and a rainbow perhaps
should i take my teddy down from the window?
ds said it looks creepy

No, nor a rainbow or anything else.

Why have you got a teddy in the window?

We did a rainbow as part of a school project thing. It came down when they returned to school in July 2020 (reception so a returning year group)

We had a rainbow in lockdown 1 but took it down last summer. The moment has passed.

No?

Teddies seem to be gone from our area, but we loved it when they were up

Around my area there are still some lingering, faded rainbows around, but all of the teddy bears are gone. They went by Sept 2020 I think.

Not something anyone did around here.

We used window paint pens to draw a rainbow on the window, cleaned it off at the end of the first lockdown. We drew a halloween and Christmas scene during the relavent seasons , mostly just because we had the pens and we were isolating and something to entertain DD with and to kill sometime.

I took them down about 6 months ago.

There's a couple of sad looking knitted bears with facemasks on in the window of a house near me, it does look a bit creepy...

Yes, but only because we have moved and the teddies we're put out in the new house. There's still a few around

the teddy was in the window for the children to look at during lockdown

We did draw a rainbow directly onto the window for the first lockdown, but cleared it in July. Lots of houses round here still have children’s pictures of rainbows up, but haven’t noticed any teddies!
I wonder if in years to come these details will be mentioned in the history section of the internet, or if they will be forgotten like the road markings for the cycling in 2012?

We had a rainbow and a Happy Christmas picture up for most of 2020/21. I thought I should probably take the Happy Christmas picture down in July when we had a window surveyor visit. The ageing rainbow lives on.

No teddy. Did I miss something?

Our Rainbow was made of lego, it didn't last long till she wanted the blocks back to build something else.

Everyone had a rainbow around here including us, it was just a fun thing for DC to do during the first lockdown. Took it down July/August last year.

Some people still have the wooden rainbow hearts like this one, DC’s school has one too.

We had a Teddy and a rainbow. The Teddy didn't last long though. The rainbow faded and eventually got replaced by Halloween and then Christmas pictures.

I remember walking round town in the first lockdown pointing out teddies and rainbows to 2 yr old DD.

I crocheted a rainbow to hang in my window and it's still there.

Not had that round here. What were the teddies for?

Yes, put a rainbow up in lockdown 1 when many people were and feelings were rather different. Like a pp I took it down that summer (2020) - I agree the moment had passed.

The teddies and rainbows were for children to spot on their daily walks. Lots of people did it around here and you could hear small children being excited when they spotted one. I think in some areas they did a different theme each week, Easter eggs at Easter etc. It kept the children of the house busy and entertained those walking past. Obviously unnecessary now but in the middle of the main lockdown was a nice thing to do.

I didn’t do either but there’s a house down the road with a Victorian doll in an upstairs window, surveying the street with its cold, dead, murderous eyes.

Took it down this week - it was in the guest room and we just had our first guest!

Nope I didn’t do either of them.
