Gathering Activity: We read books together about Bears.
Circle Time: We read The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear by Don Wood. We did finger plays and sang songs about mice and bears.
Art Activity: Cute as a Button Strawberries
Materials Needed: strawberry shape cut out of poster board , buttons, and green foam piece cut into shape of strawberry topper, glue, foam paint brushes
Directions: Paint the strawberry shapes red. Glue on buttons and foam topper. Allow to dry.
Playtime Activity:
Strawberry Scented Playdough (We tripled this recipe, and made ahead of time, for our 7 kids).
We had free exploration with cookie cutters and play dough tools.

My kids love this book! Thanks for the ideas!
What a great book. I'd love to sit down and read that great story while munching on that cinnamon bear! Yum!!
I love how you have a whole series of activities to go with the book. The cinnamon bear looks delicious along with the strawberries. The strawberry with buttons is super cute! Please come by and link this post (as well as any other posts on arts, crafts and play) to Artsy Play Wednesday today on Capri + 3, a new linky for posts about arts, crafts and play activities for children.
