Where's My Teddy takes children on a journey through the dark woods with lovable character Eddy who is searching everywhere for his missing teddy bear.

Kirrily Koala reminds us to Be Present and Have an Awareness! She encourages us to notice the sounds the leaves make, the shadows all around and the surprises that are uncovered along the way.

Elky Elephant wants us to Be Ready and Engage, supporting Eddy to bravely keep going even when he feels nervous and unsure. Elky knows that feeling strong within will help us to search with care.

Pikkle Panda encourages us to Be Mindful and Thoughtful, while considering everyone's feelings - The Bear, Eddy and even the teddy bears who have been lost in the woods.

Through Eddy's adventure, children learn that when we are brave, aware and thoughtful, the scariest of adventures turns into a heartwarming moment of play and learning.

Extend the Learning...

Create a playful search and discovery adventure for the children to rescue their missing teddy bears. Using fabrics and natural resources, set us spaces for children to venture over, under and through, helping children learn about spatial concepts while locating their friends. while some teddy bears might be easy to spot, others may present a challenge and require children to work as a team. Solving problems or following clues might enrich your adventure.
