- First: Discuss what they notice. Invite someone to make a list of the bear books your family would like to read for your family FeBeary day. Add to your list some fun “bear” treats to get from the store: any fresh berries; Teddy Grahams; Gummy Bears; don’t forget some honey for peanut butter sandwiches (make the sandwiches and use a bear cookie cutter to cut the centers out of the sandwiches).
- Next: Head to Yacolt’s/Battle Ground’s Fort Vancouver Library. Check out bear picture books and/or bear chapter books… even their favorite Nonfiction bear resource books.
- Finally: Once you get home, ask the family to get their pajamas on and grab their teddy bears or their favorite stuffy… gather in your family room… throw a blanket or quilt on the floor and begin sharing the bear books… celebrate a family story time challenge together. Happy BEARy Reading!
