Funny Business Looks At Passports For Teddy
The second installment of Funny Business is Teddy Bear Passports.
Catherine Lougheed from Douglas in Co Cork set up Teddy Bear passports after a long career in publishing.
It may not seem like a great idea at first but if you’ve ever struggled to get a toddler through airport check in it will all soon make perfect sense.
Catherine believes that every teddy has a right to be cuddled on a regular basis. The right to be tucked in and read a story to every night. The right to be loved all the more when one of our ears is missing and our nose has been chewed off by Rover. And, of course, the right to travel freely. A universal right, I believe it’s called – so, I ask you, why should teddies be discriminated against by not having our very own document of identification?
But with a Teddy passport, not only can we travel freely – for example, to the woods today if the mood takes us – but that often daunting trip through the airport will become an adventure in itself for your little one and his or her favourite furry friend.
And, of course, with Teddy's very own passport, I fully expect that the children will have even more fun taking off on lots of imaginary journeys when we get home
