A Bear Called Paddington Book Study

Step into the marmalade-sweet world of A Bear Called Paddington with this charming book study! Inspired by the Florilegium tradition—a “gathering of flowers” from favourite texts—your child will collect quotes, reflections, and creative responses as they follow Paddington from Darkest Peru to bustling London.

Enrichment Topics Include:

• Peru and Paddington’s roots

• London life and landmarks

• Spectacled bears

• Oranges & marmalade (of course!)

Along the way, children will:

• Create a Florilegium notebook filled with words, drawings, and discoveries.

• Explore kindness, curiosity, and belonging through gentle discussion and narration.

• Dive into hands-on fun—paint with watercolours, map London, or bake Paddington’s beloved marmalade cake.

• Discover how literature connects to history, geography, nature, and art in delightful ways.

Extra Details:

• Flexible 2- or 4-week schedule included.

• Handwriting practice with Paddington-inspired passages (US cursive & UK joined-up).

• Families may print for personal use; co-op license available for groups.

• DIGITAL PRODUCT—files ready to download right after checkout.

By the end, your child will have a keepsake Florilegium that captures Paddington’s humour, heart, and just a little bit of marmalade magic.
