entire story and pictures. Using crayons color the pages just like you were a kid again, when colored place a paper towel on the page and iron, the heat pulls away the wax, leaving the colors. I just incorporated all of the coloring pages into a quilt for my sister's granddaughter. Not only did she receive the quilt but the story as well in a binder. I will try and put up a photo of the quilt.

What a great idea! Be sure & post it! I grew up in the 50's, but didn't know the bear or dragon. HOWEVER every Christmas season I'd race home to listen to "The Teddy Bear Picnic" on the radio! Everytime I hear that song (which is rare these days) it brings back sweet memories. Hope the quilt will do the same for your granddaughter, as I know it did for you!

Memories!! I grew up in Portland, Oregon and I would rush home from school so I wouldn't miss an episode of the Cinnamon Bear. I still remember so much of it. Thank you for bringing this back to us. My sister who is 9 yrs younger said she remembers all of it as well. What will our grandkids remember?
