This little Worry Bear has a 3’’ (8cm) tummy pocket. Write your worry on a piece of paper and give it to the worry bear to eat.
Although small, the bear’s tummy pocket will hold several worries.

Children will often find it difficult to talk to a parent or teacher about their worries but will happily write a note or draw a picture to describe the worry which they can then feed to their Worry Bear. Once the bear has ‘eaten’ the worry it can often fade. If not, then the parent or teacher can access the note when the child isn’t around and discover what the worry is.

SIZE - When sitting, the Worry Bear measure 25cm (10in) to the top of his ears.
