My daughter's preschool was having bear day so for an easy to make snack go
buy ding dongs and put paw prints on them with white icing. Easy and fast. The
kids loved them.

For a family unit, I have read Goldilocks and the Three Bears ( focusing on
the mama bear and father bear etc. and then had oatmeal (porridge for the snack
) :) adding a little fruit or cinnamon helped with a yummy taste..

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.

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.

Teddy 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.

During 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.

The 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!

Received 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.

While 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.

After 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.

Cub 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.

Bear 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.
