Sally celebrates Mr. Bear’s birthday with more original stories, rhymes and songs at the 2020 Ottawa Children’s Storytelling Festival for families with babies and young children.

Sally’s unique program supports early language play, healthy touch and bonding for parents and caregivers with babies from birth to 10 months. Rhymes and songs to play on baby’s hands, feet, tummy’s and even on their noses. A wide range of easy to learn and remember material, perfect to soothe or entertain your baby, day or night, at home or on the go.

Mr. Bear Says Hello was Sally’s first program for parents and caregivers with children 10 months – 2 years old, created in 1981.  Fingerplays, rhymes, songs and stories that children can learn to play and say.  Repetition is built in to allow the child to observe and absorb their growing vocabularies of words, concepts and actions. 

Sally and Erika invite you to share stories, rhymes and songs to celebrate Mr. Bear’s birthday with children 4 – 14 years old.  Some of the children in this video are graduates of our classes.
