March 30, 2020

The bears have been popping up all over the country during the coronavirus lockdown.

If you go for a walk around the block today, you may be in for a surprise.

Thousands of teddy bears are lining windowsills as part of an initiative to ease young children's minds amid the nationwide coronavirus lockdown.

The initiative has got the tick of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern at Premier House, and even farmers in our more rural communities are joining in.

A dedicated Facebook group, We Are Going on a Bear Hunt NZ , has garnered hundreds of posts every day.

Watch Laura Daniels' comical crack at the hunt in the video above.

The ‘We're not scared New Zealand Bear Hunt’ aims to give kids something to look forward to on their walks.
