Halloween Teddy Bears

What will you be doing this halloween? For many of us it's a time of dressing up in our most spookiest costumes, finding the scariest of masks and going through our kitchen cupboard to find the biggest bowl to hold our haul of sweets, gum and maybe a few friendly fruits. It's a time of year when the nights are drawing in early and the cold air is now upon us. Generally our children are happy to venture out into the streets to knock on a few friendly doors, most of whom display some sort of lantern or other halloween ornament to show they are waiting for a knock on their door. Maybe this year you could turn your hand at making an exciting new costume for your favourite teddy bear. Of course as always there are build-a-bear shops that supply their own ready made outfits but wouldn't it be a lovely gift to your teddy this year if you were to sew together your own special costume. The ideas are endless with the obvious witch or warlock, or maybe a pumpkin or skeleton. Maybe you or a relative can turn your hand to knitting or crochet. Sometimes we have an old pair of trousers in the bottom of the wardrobe that are now only good enough for recycling and turning into a new outfit for your special teddy bear. If this is not for you or you just don't have the time this halloween but would like to treat yourself or someone else to a seasonal teddy bear there are many on sale. TY possibly have the largest selection of halloween bears. Me to You have a great halloween figurine. And Bearigton Bears have a wide selection of pumpkin inspired bears and also a lovely fury black cat basket, a great accompaniment to that wonderful costume.
