This easy to make pocket bear was sparked by a group I joined in January that focused on expanding your outdoor time as a family. It is a group of people, all over the world, who recognize the value of outdoor time and support each other with ideas and inspiration for activities to do as adults and with children. Although this is something we always strive to include in our lives, it is nice to see this movement growing and see some of the things other families are doing to participate. As part of that, the idea of Adventure Bear came along. It is a small, hand-stitched, personalized felt bear that fits in your child's pocket that they can take on adventures wherever they go. I found it to be an amazing idea for those kids who sometimes have a hard time spending expended periods of time outdoors. This bear can help by giving them a partner in crime and make them accountable for ensuring that their bear has a fantastic time. Dylan loved hers so much that we made one for Carver and Bridger and sent them in the mail for Valentines Day! Below is the pattern for creating the bear as well as the Facebook movement if you would like to join:
