Contact_FullName: Lisa Contact_Email: jimmynlisa@thegateway.net Area: hibernation-art Idea: porcupines: I cut out the shape of a porcupine and let the kids glue on toothpicks and add wiggle eyes. easy, quick and cheap! Contact_FullName: Lisa Contact_Email: jimmynlisa@thegateway.net Area: hibernation-art Idea: fall/hibernation water bottles: let the kids go outside and collect acorns. I then let them put them in empty clean soda bottles and add some glitter (fall colors, gold looks nice) they also add confetti bought at the local craft store for fall, it has leaves, etc in it. teacher hot glues the lid and tie some raffia around the top and it looks very pretty!

They added little ants that I had punched out with a paper shaper punch. You could use stickers as well. Or another way I have done it in the past. Is give them a cut out in brown paper and let them use their fingerprints in black for the ants.

Contact_FullName: Lisa Contact_Email: jimmynlisa@thegateway.net Area: hibernation-art Idea: bears: we made bears out of paper bowls. let the kids paint the bowls browns, add brown construction paper ears at the top, a pink pom pom in the middle of the bottom side of the bowl, then add large wiggle eyes or buttons! SO cute and made with stuff you have around already! Contact_FullName: Lisa Contact_Email: jimmynlisa@thegateway.net Area: hibernation-art Idea: toilet roll snake: I gave each child 3 to 4 toilet rolls and let them string them onto yarn (tape each end of yarn to the each ended roll) then let them paint green. we added green glitter and wiggle eyes and they made the cutest snakes to hang from the ceiling! Contact_FullName: Kelly Contact_Email: Kellyv69@yahoo.com Area: Hibernation-Snack Idea: We make hibernating bear cupcakes. Make cupcakes as you normally would. Before baking, push a teddy graham down into each cupcake. They hold their shape during baking, and the kids get a big kick out of finding the bear in the "cupcave"! Contact_FullName: Amy Contact_Email: Saintes@rcn.com Area: Hibernation-snack Idea: Give each child a small cup of chocolate pudding with a gummy bear hidden inside, on top have children add crumbled cookie for dirt and whipped cream for snow. They can enjoy the snack as they hunt for the "hibernating bear" in the pudding. Contact_FullName: Julie Contact_Email: jwsessions@msn.com Area: Hibernation-snack/craft Idea: I love the ideas that I found on this site. I wanted to add one idea that I had. For a snack, you could have the children make little caves out of rice crispy treats, and give them cinnamon bears (or Brach's fruit bears) to "hibernate in the caves". If you want to get really creative, you could even make leaves out of green fruit roll ups for the bears to sleep on (before their eaten that is...). 12-27-00For a fun hibernation snack, bring different types of nuts. Bring in a bag of loose nuts and have some in the shells for children to look at and observe the shape and texture (You can crack some open to look at the inside and then enjoy the loose nuts). Talk about how and why squirrels collect acorns and nuts before it gets too cold to go out and look for food. You can add some raisins and cranberries to make it interesting too.
