We are a family that likes to talk and as I am a working mum I am obsessive about making sure I know what the kids have been up to and making sure that I still feel part of their day and reassuring them, that I am still involved and interested in what they have done. bear Richard Copley Dunn "Sent with Love from Richard,Lindsey James and Dylan...Be thankful for what you have x" We started working with our Jofli’s about 3 years ago and had come across then purely by accident at a trade show. The children have to apply to take a JOFLI home and sign a contract to take care of him and do lots of interesting things with him. Although we only started with 1 or 2 soon we had 5 because the children were so keen on this lovely bear that we had to get 1 for each class he was so popular.

Since then Jofli has become a regular part if our life – he comes most places with us, even to the shops, and we try to fill in as much information about our days spent into the little journal provided. bear "With much love to all the children at Bluebell Wood from Susan atLifechangeTherapy." www.lifechange-therapy.co.uk The post even found its way to Suzi O’Neill the creator of Jofli Bear.“I think it’s great to see children and parents having fun together,” says the entrepreneur from Sheffield. “Some parents see the task of having the class bear for the night as a chore, but the purpose of the take-home-ted is to help improve links between home and school and to encourage parents to interact in their child’s education. bear "In honour of Estella with love from @alifloob and family xxxxxxx" Estelle passed away 13/11/11 aged 8 months from SMAbearsPatricia Barber "With love from the Barber family xxx From my fourwonderful sons tofour wonderful children xxx Huge hugs :)" Jofli is a versatile educational resource, helping children to explore their world with spoken, written and drawn communications, essential to the EYFS and KS1 curriculum. He is used in many early years, primary school and childminder settings, engaging children in their learning and the stories of their own lives, so important to their self-development. bear Russell Danzey Racing "I'll try and collect more sponsors at myrace at Donnington Park 24th April" www.russelldanzey.com
