We LOVE activities to go with books! This Bear Hunt Printable Hatt is a fun activity for your kids to recall and retell the story.
Included in this pack are: 2 dot it sheets (one color, one black and white), and large posters of all parts in the story (grass, river, mud, forest, snowstorm, cave, and a bear); copies of these are in both color and black and white. Clipart from RainbowSprinkleStudio Ideas on how to use my “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” resources! 1- Complete a story walk where you have the kids make maps, and read the book while you walk from place to place in the story! You could also play the song and do this activity! 2- Give students the WS with all of the pictures on it and have them dot them as you read the story. 3- Set up an obstacle course with each place in the story! Play the song while they go through the course! Another fun idea: Read the book and give students items to make the sounds of the book. Ideas: broom for the “swishy swashy” grass, shake a water bottle with water in it for the “splash splosh” river, squeeze a pudding cup for the “squelch squerch” mud, hit pots and pans with wooden spoons for the “stumble trip” forest, and blow into empty bottles for the “hooo wooo” snowstorm. This is one of my favorite stories to read in my classroom! There are so many fun activities you can incorporate!

One of my favorite campfire songs, going on a bear hunt with a downloadable pdf print version of the lyrics included.
Happy Tuesday! We are finishing up our camping week(s) this week! Today we did a fun color sorting and matching activity! I took our counting bears and put them in a sensory bin filled with beans. We took our matching mat and matched the bears based on their color! There are two different mats-different amounts of bears to sort on each one. After we matched, we put the bears back and used our sorting cards to sort by color! You can grab this activity for free HERE! *This post includes affiliate links*

I love making beautiful things with kids. But I'll be honest with ya. Often times making beautiful things takes time to plan and prep... and I just don't have the energy. Often times I'll find myself at 11pm at night thinking, "Now shoot. What craft are we going to do tomorrow?" That's when I resort to fast and easy no-prep activities for the kiddos. And that's how these 3 "Going on a Bear Hunt" themed activities came about. Chuck and I love reading the book, so I came up with 3 really easy crafts to go along with the bear hunt theme. 3 Super Easy Bear Hunt Crafts (This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for your support!) If you find yourself semi-scrambling for an easy craft idea too, then perhaps this activity is for you! (And here's an added bonus, if you don't want to do your own drawings, you can always just printout my doodles. I've included pdfs of those too down below. ) Ready to go on a bear hunt with us? Ok. Let's start crafting! Materials Needed This book Paper Bag Bear printable Paper Bags Glue Sticks Scissors Crayons Paper Plate Popsicle Stick Paint Paint Brushes Tape Cereal Boxes Story Map Printout and Character Piece Printout 1. Make a Paper Bag Bear Puppet! We made these puppets at our toddler time library group. The kids colored in the different parts and the moms helped to cut out the pieces. Then, the kids glued everything onto a paper bag to make a cute puppet. Bam. Easy to prep, easy to do, easy to clean up. (To get a pdf of my drawings, find the link in the materials list above.) Can you guess which one is Chuck's? 2. Make a Paper Plate Bear Mask Heh heh heh. This mask was 100% kid painted. (Chuck was so proud of his work. And see that black bit at the bottom? Yeah. It's his mouth. I know. I found it a bit scary and funny myself.) I also gave him some cereal box ears and nose to paint and then glue on. Rawr! 3. Map out the locations in the story! Even though we've read the story countless times, I actually found this map to be really helpful in visualizing what was happening. We just printed out the image (see link for my drawings above in the Materials list), colored it in, and then moved the pieces to the different locations as I read the story. And that's it. 3 easy and fast bear crafts. If you liked this post, check out my Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter accounts for more fun ideas! Happy bear hunting!
