On my daily walks recently I noticed teddy bears in people's front windows and wondered what the significance was, so I finally thought to look it up.  Fun for the kids who are home instead of in school and out on walks with their parents.

I have collected a lot of teddies over the years and just put 4 of the smaller ones (one is really tiny, a miniature) in my window.  One is an angel bear, white with sparkly white wings.

I hope the kiddos enjoy seeing them.  I love my bears. 

My cat, Nelson, now has his eye on them.  I wonder how long they might stay on the windowsill now.

@QueenDanceALot  That's happening in my neighborhood in Dallas, TX, too.  So fun!

I just added one more.

I am thinking of putting a really big one in the space under the smaller 5.

TEDDY BEAR CRAZY!!

eta:  I just put him there.  He's big and cuddly!

I have so many more.  Maybe I'll switch them up every day!

I hope the kiddos aren't on to a new game already.  I think I'm late to the party!

around here they have been doing "animal hunts" instead of just teddy bears.

neighbors have been asked to put a stuffed animal or figurine in a front window that can easily be seen. when the children walk around, they can write down the animals they have seen (or have their parent write them down) and then do short reports on them for in home schooling.

Ah, well that sounds fun!

I do have some birds in other windows by my front door.  But they might be too small for them to see.

It's hard to miss the giant bear.

I have lots of teddies (collected them when it was popular) and its been so much fun to put them in the windows. Makes me think about collecting more but I don't need more stuff.😄

They have been doing it in town also, and some of the participants put the bears outside and several were taken. And not returned.

I do think its a sweet idea though. Where we live no one would see the bears if I put any in the windows.
