This week we used the book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle as our stART project. I had seen this idea over at The Ramblings of a Crazy Woman for a coffee brown bear. It looked so easy to put together and Bekah loves the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, so we set to work.
I printed off a bear coloring sheet from here and Bekah drizzled glue on him. I guess she wanted a polka dotted bear, because she really wanted just dots of glue. I should have had the glue with a paint brush, it would have worked so much better, but she didn't want to use a paint brush.
She then sprinkled her bear with the coffee.....mmmm....it smelled so good!
We let him dry and enjoyed our coffee brown bear. Don't you love the dots on his face and front legs! So funny!
