Promote prewriting skills with this simple activity set up

This activity was inspired from the activity 'bring the bears home' by my favorite Instagram account Beth over @dayswithgrey she always has the best ideas!

Materials:

• counting bears (these are from Learning Resources)

• Melissa and Doug paper roll

• Crayola crayons

• Scotch tape

How To:

1. tape paper roll on each side

2. draw "caves" on the right of the paper

3. draw lines from left to right to match the caves ( I drew different types of lines to make it a little more fun)

4. have your child follow the correct colored lines to the correct colored cave

Talk About It:

• counting

• "the bear travels up down up down"

• colors

• "What noise does a bear make?"

• "Where do bears live?"
