If you go down to Poplars Grove today 
You're sure of a big surprise 
If you go down to Poplars Grove today 
You'd better go in disguise. 
For every bear that ever there was 
Will gather there for certain, 
Because today's the day 
The Teddy Bears have their garden fun

Garden fun for Teddy Bears 
The little Teddy Bears 
Are having a lovely time today 
Watch them, catch them unawares 
And see them picnic on their holiday. 
See them gaily gad about 
They love to play and shout; 
They never have any cares; 
At six o'clock their Mummies and Daddies, 
Will take them home to bed, 
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears. 

If you go down to Poplars Grove today 
You'd better not go alone 
It's lovely down in the woods today 
But safer to stay at home. 
For every bear that ever there was 
Will gather there for certain, 
Because today's the day 
The Teddy Bears have their garden fun.

I’m a Childminder and last year in Lockdown 1 when my mindees couldn’t come, I set up some displays to send photos to the parents to let the children know what shenanigans their toys were getting up to.  It also kept  passers by entertained on their daily walk.   

A lady who used to be a florist kindly gave me lots of ribbons, last week,  so I decided another display was due!  I hope you enjoy the display..
