This is a project about bears from all over the world. It starts with toys - teddy bears, books about them and conitnues with different actions on them - art, poems, games, receipes ... Through children's feelings about their toys and their imagination children explore a wonderful world of a teddy bear and go even further - to the nature and real bears that live there. The project ends with a research about bears which live in their countries. All the work is shared among the participants on their mutual blog, through Twinspace and other tools of ICT. And this way all the children can learn about experiences with toys and real animals from others, widen their perspective, knowledge ... and get to know how to be a part of a bigger team.
