My Nephew Needs Your Help!

Posted By on February 4, 2010

You all know my nephew Noah, right? He’s this adorable little chap.

Anyway, Noah has a project at school right now where he has a travelling bear (also named Noah) and he needs to have his bear go all over the world. He’s been in Chicago to a Bulls game, he’s been to Mexico, he’s been to Atlanta, but he has so many more wonderful places that he needs to go visit.

And that is where you all come in.

Would you be willing to print out this adorable bear and take a photo of him in your city or town? Or have him do fun things like attend events? Anything to enlighten his boring, bear life?

You can even write a little story of his adventures while he was visiting with you and then mail them to Noah the person so he can show his classmates how awesome of an Auntie he has, and all the exciting places Noah the Bear got to go!

And, Noah would really like Noah the Bear to go to China, so if anyone knows anyone in China, let me know.

If you would be interested in participating, either leave a comment or send me an email at fullofsnark (at) gmail (dot) com and I can email you a photo of Noah the Bear to print out with the instructions.

The Noahs and I would be super grateful to all of you that are willing to help. All people who participate will be entered into a drawing for a $10 Amazon gift card. And I’d be more than willing to repay the favor if your kids ever have this project. I mean, what kid doesn’t want a photo of his bear with a drunk lady, a cat and an empty bottle of wine?

Thanks for all your help!

    Sure, I can do that. 🙂 How about I see what I can do about getting a photo of him with something Olympic-related?

    And I don’t need the gift card, being Canadian and all. If I win, donate it to a school or something.

  2. The Tutugirl says:

    Noah the Bear is definitely welcome to attend a law school class or ten in Nashvegas. I’d even be willing to take him out for a beer or two.

  3. Denora says:

    I’m in! Think Noah the Bear would like to join us at the hockey game this weekend? Is there anything in the Southern California region that Noah the person would like Noah the Bear to go visit? I have lots of free time to take him around!

  4. Kerry says:

    I’m in! Just makes me wish I still lived near London so I could get some pictures that were more impressive, but I can manage the North of England at least!

  5. Noelle says:

    I wasn’t going to enter because I have no use for an Amazon card, but I would hate for the bear to miss an opportunity to see the walkway over the Hudson, so I’m in!

  6. Schwerer says:

    Does Noah the Bear want to go to Vegas with me? Cuz I would be happy to have a travelling companion!

  7. Mahnee says:

    I’m in….even if I just take Noah the Bear to the Art Institute. I’ve heard about this project…when does Noah the Grandson need the pictures?

  8. I’m happy to have Noah the Bear visit the University of Virginia and Monticello. Depending on when the project is due, Noah the Bear can also go to Washington, DC with me to see the Terra Cotta Warriors at the National Geographic museum.

  9. I’ll totally help out. What the cute!

  10. Jen says:

    Yes, I will help! Noah the bear would love Toronto! My middle sis lives in Hong Kong so I’ll ask her if she’s interested in helping as well! I’m with Nicole – I’m Canadian so don’t need the gift card.

  11. Angella says:

    Aw, Noah needs to come to Canada! I mean, Nicole’s Canadian too, but we’re in different parts of the province.

    Send him to me!

    Since Noah the Bear has already been to Atlanta, I’d be happy to take him to Salt Lake City and Park City with me when I go in 2 weeks! He can even get his own skis!!

  13. tmc says:

    Does Indianapolis count? I’ll be happy to play along. : )

    I know some folks elsewhere (Scotland, Singapore, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands). I’ll pass this on to them and see if they might play.

  14. Missy says:

    Happy to help out! Noah the bear can totally come visit me in NY and have his picture taken. I may even have a Shanghai contact for you.

  15. kim says:

    Sure, I’m game. I live in Germany and I’ll be traveling to New Zealand in a couple of weeks. Set me up 🙂 (BTW, TMC sent me.)

  16. mouncie123 says:

    I don’t live anywhere fantastic. In fact I live only a few miles from Noah the real boy ; )
    It’s a great project did it with my two older ones and it’s awesome to see where he travels. Have fun with it!

