Youre going to love my story about Care Bears.
Its a typical kid story.
When I was younger I absolutely didnt love pink.
It wasnt a conscious choice by any means.
And so did my little brother, who was about 3 at the time.
Whatever big sister wanted, so did he.
Mom opened baby brothers for him, which ended up being Grumpy Bear (blue).
Colin (age 3) opened his, and there was Tenderheart (brown with a red heart).
I couldnt wait to get open mine.
Which would it be?
I shredded the paper so excited to reveal PINK.
I got Cheer Bear.
You shouldve seen the look on my face.
And my first thought?
How can I make the swap with my infant brother so I could have the blue one.
Would anyone notice if he ended up with a pink bear?
Could I tell them he was he that wanted mine?
Wait he cant talk.
So I didnt do it.
I kept the pink, and never said anything to my mom.
Almost 40 years later, here we are.
And I can buy a Care Bear ANY color I like!
Or I can make all the colors out of perler beads.
So thats what I did, with my niece (who had never heard of them before).
We made a bunch of patterns together.
There are several on my list, and theyre all free for you to try.
They love perler beads (also known as hama beads, fuse beads, or melty beads).
But dont be shy adults love them too!
