This is such a sweetie, sweet book of friendship. The illustrations couldn't be any sweeter. It is the story of a bear who finds the greatest thing ever to give to his friend, mouse.
To tie in a project with your kiddos, have them paint up a perfectly perfect box just for fun 9or to gift).
Materials:
*empty box or carton
*paint
*paintbrushes and/or markers
*glue and gluey bits
*tiny toy (optional)
Juice boxes work great for this. To make it a home for a tiny toy, cut out the front or back of the box with a kinfe/blade. This is NOT something for your kiddo to do. YOU can prep the box by cutting first.
Set up craft area with a splat mat or table cover and hand your kiddos a large(ish0 paintbrush and some white paint.
Paint up boxes and set aside to dry. The white paint will prime your box so your kiddos will have a blank canvas.
Once dry, hand your kiddos smaller paint brushes, markers and or collage bits and glue and let them go to town.
