Teddy Bear Picnic!

For several years now my library has hosted and annual Teddy Bear Picnic. As they enter, kids make a craft and find a place to sit on the floor. After everyone has a chance to eat their lunch we read a story. Then we play The Teddy Bear Picnic song and have a chance to dance with our special guest, a volunteer dressed up in a teddy bear costume (thanks Zeke!). Many of the kids like to have their photo taken with the bear. After that, all that's left is a special snack. 

Bears have a snowball fight.
