September 9 – Care Bears Share Your Care Day

nPosted on September 9, 2018

n

n

nWaayy back in the 1980s, there were these toys called the Care Bears. 

n

nWell, of course, there have been several revivals of the Care Bears, relaunches of toys and of the the characters in TV shows. So maybe you’ve heard of them?

n

nBut when my daughters were little, the Care Bears were fresh and new and REALLY popular. With little kids, that is!

n

nThere were plush teddy-bear-sized Care Bears.

n

n

nThere were small plastic Care Bear action figures.

n

n

nThere were Care Bear board games and cards and stickers, and there were Care Bear lunch boxes and Care Bear backpacks and Care Bear sheets.

n

nThere were Care Bear story books, coloring books, paint-with-water books, and activity books, and there were Care Bear TV shows and greeting cards and eventually movies!

n

n

nThere was, basically, Care Bear EVERYTHING!!!

n

n

n

nToday isn’t the anniversary of the Care Bears 1982 launch – that was on September 24 – but is instead a Twitter party and charity event. It’s all about expressing our caring for others, being generous, contributing time and money to worthy causes – and sharing with others what caring activities we’re doing. It’s all about taking inspiration from others’ shared caring, and helping others take inspiration from ours!
