How to Plan a Teddy Bear Picnic
- 1). Decide who you'll invite to the picnic.
- 2). Design teddy bear-themed invitations by hand or with a computer program. Indicate that each invitee must bring a favorite teddy bear.
- 3). Send or hand-deliver the invitations to your guests.
- 4). Find a tablecloth or blanket to spread on the ground under a tree. A red-and-white checkered cloth is classic. You can also find teddy bear print fabric that works well.
- 5). Set places for each guest and teddy. Use a child's china tea set for the teddies and plastic plates and cups for the humans.
- 6). Collect wildflowers for a centerpiece and display them in the middle of the picnic cloth.
- 7). Make or buy cupcakes decorated with bears, or bake some bear-shaped cookies.
- 8). Mix up some lemonade or other beverage.
- 9). Create party favors. Doll clothes or hats make nice gifts for the teddies. Small throw pillows in teddy bear prints make lovely gifts for the humans.
