The Fort

Yesterday, a very large parcel arrived for Jane. Inside was a new printer, which the teddy bears didn't think was very interesting - but the box itself was big and brown and sturdy, and had loads of packing materials.

It was Crackers who noticed that the packing material looked like battlements (the up and down stonework you see at the tops of castles). And then he suggested that the bears could possibly turn the box into a fort which they could play with. What a brilliant idea!

So they set to and worked out what they each needed to do to make it happen. Scary and Teddy carefully cut out a big doorway.

Bubbles and Crackers worked out how to make a drawbridge which could be raised and lowered. They didn't have any chains to attach to it, but string worked just as well! Boo was in charge of gluing the battlements to the top of the box - he nearly managed to glue himself on to them as well! And Custard and Tommy made a beautiful sign with the Fort's name on it - Fort Teddy!!
