Book: "Bears Big Breakfast" (With puppets)

*The kids really enjoyed getting to see the bear pop up and enjoyed the book.

Fingerplay: "Feed Bear"
Here is where I found the fabulous idea of feeding our bear berries!  (We taped our bear to the front of an empty Kleenox box.)  I told the kids that I had a bear that needed berries just like the bear in our book.  They had a blast feeding the hungry bear strawberries and grapes.

Book: "Ants at the Picnic"

*This book turned out to be so much fun to read and make the props for.  Below is a picture of my props that I used.  I had my volunteer have the ants steal the picnic food as I read the book.  The kids had so much fun yelling out that the food had disappeared behind me.  A great book to use.

Book: "Scare a Bear"

*I ran out of time and didn't get to read this book.  It's a really cute book and I recommend reading it.

Fingerplay: "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear"
*Ran out of time and didn't do this fingerplay.

Book: "The Most Perfect Spot"

*This book is really fun to make interactive.  The kids helped me by making all the animal sounds.  Also, I had little brown circles to represent mud and raindrops that I threw out when we came to those parts of the story.  When it rained I had my trusty squirt bottle to spray some light mist too. 

Here is the website were we based our craft on and below is what our craft turned out like.
