How a 'big toy' can give a child a voice.

Sometimes Teddy Bears and their friends had days that just do not work out right.  This big old 'friend' was crying so much over the Orangatang  in the film that his eye suffered.   We had all told our friend here not to put the hands near the face. The eye needed resewing on before the big button was lost. 

We all forgot that the feet had toes.  Rather than put his foot in the mouth our friend found comfort with the toe.  Ho hum.

 Our friend here is tall in height and very round at the middle.   Although us big humans were not afraid of our friend's size the little humans were not sure of him.  In order for our friend to be approached by the little humans something needed to be done.   There was at least one Teddy Bear afternoon tea that he was invited to.  The little humans also came.  Some could only bring a smile while others brought friends or some food to share by all.

There were games played and songs sung.  The theme of the Afternoon tea was "Our World".  Some of the little humans wanted our big friend here to tell them a story about being sooo big.  But the problem was our friend had no voice.  So the little humans took turn in a charades game.

Over the next few weeks though some friendly human made this big friendly toy into a puppet.  When the next time our large friend came to play with the little humans the older ones had been practising how to talk and tell stories "puppet style'.

Over the years since this happened many of the people still remember our friend. They remember the ecological stories that were told. Some of these humans have each done something about their environment.  They to now have a voice.

What a tune!

Meet Gordi.

Gordi's interests are t cooking, cleaning, singing and having friends pop in.

Gordi enjoys it when there are not people being critical of his missed keys and hits that open into another unknown song.  Pity Gordi is tone deaf.

As the people in the know say being tone deaf may have something to do with High Functions Autism disorder [Asbergers].  Having said that it explains a lot about Gordi's behaviour patterns as well as the problems with spelling, reading writing and just plain not hearing you as you speak!

Just helping

Attachment disorder.  Gordi thought he was only helping to clean out the draws.

Yes when everything else went in Gordi could not think where this would go.  So Gordi is keeping it until it is better!


Ever hear this story?

Hear us out

When people want to be heard they 'always' appear to be in a rush, to be yelling or make other load noises which attracts attention to themselves - for a second or two, then people go off somewhere away from the noise makers.


However Teddy Bears work in another way.  We wait til you are cool and calm.  Then, as you snuggle back into our arms, we whisper things quietly into your ears. You might not really want to hear these things about how to treat others, to respect the earth and your relatives and friends.  You may have wanted to blame others for something you started last week.  But Teddy Bears know.

Sometimes we even join in your activies just to make sure you have really hear what we have said.
