Louise Hislop is urging people to put a teddy bear in their front yard.
The idea is that kids can spot the bears while walking around their suburbs with parents to ease the boredom of being stuck at home.
"I love the book, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, so I have placed an old, much loved teddy bear named Travis on my verandah post," said Louise, of Cooks Hill.
"I thought it would be something for young children to look out for when out walking. Call it bear spotting. If Mr Bear is precious, he could just be looking longingly out of a window, waiting to be spotted," she said.
"Please join me by putting out a bear. It's just a bit of fun for the kids in these trying times."
