Bear French Toast
Craft - Textured Brown Bear
What You Need:
Bear Template
Blue Construction Paper for Background
Piece of Green Construction Paper for Grass
Brown Paint
Coffee
Wiggly Eyes
Small Black Pom Pom
Glue
Scissors
What To Do:
1. Cut out Bear Template - I drew this myself (will try to get it scanned and posted) and used cardstock so it would handle the weight of the paint and coffee
2. Paint Bear using brown paint - I encouraged the lil Divas to cover it entirely and make it wet - they were happy about that!
3. Cover wet bear with cofee completely - be careful when you shake it off, I find it best to wait until it dries a bit so that more coffee sticks on than shakes off
4. Add Wiggly Eyes & Nose - then let it dry! The less you move & touch it the better
5. Prepare background paper - cut green piece to look like grass, be sure to leave room at the bottom for gluing - do not cut all the way to edge!
6. Behold your Textured Coffeee Bear

Learning Fun
Number Order 1-10 Practice - for this I bought bear cut out and wrote the numbers 1 thru 10 on them. I mixed them up and had the Lil Divas put them in numerical order. You could easily do this with bear cut outs out of brown construction paper too.
ABC Upper/Lower Case Match - I used large and small bear cut outs that I had purchased and wrote the Capital letters on the larger bears and lower case letters on the small bears. The girls then had to match the "Baby" Bears (lower case letters) to the correct Mommy/Daddy Bear (Capital letters).
Hope you enjoyed our Brown Bear fun!
