Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear?
by Nancy White Carlstrom
We love Jesse Bear at our house and I wanted to share some of the activities we’ve done to go along with this sweet little book!
Craft: We made a cute little dress up bear awhile back and I thought it would be perfect for this activity so we got him back out. It’s simply a bear printed out on brown cardstock then laminated. I put Velcro dots on his body then cutout clothes from colorful felt. It’s easy to dress him as you just stick them on!
Here is a cute paper bear we found at Danielle’s Place (Edited: Sorry, looks like she removed the free Bear Printables!):
Lapbook: We made this cute lapbook for our study this week as well. You can find all of these printables for this lapbook on Homeschool Share.
Find the bear: One of our favorite games was the find the bear activity. I hid the little bears all over the room and she had to find them. Although it was too simple for her, but she really had a good time!
Rhyming Words: My son helped her do the rhyming words activity. He did really well considering many of the words sound the same but are not spelled the same.
Math: Next we got out our Add It! Game and used counting bears to do a little simple math:
Very cute! Do you keep all of your lapbooks? If you do how do you store them?
All those ideas are great! I love the lapbook :)Thanks!
Love the Add It game. What a clever way of teaching addition. Thanks.
We love Jesse Bear, too! Thanks so much for sharing this!!
How Cute!! We love Homeschool Share!!
Thank you so much for the great ideas you post. I especially enjoy the character study that we are working through as a family. Keep up the good work. God Bless. Jen
STACI: Yes, we keep them, the kids like to go back through them and play. I just keep them all in a storage container that sits on my self, it's kind of like a magazine holder.
