"B" Based Activity - Building Bears

I stole the idea from Play School (Australian Network) although they made dogs instead of bears. I thought it was quite fun to stack them up so I drew paper “bears”, glued the eyes on and added the snouts. Although they was not difficult to make, it took me a while to complete everything.





Sophie scribbled on the “bears” using crayons. She used to hate colouring but now she seems a lot more accommodating.



Nowadays, Sophie is able to appreciate and enjoy the fruit of our labour better. We played with our “bears” and she loves stacking them up




I am glad that Sophie is willing to put away her crayons (if she has done enough with them). Occasionally, I had to use creative ways to motivate her but in general, she can do it when she is told.
