Bandana Bear

-Bandana Bear is the perfect size for cuddling, and their floppy nature allows them to fit perfectly into any backpack or bag. They love nestling in arms and laps!

-Organic cotton, herbal dyed, natural stuffing, and hand sewn and stuffed, each unique bear has been made with love by humans in underserved communities by Bears for Humanity.

-Bandana Bear’s 100% cotton bandana was made and tied by my friend Jessica. It’s the perfect size for them and other dolls, and retying it is a great exercise for fingers and creativity.

Game

-Based on actual adventures we’ve had at Outside School, the Bandana Bear Game incorporates action, mindfulness, and more! Game board is a 100% cotton bandana that’s been designed and printed by my husband, Strephon.

-100% cotton game piece bag.

-Six game pieces by Safari Ltd®. Every set includes one miniature Bandana Bear (sporting a very tiny bandana also created by my friend, Jessica), with other animals that can be found in the East Bay, representing multiple niches.
