Contact_FullName: Cathy Contact_Email: sciarrino4@aol.com date:: 01/16/02 Area: Hibernation Art Idea: Materials needed: Black or brown poster board cut into 4x4" squares, small Styrofoam cup (with a small 1/2 circle shape ripped out of one side of the cup) , a large brown pompom, 2 small brown pompoms, cotton balls and glue. (making cave opening). Have children glue the large pom pom onto the poster board. then glue the small pom poms anywhere as long as they are touching the big pom pom. Then dip rim of cup into glue and put over the top of the pom poms (bear is in cave sleeping!) Pull apart cotton balls and glue on top of cup around sides and onto black paper (but not inside) to look like fallen snow. VERY CUTE! and the kids loved it! I did it with 3 yr. olds.
11-30-00For Hibernating Bears we do this Art Project. Prior to class I cut a "door" into the side of a margarine tub (small size). Then I glue the margarine tub to a piece of cardboard. At school I put out brown playdoh, pine needles, small branches from different types of evergreen trees, tin foil, blue paper and bear stickers. The children create Forest environments for their bears. Some cover the margarine tubs with brown playdoh to create bear caves. Some glue the pine needles to the "floor" of the cardboard. Some children cut pieces of tin foil to create icy ponds or rivers. Some children cut blue ponds/rivers. Some children use the small branches and the playdoh to make "stand up' trees. There are lots of creative ideas and variations as the children work and make their own individual bear habitats. At the end they LOVE adding their bear stickers....they can be found in the caves, at the ponds, even up a tree!
