Jack has been showing a lot of interest in the woods and/or the forest lately, and is particularly curious about the animals that live there. So...my first step to satiate his curiosity was to take out lots of great books from the library with pictures and stories of forest animals. We've read a few of them (our favorite is The Busy Tree) and I've been saving a few in hopes of tying them in with some sort of project.
This morning I read one of the books I've been saving: Bear Wants More and together we made (pancake) bears for breakfast. Flipping them proved to be little more difficult than I imagined, so only Jack got the really successful bear, but Kingsley was completely happy nonetheless - give her syrup to dip food into, and she's content! Just to add a little more fun, we ate our bear pancakes at a bear picnic. We invited all the bears we could find (including Teddy and YaYa of course), and sat on a blanket on the floor. Both kids really enjoyed themselves - a great way to start the day!
