Contact_FullName: Daylend Bristol Contact_Email: chainlyny5@aol.com date:: 09/02/03 Area: snacks" B"bears Idea: Give each child 2 rectangle shape crackers put peanut butter in small condiment cups allowing each child 1 cup and 3 gummy bears for each child. The children love to feel food so let them use their fingers to spread the peanut butter. Have them stand the 2nd cracker as a back to a bench, then place the gummy bears on them. You now have Bears on a bench. Suggestion, this goes good with the classic story The Three Little Bears. My children love them.
Contact_FullName: Diane Contact_Email: dbishop@totacc.com date:: 03/12/03 Area: snacks Idea: Bear Claws Use canned biscuits, two for each child. Pat one flat, break other into 4 balls. Roll in butter, then in sugar and cinnamon. Arrange on foil to look like a bear claw, bake until golden. 11-18-00Teddy Bear Treat Spread peanut butter (watch out for allergies) on a plain rice cake. Add two small pretzel twists for the ears and M&Ms for the eyes, nose and mouth. My kindergarteners loved making and eating this snack as a culmination to our Bear theme.
10-16-00During our unit on bears, we have a teddy bear picnic. While one teacher is helping the kids wash their hands, the other teacher sets up a picnic blanket and hides (in obvious places) bags of honeycomb cereal in the room. When the kids return, they find their honey for the picnic.
9-8-00Laminate a sheet of paper with several bear shapes in different colors. Use these to sort gummy bears, then eat and enjoy.
8-24-00Using bear shaped cookie cutters, cut bread into bear shapes and put honey in the middle.
7-13-00After learning, "10 Bears in a Bed," have the children count in a cup 10 Teddy Grahams and 10 small marshmallows (pillows) for snack.
Date: 2-7-00take an English muffin and spread with peanut butter, add raisons for the eyes, black jellybean for the nose, and red pull n peel licorice for the mouth. Last place two vanilla wafers for the ears
Date: 1-28-00Bear Claws: this takes 1&1/2 refrigerated biscuits for each child. pat the first biscuit out, take the 1/2 biscuit and divide into three balls. add to first biscuit, to make the claws, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake.
ideaThe children in my preschool love bear milk and toast. We add a dash of cinnamon and a squirt of honey to our milk and stir and add cinnamon sugar to our toast for a "beary" good snack! Date: 10-11-99ideaReceived this great idea from Anita and Jamey. At the end of our Teddy Bear unit, we have a Teddy Bear Picnic. We eat hamburgers and hot dogs that the children make. The hot dogs are Vienna Sandwich cookies and licorice pieces that have red and yellow tube icing applied like ketchup and mustard. The hamburgers are two vanilla wafers, a chocolate covered smore cookie, (or a chocolate wafer) with green coconut and more red and yellow icing. We sit with our teddies on beach towels and listen to the song, "Teddy Bears Picnic". Great culmination activity. Date: 9-15-99
Date: 7-24-99While studying the letter B and bears we make butter. Depending on the number of children, you will need 1-2 pints of cream. For 18 children I used 1 pint. Place in a clear plastic jar, leaving several inches for expansion. Then have the children sit in a circle. They each count to ten as a child shakes it. Pass, count/shake, pass, until the cream has turned to butter. Pour off the buttermilk and, if you wish, knead in a tiny bit of salt, for taste. We don't add the salt. Then we spread this on brown bread that has been cut into the shape of a bear. Date: 1-20-99After reading the story of Goldilocks, have the children make porridge with you. All you need are quick oats, water and a little honey to mix in. Date: 1-10-99Bear Claws Place a spoonful of pie filling in center of 1 refrigerator biscuit ( I use blueberry). Then fold over in 1/2. With a knife make 2 slits on the edge of folded biscuit to imitate bear claws. Bake and enjoy. Date: 1-10-99Cub cakes To make a pawprint cupcake, bake cake in 12-cup muffin tin. Frost (for a furry paw, mix the frosting with grated coconut first). Top each cupcake with a small mint patty. Then place 3 Junior Mints or chocolate chips around the patty for claw marks. Date: 1-10-99Bear Toast Use cookie cutters to cut out bear shapes from bread. Toast and have children spread with peanut butter. Use food items for facial features depending on the age of children (i.e.: chocolate chips, raisins, gumdrops, Kix cereal). If you are a "nut free" environment you could color cream cheese brown or use chocolate frosting. Name: Pawprint Cookies 1 pkg. vanilla wafer cookies 2/3 c. clear Karo syrup 2 T. vanilla 1/2 c. jelly or preserves Place wafers in a gallon-size bag and zip. Let the children crush the cookies until tiny crumbs are left. Place in a mixing bowl. Combine syrup and flavoring. Drizzle syrup over crumbs, mix well (hands work best). Shape into 1-inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Press thumb indentation into center of balls. Spoon jelly into indentation. Cover and chill for 1 hour before serving. |
