Munchkin Moments: Happy Teddy Bear Day!!

Teddy Bears do not need heart, as they are already stuffed with love!!!

We celebrated National Teddy Bear Day this whole week! We began our celebrations by coloring a page on Teddy Bears and had the opportunity to talk about the sound and letter “Teddy Bear” begins with. I encouraged my munchkins to trace the letter “t” and then color in the teddy bear.

It’s the Teddy Bear Dance!! Teddy bear, teddy bear turn around… Check out our dance moves!

We reviewed our shapes and showed our teddy bears the different shapes. We had the opportunity to show each other different shapes and place certain numbered teddy bears on a named shape, working on both number and shape recognition.

We love to look through library books and are learning how to handle them!!

We played with our color counting bears and got to know them!!

We made teddy bears with our very own hands! These are the cutest bears of all!

We sorted our counter bears by color together and then counted them together. Classifying bears by color is one of the many ways we organized bears in different categories this week!

On Tuesday we laced honeycomb necklaces for our teddy bears. We practiced our fine motor and hand-eye coordination skills and made a great gift for our Teddy’s!!

We sorted our teddy bears both by size and by color!!

For art we made crowns for both my munchkins and their teddy bears. We wore these for our first picnic celebration later in the week.

In the afternoon we graphed gummy bears!! We each got a handful of gummy bears and classified them by their color, then analyzed what we had more and less of.

We had a “practice picnic” in our Kids Kitchen!! So much fun!!

Here are some pictures from our first Teddy Bear Picnic!! We drank gummy bear juice (water with gummy bears floating around) and snacked on teddy grahams! We snag teddy bear songs and read teddy bear books too!
