Your Favourites Are Back! Welcome to Gummy Bear Stories Revisited!

We heard from so many families who were sad to see Gummy Bear Stories come to an end — so we’re bringing back some of our favourites! Join Enza online on selected Sundays from 10:30–11:15 a.m. as she revisits these wonderful stories with you and your family. For added fun: Be sure to have some paper and something to colour with nearby so you can draw along with the Gummy Bear story!

REGISTER HERE

This fall, join us online for Gummy Bear Stories Revisited, featuring five stories families have enjoyed with us before. And there’s more! Our original Gummy Bear family resources are still available online, so families can continue the fun with activities, ideas and resources connected to each story:

OCT 18 – I Am Not a Dog Toy
OCT 25 – The Most Magnificent Thing
NOV 15 – Hedgehog Needs a Hug
NOV 29 – In My Heart
DEC 6 – Memoirs of a Goldfish

Sometimes the best stories are worth reading again!
