Don’t have the book? You can “read” it on SchoolTube!!
We still had the bear cave set up from yesterday’s activities, so it worked out perfectly there. We decided to turn our hallway into the path from the book. To begin, we checked the book and the made matching decorations for both the hallway and kitchen, leading the way to the bear cave!
Tall Grass. Cold River
Of course, we had to do the motions and the sound effects as we “walked” through these areas.
This was our muddy swamp. A brown sheet would have been much more realistic, but alas — I don’t have one.

These were the snowflakes in the big storm, cut from coffee filters. Quick and Easy.
At the end of the “hunt”, there were usually one or two bears waiting inside the cave. We peeked in and were greeted by a fierce “ROAR!” Of course, we ran back through the kitchen, back down the hallway and into the bedroom. The kids jumped onto the bed and covered up!
This activity was a huge hit and covered a bunch of things from the preschool checklist!
