Jesse Bear

Jesse Bear is a bear that I made at Build-A-Bear Workshop.  He has his own series of books!  I pack his bag with his books, pajamas, blanket, flashlight, brush, and a little container with teddy grahams for a bedtime snack!  The kids take turns taking Jesse home!  I usually pack a disposable camera also, so the kids can take 2-3 pictures of Jesse at their house!

Five Little Bears

My five little bears puppet made out of a canvas glove!

Five Little Bears

One little bear wondering what to do, 

Along came another then there were two.

Two little bears climbing up a tree,

Along came another then there were three.

Three little bears at an apple core,

Along came another then there were four.

Four little honey bears found honey in a hive,

Along came another then there were five!
