Use This Map to Help You Go on a Teddy Bear Hunt

A Fun Activity During Social Distancing

Are you participating in the Northwest Arkansas Teddy Bear Hunt? During this time of social distancing, taking walks in the neighborhood, while practicing social distancing, or driving around looking for stuffed animals in front windows is a great way for families to bond and bring joy to kids! My girls and I needed to get out of the house yesterday and had heard a neighborhood in town had a lot of teddy bears and other stuffed animals, so we spent about 20 minutes driving up and down the streets counting. My girls counted 32 bears/ other stuffed animals in the windows and it was a great distraction from the constant media talk of COVID-19.

I created a simple form where you can enter your address (no identifying information or name) if you are participating with a bear in your front window. I am adding each address submitted to this TEDDY BEAR MAP so it will be easy for families to see the best places to hunt for teddy bears, sloths, dinosaurs and more :)

Register your home or business HERE if you are participating.
