GREENSBORO, N.C. — To help kids bear being at home without their friends during this coronavirus craziness, some Starmount neighbors started putting teddys in their front windows so children can walk around and go on a bear hunt.
“They have pretty powerful teeth and muscles," 6-year-old Tally said running up to two oversized bears on a front porch.
Neighbors started stuffing their front yards with the toys after seeing the idea on the Nextdoor app to ease the pain we’re all going through.
“It’s great to know that people are thinking of fun and humor and a way to spark our spirit right now," Dan Parks said. "This is a way to bring kids in, to spark their imagination. (To let them know)That this is not such an impossible time. That’s a lot of why we’re doing it.”
So far, about 20 homes have displays. Neighbors are hoping others will join in to spread more warm and fuzzy feelings.
“I would say, well thank you! I would like to see a bear," Tally said.
Right now the bears are mostly concentrated around the Starmount area. There's a Nextdoor app post that gives parents ideas where to take their kids to see the bears.