  17. LazyBuddhist says:

    Maybe Noah would like to see the Golden Gate Bridge?

    Also, I have a blog buddy in China, I’ll forward this link to. He’s a photographer and teacher, so he may want to play along too.

  19. Dawn says:

    I live in the most boring town in the world but Noah the bear is welcome to come for a visit. Plus it seems like this bear will be visiting Canada anyways, so he shoud make a stop in Manitoba.

  20. Erin aka EOB says:

    Noah will definitely be photographed in NYC this weekend!

  21. Ree says:

    Count me in. I’ll even make sure he gets to a U of M Hockey game if he can wait until the end of the month.

  22. Jennie says:

    Hey! I do know a few peeps in China, actually. Can you send me a .pdf of Noah’s bear???

  23. Jen says:

    How about Boston? I’d be willing to have him come here.

  24. Jessica says:

    Noah the Bear can totes mcgoats come to school with me and spend a day in the life of a teacher in Roselle!! I dont know if that is fancy enough but count me in if you want!

  25. Kerri Anne says:

    DUDE, had I known about Noah the bear last week when I was in! China he would have had his picture taken on The Great Wall! But South Korea is pretty awesome, too. Game ON. 🙂

  26. I can show him around Portland or, potentially (if I can get my husband off the couch), the Oregon coast.

    I can definitely take him to Klickitat Street and to the park with the all of the statues of Beverly Cleary’s characters (I think it’s Grant park but can’t remember off the top of my head). That might be fun for his class if they are of the age when reading (or listening to) Beverly Cleary’s books is fun!

    I’m leaving for Singapore next Saturday for a week. Will that be too late? I would love to “take” him there! Let me know

  28. Jenn says:

    I can’t believe you already have somebody from Germany! I was thinking Heidelberg castle or old town bridge, so if that’s not redundant from your other German offer, send Noah over and we’ll take him out on the town!

    I live in Italy. I would be glad to have the ol’ bear hang with me for a bit.

  30. Raven says:

    When is it due in? I am going to Az in two weeks and I can take the bear to Sedona!

  31. Pam says:

    maybe I was reading too quickly. but what’s your time frame? I’m happy to help – I work a block from the white house so he can “visit” the president… and if the frigging snow melts, I am going to Cancun on Thursday so the bear can hang by the pool in Mexico (which is not China, but still….)

  32. Rhi says:

    Would Noah the Bear like to go to Eastern Oregon?

  33. Heather B. says:

    Noah shall come visit Senator Gillibrand next week. Here’s hoping the weather cooperates.

  34. Kirsten says:

    Email me! Noah the bear can come roam the wonders of Juneau AK with me 😉

  35. pgoodness says:

    I’d be happy to show him a small portion of Michigan!
    .-= pgoodness´s last blog ..more =-.

  36. Connie says:

    I am going to the final performance at the Fort Worth Stock Show tomorrow. I can take Noah with me!

  37. Karen says:

    How about in front of Graceland? I can rock that one.

  38. I didn’t read every one of the comments above, but it Noah would enjoy a trip to the Gateway city and see the St Louis Arch, I’d be more than happy to provide that.

  39. Stacey says:

    When is this project due? I’m going to Hawaii, but not until the beginning of April.

  41. I just live in Central Illinois, but we don’t live too far from Arthur, which is a large Amish community. I can try to get a picture of Noah Bear by a horse and buggy, if you think your nephew would like that. 🙂

  42. Angela says:

    I’d be happy to have Noah the Bear visit me in Houston… and as far as China, you could try contacting Ellen, who writes the following blog about living as an expat in Nanjing, China with her husband and kids… http://blithetraveler.typepad.com/the_blithe_traveler/

  43. Jennie says:

    I would be delighted. We could even pretend the Noah the Bear is lost, that’s why he’s in Texas. No one comes here unless they’re lost. Or on business. Maybe Noah the Bear is a business bear? Seriously, I’d love to. Send a picture my way!
