I’ve been intending to make a ‘Bear Hunt’ for ages but never quite got around to it. Last week we were in a charity shop and found a box of animals for 30p each (bargain!) Eli chose a bear, a polar bear and a dinosaur. I tried to talk him into getting a zebra but he was having none of it!
As soon as we got home he asked me to help him make a cave so we covered an old ice cream tub with brown paper and then it developed from there. I think if I’d have prepared it in advance it would be prettier but it kept us busy for an hour or so.
The “long wavy grass.”
The “deep cold river” – its more like a pond but never mind!
“Thick oozy mud” – brown play dough
The “big dark forest.”
The “swirling whirling snowstorm”
“A narrow gloomy cave.”
“It’s a bear!”
“Get to our front door … Shut the door”
“We’re not going on a bear hunt again.”
This is one of our favorite books! What a fun way to retell it! Pinning!
Thanks, it’s one of our favourites too!
