Bandana Bear in the News!

Hi There,

OMG the absolute SWEETEST article came out about Bandana Bear! Check out "Grin and Bear It: Outside School Closes, but Options Remain," by Janis Hashe for East Bay Magazine!

I hope you'll consider my Bandana Bear limited edition set or calendar for holiday gift giving.  

"BANDANA BEAR Heather Taylor developed a series of educational activities for families involving a stuffed animal made by people in underserved communities, a book and calendar."

Did you know that California now has an official State Snake?!?!

Hazelle, a teacher and long term supporter of mine, has a great interview about taking her classroom out regularly to a local creek here:
