Whilst helping at school last week I remembered the "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" interactive mat I made for the reception teachers whilst Jacob was in reception. I was asked to make a something for the children to use to re-tell the story. I thought it was great opportunity to get some use textures and different materials.
I spilt the story into the main areas, grassy, mud, stream, forest, snow, the cave and their home. I made the characters using fabric pens and pastels and made them squidgy so that the children could hold onto them and move them round the mat.
Then they went...
 |
| Through the tassle grass with mini ribbon roses |
 |
| Through the shiny water with duck buttons |
 |
| Through the waddling and felt mud |
 |
| Through the forest with some of the trees only sewn at the top and botton so that they could walk "behind" them |
 |
| Under the netting snowstorm |
 |
| Which opens to find the bear! |
 |
| To the cave |
 |
| The mini bear chases them all the way home... |
 |
| Where they hide in the bed |
It was so much fun to make and great seeing the kids play with it.
