Introducing the Pumpkin Patch Bears

Introducing the Pumpkin Patch Bears


The first Pumpkin Patch Teddy Bear that I brought was in May 2010 and it was a honey Oscar bear.   When I brought it at the shop there was a grey bear called Ted Bear wearing a red top and a pink rabbit the same size. I  brought a Ted Bear at the same time.


                    
Oscars home was in the bedroom sitting on a shelf opposite a window that overlooked the street. One morning while he was looking out the window watching the cars go by he saw the Postman arrive on his push bike and put  a plastic post bag in the letter box. Oscar could see the bag moving  in the letter box.


He watched the moving parcel for about five minutes and then he couldn't resist any more.  He jumped down off the shelf onto the window ledge by the open window and attached a rope to the window catch. He crawled out the window and slid down the rope to the ground. He ran to the letter box.

 

When he reached the letter box he could hear grunts and huffs coming from the post bag.
“Hello,” Oscar called out, “Who’s in the post bag?”
“I’m a teddy bear,” was the reply, “Can you let me out of here?”



“Yes,” said Oscar, and he reached for the post bag, which was heavy for him, and rolled it on the ground to a grassy place where he started to undo the sticking tape. With a big heave a teddy bear head and arms popped out! “Oh, thank you."said the bear, "My name is Riverton. I don’t think I would have survived much longer in the bag.”  Oscar gave him a welcome bear hug when Riverton got himself completely out of the post bag. “Welcome to Kowhai Corner, my name is Oscar, come inside to meet the other three other bears.”
Riverton followed Oscar and they both climbed the rope and crawled through the window.  Oscar introduced Riverton to Ted, May and Patch. May suggested they have a picnic on the floor and have a chat.


 May went and got a rug off the shelf to sit on and Patch went and got the food.


 They talked about all sorts of things and then Ted asked, “Why haven’t you got any clothes on?”
Oscar replied that he didn’t know where their clothes were.
“Well, let’s have a look in the other bedroom,” answered May.





They went into the other bedroom and saw some striped singlet's on top of a set of drawers. They all put one on, including Ted. They didn’t see the knitting pattern which was underneath the pile, Fish’n’Chips Singlet, for new born babies in Africa, China and Russia. The next day the bears had to take  the singlets off  so they could be posted to the new born babies in Africa, China or Russia.



A week later Tom and Oscar had their own Fish’n’Chips singlet!

  1. Hi, my son has a Ted Bear from Pumpkin patch but after 12 years of constant love, he is basically a threadbare grey rag. You can no longer buy them. Do you still have your Ted and would you consider selling him to a very loving home in Ireland?!

    1. Hi, If you leave me your email address (I will not publish) I can contact you if I find another Ted Bear. I did not know they were for sale in Ireland. They are not for sale in New Zealand now.

  2. I've had mine for 7 years and I love it to pieces. One of my cousins got it for me. If you wanna know a way to make the bear have more fluff in them, you can try restuffing them yourself. My nan used to do that for me when I was younger.
