Need: paper and brads
Directions: Make a brown bear by adding arms, legs, and head with brads. Have the children find a special place until spring. The teacher sends home a note then and reminds them to send them back to school. The children think it is great to find a dark place to let their bear hibernate.

Need: Cardboard, brown grocery bag, and tape
Directions: Have a square of cardboard for each child and a piece of paper grocery bag. Work with the children a few at a time. The child is to crumple the paper and help him tape it onto the cardboard in a “cave shape” leaving an opening. Have pre-cut a little brown bear with an L-shaped piece of cardboard on the back of it. The child tapes the bottom of the L-shape inside the cave onto the cardboard base so that the bear will stand up. (The children enjoy peeking in to see their bears
hibernating.)
