Since 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends have endured as the unforgettable creations of A.A. Milne, who wrote these stories for his son, Christopher Robin, and Ernest H. Shepard, who lovingly gave Pooh and his companions shape.
Millions of readers throughout the world have grown up with the stories and verses of A. A. Milne; have envied Christopher Robin in his enchanted world; laughed at Pooh—a bear of very little brain—and worried about Piglet and his problems. But what was it like to be the small boy with the long hair, smock and wellington boots? At the age of 54 Christopher Milne recalled his early childhood, remembering 'the enchanted places' where he used to play in Sussex. The Hundred Acre Wood, Galleon's Lap and Poohsticks Bridge existed not only in the stories and poems but were part of the real world surrounding the Milne home at Cotchford Farm. With deftness and artistry Milne draws a
memorable portrait of his father, and an evocative reconstruction of a happy childhood in London and Sussex. It is a story told with humor and modesty.

How to Make a Winnie the Pooh Craft
You will need:
- Empty mason jar
- Yellow craft paint
- Red craft paint
- Tan/brown craft paint
- Paint pens
- Paint brushes
The first thing you want to do is wash your jars inside and out with hot soapy water.
Once dry, wipe down the outside with alcohol to remove any grease or residue that may be left. This will help your paint adhere to the outside of the jar much better.
Paint your honey pot, right up to the threads of the jar and allow it to dry.
While you’re waiting for that to dry, take the other jar and paint the entire outside.
Paint it the yellow shade that you have chosen for your Winnie the Pooh.
Allow it to dry completely.
You will probably need at least 2 coats of paint to get a solid covering.
After your base layer is dried use a paint pen or fine-tipped paint brush to write “hunny”.
I did this after the next step.
And almost didn’t leave myself room for it so I recommend doing this first.
Go around the top of the “honey pot” just under the rim.
Drip paint all the way around to look like honey.
Start with a little and more as it will drip quite a bit.
You will not want to add as much right over your hunny writing so that it doesn’t cover it up.
Now on your Winnie the Pooh Jar paint a half inch or so of red around the bottom.
This represents his well-known red shirt.
Take the black paint pen and draw on his eyebrow.
Also, add eyes, nose, and squiggly mouth to give him his classic looks.
Once everything has dried completely you can replace the lid.
Too, you can leave the lid off and use it to store markers or paint brushes.
