BEHIND THE SCENES!
From the life of our stuffed animals in the times of COVID-19
How our crochet animals deal with the new rules of conduct
Mit der Ausbreitung des Coronavirus in Deutschland hat die Bundesregierung eine Reihe von Verhaltensregeln und Maßnahmen beschlossen. Dabei sollen insbesondere soziale Kontakte auf ein Minimum reduziert werden. Schwierige Zeiten, in denen man aufpassen muss, dass einem nicht die Decke auf den Kopf fällt.
Schwierige Zeiten aber nicht nur für Angehörige der Gattung Homo Sapiens, sondern auch für unsere lieben Stofftiere. Auch deren Alltag hat sich seit dem Beschluss der neuen Verhaltensregeln und spätestens mit der Verordnung des Social Distancing tiefgreifend geändert. In diesem Blogbeitrag möchten wir euch einmal einen Blick hinter die Kulissen gewähren, wie sich das Zusammenleben bei Sindibaba in Zeiten von COVID-19 derzeit gestaltet.
The parents
No change in health behavior among couples is required. Thus for life partners like our two monkey parents CHARLIE and LUCY nothing changes at home for the time being. They can continue to live together without protective face masks.


The Grandfather
Visits at grandpa CHARLIE Sr. however are no longer allowed until further notice. The whole family suffers from this, especially the grandfather, who has been home alone for almost two weeks now. And above all because he no longer sees his two grandchildren LUCY Junior and CHARLIE Junior. Although this is very bitter for everyone at the moment, in the long run it will help grandfather’s health.
Therefore, from time to time, daddy CHARLIE and mummy LUCY visit him to check on him and keep him company
The Children
Younger children are less at risk of COVID-19, but can easily spread it among adults due to their high degree of activity. Thus CHARLIE Jr. and LUCETTE only play with the ball at home in the garden since the city council has closed the public playgrounds and schools. They are no longer allowed on the streets or in the shops to protect the adults. But weekend walks in the forest are still allowed – but only if accompanied by your dad or mum.

As you can see, our stuffed animals have also internalised the new recommendations for behaviour and hope to make their small contribution to ensure that this pandemic passes us by as quickly as possible.
