This week, we read about a bear hunt during storytime. You can do your own bear hunt with a set of ears from us and a few props.
You will need a broom, a water bottle half full, something that makes squishy noises, a pot and wooden spoon, and empty bottle, and a pair of shoes.
- For the grass “swishy swashy”: run the broom along the floor.
- For the river “splash splosh”: shake the water bottle.
- For the mud “squelch squerch”: make squishy noises.
- For the forest “stumble trip”: bang the pot with a spoon.
- For the snowstorm “hoooo woooo!”: blow into the top of an empty bottle.
- For the cave “tiptoe tiptoe”: put your hands in the shoes and “walk” across the floor.
