Thanks to Valerie Spooner from Ladysmith/Rusk County for this guest post:


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.
