Wow, getting everything ready for the kids to go back to school is a lot of work, patience, and energy.

You have to:

• Find the backpack and other things from last year and check to make sure they are still okay
• Brave the crowded big box store with all the other stressed-out parents to buy new things and replace the stuff from last year that is broken
• Help your kid process their pin-balling feelings of excitement, fear, joy, concern, and all the other feelings that fit, or don’t fit, in their growing bodies
• Cram in a last bit of fun and family time, potentially a bunch of things you planned to do all summer and didn’t get to

What if, for today, you bring the kids to the Teddy Bear Picnic and let them play, learn, and join the Teddy Bear Parade with their favourite stuffy?

It is free and there is a free bbq.
