You may have seen the phenomenon of neighborhood “bear hunts” going on. This neighborhood activity, which sees homeowners place teddy bears and other stuffed animals in windows for children to find, was a response to physical and social distancing initiatives and mandates. This forced many people to adapt to a new, slow life, finding ways to connect with their communities and uplift spirits in creative ways.
One homeowner in the U.K. has been having a lot of fun with the “bear hunt” trend, bringing tons of joy to everyone, big and small, in their neighborhood.
