Bear Heads! Yum!

Bear Heads!

What is that? A yummy snack for hungry tummies and courageous snackmakers.

What you need

Rice cakes 1 - head
Peanut butter 1 Tablespoon
Vanilla wafers 2 - ears
Raisins 2 - eyes
Candy kiss – nose
Mini chocolate chips – mouth
A knife
A plate

What to do

Use a knife to spread peanut butter in the rice cake. Attach the ears, eyes, nose and mouth. The mouth can be made by using the mini chips to make the mouth or a smile.

Choose a theme.

What are your child’s interests?
Teddy bears? Bears?
Learn and sing the Teddy Bears Picnic song.
Pack up your teddy bear and snack goodies and head for the park or the backyard. If it is too warm outside spread a cloth on the floor and picnic on the floor while you learn or listen to the song. Read a book about bears.
Checkout the library and see what is available about bears.

Let’s Learn

Shapes

It is all about circles today. Look at the snack items and discuss their shape. Look for round shapes around you. Make a list using words and pictures.

Bear Puppets


Use small paper plates for the bears head and add features with construction paper. Or even newspaper that can be colored by you and your child. Old crayons with the paper removed are good to color the plates and newsprint. Hold the crayons by the side and color large areas. Encourage your child to color in sweeping motions crossing from the left to the right side of their body or right to left. Put a newspaper under the paper plate.
Add circle ears and use a black marker to add round eyes and nose.
