My youngest son, Wills, had a teddy bear named Harry; they were inseparable (maybe they still are). When he was very small, we travelled between England and France on a regular basis, and of course Harry was always an essential member of the party.
Quite naturally, we all had our own passports, so of course Harry needed one too. We briefly considered applying to The Passport Office, but Wills (being Wills) thought he'd just make one for Harry himself.
It's a full size faithful replica, and would probably fool most passport officers. If I lost MY passport, I would be quite upset; if I ever lost Harry's, I would be devastated!!
You can see by the state of it, that it's been very well used. It's also one of the old type passports... so much classier than the new burgundy jobs.

Wonderful.
What a creative child.
It certainly is.
This was the second one he made, the first was much smaller.
A family heirloom. Such a super idea, did it ever get presented at customs?

No, I don't think so. Wills took it along just in case Harry was stopped!
How old was Wills at the time he made that wonderful passport?
Possibly about 8; I'm really not sure.
My bear Mr M.T.Bear used to come on hols with us had his own small Passport. It has lots of stamps in it from the nice people at Calais, Dunkerque, Boulogne and Cheriton.
I regret that it was not so nice a document as Harry's.
I suppose that post Brexit it will have to come our of semi-retirement.
If we can find Harry; I don't know where he's hiding. Possibly in a loft somewhere.
A great thing to have. I remember R's old British passport. It was of substance.
Did you give Harry a bit of a hand in the making? It is a proper artwork.
Quite obviously, the artistic gene was passed down! I love that - a wonderful keepsake. -Jenn
That's fantastic. What a wonderful keepsake. xx
Priceless. How wonderful that you still have this.
Entirely his own work, apart from Harry's photo.
They were so much nicer than the burgundy European passports.
I wonder what will happen to it in years to come. I hope Wills will look after it.
A nice fun thing to keep.
It's been tucked away in an old tin box with a load of other things I refuse to throw out.
I like the lions.
That's the best bit.
One of the Lions is supposed to be a Unicorn.
Thank you; it was a faithful likeness.
Cute. He must have inherited his Papa's creative talents.
Wills did a fantastic job ....... so realistic ... he has wonderful observation. Children are often so good at art when very young and then lose it as they get older. They don't seem to think too hard about it when young but we all seem to get a bit more intense about it all as we age. I have a drawing of one of our fireplaces that our daughter did when she was very young and its brilliant ! I'll have to try and find it and put it on my blog. XXXX
Not sure about that, but when he was young he was always busy. Always creating something or other.
Wills did a few sculptures that I still have, then he became more interested in technology, and it all changed.
Sheer delight Cro - don;t ever lose it. It must be one of your most treasured possessions.
That is so sweet!
It is Weave; I look at it often.
He's about 40 now, and still surprising me.
