Where is Bear? Craft and Activities

Everyone is getting ready ready for winter, but where is Bear?

 ACTIVITY 

The activity is a search for all the animals getting ready to hibernate for the winter.  Bear has a flap to close so that he is doubly hidden!

 Animals at scatter around for kids to find
 

Large animals to hold up so kids know what they are looking for

Here is the song I sing to tell the kids what animal to look for:

CRAFT

The craft is a forest scene showing all the animals getting ready to hibernate.  The animals should be pre-cut so the kids just have to glue them on and color them.  The bear has a flap so that he can be hidden somewhere in the scene.
