#TBCCrafters Dig into Reading and Feed the Hungry Bear

Say it Rah-shay By Jul 18, 2013 7 Comments

 

A few weeks ago I saw a post for the Hungry Bear ABC game and created one to use at the library. Our theme for the summer is “Dig Into Reading” and I thought the idea of a bear in a cave looking for food was really cute.

 

 

To create a station of our own we gathered these supplies:

Cardboard Box
Butcher paper (we bought a roll of brown paper to create caves)
Construction Paper
Tape
A bear

To cover the box we used crumpled pieces of brown paper to create a textured look. We taped the paper to the insides and outsides of the box.

Using construction paper we created a lake in which the bear would fish for his food. We also used construction paper to make fish.

Last we found a stuffed animal friend to complete the look.

Feed the bear!

 

Below are the directions created for one or more players. This is a passive activity in the library for people to explore whenever the visit.
