You’re invited to our first ever
Teddy Bear Clinic!

We want to show kiddos that everyday life experiences, like going to the doctor and dentist, getting a haircut, and the first day of school can be FUN, not scary, experiences!

We are so lucky to have a plethora of amazing pediatric and family providers right here within our community, many of them being small business owners just like us! Knowing our broad TPW community, our customers, looking for the best and most trustworthy resources for their babes - we wanted to bring the two together!

Introducing: the first ever TPW Teddy Bear Clinic! Kids are invited to bring their most favorite stuffed animal, lovey, or doll into our “clinic” - right above the TPW shop! Each ‘patient’ will visit every table, where a local provider will be waiting to meet them! Patients (the teddy bear/doll) will get a check-up, learn about healthy habits, visit the dentist, participate in fun activities and exercises, get their fur or hair styled, collect fun freebies along the way, plus more.

Parents will have the opportunity to follow along, meeting new providers and learning about resources you may have never realized were available to you right here in our community! Providers will be available to answer any questions you may have.

We have done our absolute best to include as many local providers and businesses in this first event as possible - everyone involved are resources we personally have used, or would trust with our own babes. We invite you and your little one (and their little one!) to join us for a fun, and educational, Teddy Bear Clinic!

Reserve your spot today!

Our very first Teddy Bear Clinic will be a ticketed event to help both us and the providers create the best experience possible for you + your babes! Our goal is to allow every kiddo an opportunity to visit with each provider, have time for fun interactions, and walk away with a better understanding of those sometimes scary visits to the doctor, dentist, or even getting that first haircut!

We’ve created four separate time slots to ensure our Clinic runs smoothly for all. Limited tickets are available in each time slot to assure that everyone gets all their goodies!

*Please note - every child participating/bringing a stuffy to the event needs to have a ticket. If siblings are attending but not participating, that’s totally fine, but the goody bags and activities will be for the ticketed attendees only. If purchasing multiple tickets, you do have to checkout multiple times - there is not a way to adjust the ticket quantity in one transaction - we’re so sorry for any inconvenience!

We are working hard to curate super fun goody bags for all of our attendees - items your kiddos will snag immediately, and also a handful of REALLY great coupons you will want to grab! We’ve partnered with our favorite local businesses and our TPW shop neighbors to offer free treats (THANK YOU, Frydae + West End!), exclusive discounts, and more.
