Life can be a Bear

Do you remember the story of The Three Bears? Well I'm sure you do, especially if you have children or grandchildren. It's story of a sweet little girl named Goldilocks whose trip through the forest brings her to a house where a family of three pleasant bears live. While the bears are away sweet little Goldilocks helps herself to the bears porridge, finds a bed and falls asleep. Upon return of the bears to their house, they discover Goldilocks asleep, she awakens and runs away never to be seen again.

But did you know that the original story recorded in narrative form by English author and poet Robert Southey tells the story in an entirely different way? It was a story of an angry old woman who invades the bears house and when the bears discover her, they take her captive and brutally retaliate. Definitely not a story for children.

However, children can enjoy hours of endless fun with the Three Bears Puzzle. This educational toy brings to life the story of The Three Bears. Children can dress up and change the clothes and color combination for these dress up bears. Different faces, clothing, and shoes create endless possibilities for imaginative play! Sorry, porridge not included.
