Crafts

Don’t forget to get stuck in and make a Teddy Bear Mask and Bear Ears to wear, or practice your paper weaving to hang up at home, or create a Paper Jumper Bear! £1 per child. No booking required.

Guess, Guess, Guess

Finally try your luck at guessing how many gummy bears are in our jar or guessing the name of our Teddy Bear. If you guess correctly you could win and get to take them home!
