I got some un'bear'ably cute pictures of your kids with their bears for our bear theme. We had a lot of fun with them doing a bear hunt, and they even got a ride on the parachute. We had the bears take turns according to their color and size.
We practiced our months of the year with these themed bears. I had the month word strips hung on the wall in order, and the kids used them to put the bears in order.
For a math center we had our cookie bear counters. Each bear had a different number of hearts on its tummy, and we put them in order, counted by two, and went backwards from 1-10.
We got our hands moving and our zippers grooving with our bear zip and buckle puzzles. The kids loved this fine motor activity, they thought it was especially funny that the bear had his underpants on under his clothes!
We talked about different types of bears like the polar bear, the brown bear, black bears, and panda bears. Below you can check out the kids making their textured brown bears with chocolate chips!
We spring in the air, and a lot of cotton!, we reviewed the four seasons and made our 4-seasons puzzles.
