Feed your teddy bear

In the My Virtual Teddy Bear game, you can feed your teddy bear. First, go to its kitchen and offer it some food. Its color and weight will change according to the food you give it.

You can feed your teddy bear once a day or several times if you choose. It will change gradually as you feed it. Your teddy bear is hungry. It is waiting for you to prepare new meals!

Find out how the refrigerator and pantry work

To feed your teddy bear, click on the refrigerator or pantry. Their contents will appear on the left-hand side of your screen. Click on the food of your choice and drag it to your teddy bear. Then click it again and he will eat it. You can feed your teddy bear as many times as you want.

If you click on the wrong food by mistake, just click on it again without moving it to your teddy bear. It will return to the refrigerator or pantry.

To close the refrigerator or pantry, click on “Close” above the list of foods.

Learn about the basic food groups

When you open the refrigerator or pantry, a portion guide will appear to the right of your teddy bear. The food groups are represented with a number under each group. This is the number of servings from this food group that your teddy bear has eaten so far today. Pay attention to those pictures when you feed your teddy bear. Each time you drag a food item to it, the corresponding food group will start to flash:

• If it flashes green, your teddy bear can eat the food without going over the maximum daily number of recommended servings.
• If it flashes red, your teddy bear has already had the maximum number for that day. You may decide to give your teddy bear the food item despite the warning, but this will affect the color of its fur.

Any time you want, you can click on a food group to know about its name and the recommended number of servings for each day.

Change your teddy bear's color

Your teddy bear’s color will change depending on its diet. The teddy bear has three color zones. They change each time you feed it: The first is located at the end of its paws and nose. The second zone is your teddy bear's belly. The third zone is the teddy bear's fur.

To make your teddy bear more colorful, you must feed it a healthy diet. Pay close attention to how much food you give it from each of the four food groups. By staying within the recommended number of servings, you can ensure your teddy bear has beautiful colors.

If you don’t feed your teddy bear a balanced diet, it will be unhealthy and its fur will turn gray. To fix the problem, there is only one solution: feed it healthy food!

Watch your teddy bear's size

Your teddy bear’s size will vary depending on the amount of food it eats. Its appearance will change instantly once it has been fed.

Feeding your teddy bear the recommended number of servings from each food group is important to keep it at a healthy size. If you give it the maximum number of recommended servings from each food group every day, it will put on weight.

Discover some strategies and tips

• Your teddy bear will never die, no matter the quantity or quality of what you feed it. So go ahead! Try out different diets and see what happens!

How to play hide and seek

Your teddy bear will be hiding in various places. From time to time, it will appear briefly before hiding again. The goal of the game is to click on your teddy bear every time it appears before it hides again.

At the beginning of the game, you have five “lives”. If your teddy bear hides before you have had time to click on it, you lose one life. The game ends when you have no life left.

The more you will progress in the game, the faster it will get. You must have good reflexes!

Watch out for the skunk: it likes to play too! If you click on the skunk by accident, you will lose points.
