Bear/Hibernation Storytime

After a two week hiatus from Storytime, we're back!  Today we talked about bears and hibernation.  We read Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson and Sleep, Big Bear, Sleep by Maureen Wright.

For today's craft we made yarn bears.  I told the kids that our bears would need thick fur to keep them warm while they hibernated in the winter.

I printed off blank bear templates for each child and gave them bowls full of cut up brown and black yarn which they glued on to the bear.
