Teddy Bears' Picnic Workshop
Our Teddy Bears’ Picnic Workshop brings the beloved theme of picnics and teddy companions to life through music, movement, storytelling and creative play. Children are invited to explore rhythm, song and sound while engaging with the familiar story of a Teddy Bears’ picnic, encouraging imagination, cooperation and joyful participation.
Using a blend of live music, simple percussion and interactive vocal activities, the workshop encourages learners to respond physically and verbally to musical cues, developing confidence and a love of shared musical experience.
