These cheery cookie cubs, served at my teddy bear picnic, will delight "kids" of all ages! I like to make fun foods but don't care to spend a whole  lot of time fussing. So the idea of using candy for the bears' features was right up my alley.

Teddy Carrot Bars

I was sure to point out to the mother-to-be and shower guests that these
yummy bars include two jars of baby food! Decorating them with purchased
Teddy Grahams takes very little time and conveniently carries out the theme.

Teddy Bear Rolls

My mom used this recipe when I was a little girl, and I've shared the tradition with my own daughters. They like to help shape the chubby little bears. Served with honey butter, these rolls are "bear-y" special.

Sandwich Bear

I created this fun sandwich for a picnic style meal at a teddy bear theme baby shower. The cheerful, chubby bear is formed using a round bread and rolls filled with meats, cheese and a seasoned spread. When the guest of honor mentioned plans for a teddy theme in her nursery, I latched onto the idea for the gathering.
