Brown Bear Story Telling Bracelet

We follow the Virtual book club and have adapted Mama Miss' Storytelling beads http://www.mamamiss.com/2015/08/13/story-telling-beads/

for Bill Martin, Jr's book Brown bear.

 

We made a bracelet with the some beads and my son used it to tell the story.

Please excuse the PJs he likes to do activities like this in the morning.

 

The bead jars was a brilliant idea the only reason we did it this way was that we had to work with the equipment that we had at home.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Fruity Snack

 

Way back in 2012 we had a Summer Bucket list where we did E for Eric Carle.
Part of this we looked at The Very Hungry Caterpillar, we made craft items and role played the book.
This was a snack a made for my son who was 2.4 years and he loved it.



Ingredients
Green apple
Plum
Blueberries
Raisins

Obviously you can change any items.

Yum Yum.

Not sure why this wasn't blogged about it 2012 but the Virtual book club has revisited this Book so I might try this again with my other son too.

Teabag brown bear: book club activity

Another virtual book club activity to go with the book: brown bear what do you see by Bill MartinJr

Tea bag brown bear

We had great fun and got a bit messy making this.

What to do

1.  Drink tea (get used tea bags approx fiour, obviously depends how big you draw the bear)

2. Draw the outline of the bear or print

3. Dab the paper with the tea bags

4. Empty contents into a tub

5. Mix glue and tea

6. Stick broken tea bags to the bear

7. When stuck paste the tea/glue mix on top

8. Add eyes

You could go over the outline with a marker or use cardboard to make a separate head to make it stand out.

Great fun! But didn't get to take any action shots.

Brown leaf brown bear: book club activity

Brown bear brown bear what do you see? Fantastic book by Bill Martin jr featured authour in the virtual book club for september.

There is a huge tree that leaves loads of leaves on our front lawn. So we decided to link our autumn activity with the book club activity.

So here is the brown bear made from leaves, cardboard, paper, glue, scissors and googley eyes.

1. Collect some leaves.

2. Draw the outline of the bear

3.'put some pva glue on the bear

4. Stick some leaves on

5. Draw and cut the head out of cardboard

6. Stick on googley eyes

7. Add brown shading

8. Attach head to the body

All done!

Tip: try to use leaf stem as the claw.

This activity was quite fiddley for my two year old as the leaves  didn't stick very easily. Maybe if we had flattened them overnight first they wouldn't curl up so much.

Not quite a master piece but he enjoyed it and we sang the story as a song like Bill Martin jr on YouTube .
