picnic? What do teddies like to eat?

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a song about Autumn leaves. All the teddies\nknow this song because they sang it when they went to kindergarten.  Some of you may know the song or you may like\nto play the notes on your piano or your recorders or guitars.  You could sing the song with the teddies!
\n
\nThis song was written by a lady called Zoe\nMcHenry. She was a clever piano player and song writer and she lived in\nAustralia. She also wrote good songs for children about snails and elephants\nand lots of other things.
\nHappy Autumn days everybody!
\nThe Teddies hope you have fun shuffling the\nleaves too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are walking past the library, have a look through the window furthest to the left and you might see some of them there when they have finished their picnic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
