25+ Activities, Crafts, and Printables for We’re Going on a Bear Hunt

We're Going on a Bear Hunt activities, crafts, printables, and cooking ideas for a unit - from Homeschool Creations

Reading We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen and doing so many fun activities along with it, was such a fun part of our literature-based learning with our boys. This collection of 25+ activities, crafts, and printables for We’re Going on a Bear Hunt is a small peek at all you can do, but it will definitely get you started!

Kaleb absolutely loved this book and the fun things we did: sequencing and acting out the story, a bear sensory tub, and we even went on a real bear hunt (because we’ve had one in our area!). Looking for the signs is fun (and maybe a little scary too!).
