I'm Going on a Bear Hunt

We are a month into "social isolation" and "quarantine." Inspired by Michael Rosen's book "We're Going on Bear Hunt," people are putting stuffed animals in windows for children (and those young at heart) to find and count. Consider it a collective social distancing game.

The idea is while out on a walk with your family look for teddy bears. They might be stuffed animals of any shape and variety, or even a drawing of a bear. We put one in our upstairs window, but then Mimi, the new kitten, decided that was the perfect spot to sit (as we had put the ledge in for a different cat, it makes perfect sense).




A few days later I noticed this sign in our neighborhood: 

















Then I saw this bear in the back of a car:

The hunt was on! My friend Heidi posted pictures of bears in Hopewell. Yesterday I took the top down and went on a bear hunt in her town.

Take a stroll through your neighborhood and peek through windows. It might be the only time in your life it is socially okay to look in their windows.

Better yet, put a bear in your window so people have an excuse to look inside your home.
