Kids and Parents are “Going On a Bear Hunt” To Pass The Time with Teddy Bears

This may be the most adorable thing we have seen thus far for kids and parents. People hunting teddy bears around their neighborhoods! Why?

It’s called “bear hunting.” According to social media posts, it’s based off the “Going on a Bear Hunt” book. Neighbors who want to participate are putting bears in the windows and on porches for families to go on a “bear hunt.”

Children across the world are putting bears in their windows to create their very own ‘Bear Hunt’ – the perfect activity for little ones during times of social distancing (https://t.co/4EWVwOjd5s).

“Bear hunting” is something neighborhoods across the state and country are doing during this pandemic as a way to help families and neighbors connect.

Something uplifting to share during the crisis – lots of lovely residents in Gondar Gardens have put teddy bears in their windows to create a bear hunt for children that walk by! What a sweet idea ♥️ pic.twitter.com/q5MA63M13M

To the parent (it’s gotta be a parent) who came up w/ this idea, THANK YOU. Explaining to a 4yr-old why playdates aren’t allowed anymore is heartbreaking, so “Going on a Bear Hunt” during our walks is the distraction we needed. Our street right now:#COVID19 pic.twitter.com/aOhSlmJsVJ
