Paxton Ted’s House Trail

Paxton Ted is a little teddy bear who lives at Paxton House. He runs about the house, but when he hears you coming he runs and hides. As you walk around the house, see if you can find where Paxton Ted is hiding, but remember, he is a very good climber, so you will have to look up high.

Older Children can follow the ‘Paxton up close’ quiz sheet as they go around.
