I've been trying to keep a make and take activity
available, but last month I added a craft activity that I kept as a
bulletin board. I had the bulletin board set up to look like an empty
cave when I put the materials out, with one bear that I made in the cave
to show the kids where theirs would go.
To make the bears they traced circle templates onto
construction paper, cut them out, glued the ears on, and drew a face. Then they
put the bear faces in the cave.
This bulletin board is outside my office door, under the
window, so it is at child height. The kids love to come and point out their
bear faces every time they come to the library.
