Brown Bear Activities

We have been reading Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See.  Here are some of the activities we have done to go along with the book.

We painted brown bears with chocolate pudding.  This was fun, and far less messy than what I imagined.  It was almost like C wanted to save his pudding to eat instead of mess. 

Here is my guy painting his bear.

Now here he is eating his pudding paint.

We did a M & M sorting activity with a brown bear sheet.  The colors of all of the animals works perfectly with a pack of M & Ms.
Here is the link to the printable for the sorting sheet.  I just printed it and slid it into a page protector.  Worked our GREAT.  We are saving it to do again later!


of course Mama helped

We made brown bear sticks for our busy bag.  These are fun to play along with the book or to put the bears in order from largest to smallest.    You can find the printable for these over at 1+1=1

We also did the file folder Brown Bear Matching game which I posted about last week.
You can find that post here  if you missed it.
