Name/TitleLion soft toy displayed during the pandemic, Sandringham
About this objectDuring 2020, many households started to display bears or other soft toys, some in windows and others outside. These were part of the mass worldwide teddy bear hunt to help entertain and distract children. They provided an excitement and distraction to children when walking around Bayside streets. The idea is believed to have been inspired by the book ‘Going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen.
This lion was displayed on the front fence of a property in Abbott Street, Sandringham.
