Bear-ly Beginning



So, I always start out the year with a teddy bear theme. It takes about 3 weeks and ends with a teddy bear picnic on the last Friday. Here are some of the activities we have done so far:

Poems: Teddy Bear, teddy bear turn around
1 little, 2 little, 3 little teddy bears (we end this with kids suggestions like "reading books" or "jumping around" or whatever)

Books: Where's my Teddy? by Jez Alborough (love, love, love this series about cute little Eddie!)
It's the Bear! by Jez Alborough
My Friend Bear by Jez Alborough
Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you see? by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle
(We also sing the song to this by Greg and Steve... It's on the Playing Favorites CD)
All the versions I can find of Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Art: Cut paper teddy bears (from TLC book)


Will try to add pictures soon! ETA: Some pictures!!
