Violet Bear

Violet Bear visits every so often.  Violet Bear first made an appearance just after the 2009 Black Saturday bush fires in Australia. 
At that stage Violet Bear agreed to have her photo taken to help with fundraising. Then Violet Bear was able to actually go on holiday.

Ooops - creation under way!

Maybe not quite like this end effect but a paper scrap book of Teddy Bear Adventures is now being created.

Things to add are photos of the Teddy Bears that are coming to the Teddy Bears Picnic, Clean up Australia day and other activities.  Also added are the recipes, games, knots, songs and other things that are done .

The friendly Teddy Bears love to be involved in all sorts of activities, outings, camps as well as going for hikes, walks, picnics and parties.  Go Disco and a get together.  Sometimes they have morning teas and BBQ's

Teddies all tied up right now.

When any activity is being planned first aid training always is a precursor to the event. Small bite sized information packages with associated games or activity relating to the activity.  For instance with a teddy bears picnic the lead up may include things like simple cuts and ouches. What to do with blood. or even informing other of  allergies - bee stings or food reactions leading to anaphalitic shock or phobias.

First aid experience is great when Teddy and friends are involved.  It is a bit hard to take of the band aids or use fake blood though.  But teddies are great for tying up in knots, hanging upside down in trees waiting for rescue, catapulting in the air with games then being attended to.  Sometimes they even get bandaged up. 

A medium to big Teddy bear is easier to tie triangular slings around though. Also having large drawings of simple knot pictures is useful as a reference.  As the learner begins to associate the knot desired knot with the required hand movements the use of the knot is subliminally reinforced.  Especially when learning one thing is associated acceptable behavior or pleasent memories created as part of a bigger program, broken into manageable steps.

If the age group is young a slightly larger teddy is used as the activity becomes a small group activity. Have older people either adults or more experienced children offering to assist with the practical reinforcement if knot tying is a good idea. There is also a reinforcement of accepting other people as they are through the use of Teddy and friends.

When the age group of those using Teddy and friends is older and or more experienced the Teddy does not require an ambulance or paper work to be filled when rescue attempts occur with enthusiastic helpers pulling, push or yanking.

Another thing we do is make a scrapbook of what has happened while planning.  As the activity comes closer the parents of the children and other interested people can physically see the wide scope of things covered.  Later years those that were involved have a physical reference which assists with instant recall as well as reinforcement of learned but not consciously remembered first aid procedures.  The scrap book also assists with future planning of similar activities.  Alternatively prompts what first aid training the Teddy Bear has not been used as a practice model with.
