To hate take home Ted

[MadamMMA]

Arggh I DONT want him none of our printers work and apparently a hand drawn picture of DS and THT just won’t cut it

Here’s a tip for anyone who’s never had the Ted. When you get him for the first time (or any time that isn’t likely your last time, even) take a series of photographs of the bloody thing doing variants of the following:

• playing hide and seek
• playing cards
• reading a book
• drawing a picture
• sitting down for dinner
• watching a movie

And so on.... (your child does not need to be in any of these photos by the way). Then for ONE TIME ONLY print out a selection of different photos, stash them away and use a different one each time the Ted comes home with the guise of ‘we had such fun playing/doing x with Ted last night’ etc.... choose the picture in advance and then just make DC okay whatever game/activity is in the photo.

If you need more, then just get your DC to draw something that resembles absolutely anything at all.

play not okay

We had this with polly pig
We deffo did not leave her at the pub (coughs)
And we deffo had a healthy dinner (not a bowl of cereal)
She did have a bath tho-in the washer
I dreaded them asking my son if any of the crap I wrote was true!xxx

What was your Dad doing with the class badger 😂?

We’ve had the bear twice now. Once when dd has just got a newborn brother... THT watched Mummy lactate and cry.

Are there any teachers around who can explain what these take home toys are supposed to achieve?
As a TA I was never sure but I do know that we (inwardly) groaned and skimmed through incredibly lengthy diary entries.
Short and sweet with hand drawn pictures were welcomed.

I gave the class bear a DIY spa day and took pictures 😁

My Ds is in year 1, in his school even year 2 has a bloody THT 😭😭😭

CuckooSings that made me laugh!
