A nice initiative to distract children in the Netherlands from the Coronavirus is the bear hunt. The idea for this hunt is very simple: people put a bear in front of the window and if you go around a block with your child(ren) you can look for the bears in the window sills in the neighbourhood. Next, you mark on the stripe card how many bears you have seen.

In this tutorial we explain how to make your own bear. The sewing pattern of the bear can be downloaded here. The fabric we used in the example is Nicky Velours Uni RS0003-222
