Brown {Beans} Bear

Eric Carle is one of my favorite children's authors....right after Dr. Seuss.

He has some fun and creative books that are just so catchy.

There are a ton of projects out there to celebrate his birthday. Teach Preschool has a post with linkys up that various parents and teachers did with their kiddos this week.

I decided to do projects with the books we already own since our library here in town isn't open that often...even though I fell in love with some of those other projects..!

 Want to know why I love this book so much?

When my daughter was 3 years old, she knew every page word for word of it. So, even when we read it this week....she could tell me the words on the next page before I turned...and she's 4 now....so still doesn't read yet.

For this project, I traced the Brown Bear cover with computer paper because it's nice and thin.

 The girls used Pinto Beans and filled it in.

This is defintely a project that takes awhile, so perfect for summer when they have time to spear.
