Decorating

The teddy bears decided that they wanted to re-decorate their bedroom, and everyone wanted to help. They promised to be good!

The first job was to remove all the furniture out of the room. This was very hard work for little bears and they needed lots of breaks to recover. Then they laid down a covering over the carpet so that it wouldn't get damaged by all the work they were about to do.

Then they had to wipe down all the old wallpaper with a wet sponge which would let water soak into the paper and make it easier to remove. They all enjoyed this job, though it did lead to a few "sponge fights!"

Next job was to scrape all the old wallpaper off the walls, and Scary and Boo decided to help with that. Scary's job was to scrape off the paper using what looked like a spatula. He was the only one who could reach quite high and was allowed to climb the stepladder, so he went round all the walls from half-way up to ceiling height! And the other bears tried to help by scraping the lower walls. It was a more tiring job than it looked. There were lots of rests for cups of tea!
