B is for Bear


Last week, R was learning the letter "B" in preschool.  We read one of our favorite bear books, We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen.  It's a great book for beginning readers because the text is repetitive and fun.  We enjoy reenacting the story in great dramatic fashion! 

Michael's recently had teddy bear card stock cutouts on sale really cheap (a package of twelve was less than fifty cents); I will probably be doing a teddy bear theme at my coffee shop story hour sometime soon.  I really like the card stock cutouts for preschoolers. 

C and R each decorated their own bears.  C's bear is the one with the bow tie and, obviously, R's bear is the green one.

It's always fun to find things like that.

Very clever. Planning crafts can take a lot of time, it's nice when you can find something fun and pretty like these.

Those bears look adorable. We did a Bear Day last year, and it was a big success. This is one of our favorite books, and we also enjoyed the new sequel to it - A Bear Day Out.

What a steal on the bear cutouts! I just bought dinosaur ones this week for when I host a "D" craft next week. Instant craft!
