Bear Hibernation (Learning Activity)

Every bear likes somewhere comfy to sleep so he doesn’t awake like a bear with a sore head….

We decided to learn about hibernation by taking our own bear to the woods and settling him down in his own lair for his winter time slumber…

First we needed to build a lair so we found a box which our bear would fit into. We collected lots of leaves to help camouflage our lair…

We carefully cut a flap in the side of our box and then set about glueing all our autumn leaves to our bears home…

We tried to make our lair as comfortable as possible so filled it with a piece of furry material and lots of leaves…

Once our hibernation lair was ready it was time to prepare our bear… We found a scarf to keep him warm throughout the winter…

We read our bear a bedtime story and tucked him up within his lair with some hazelnuts in case he got peckish…

We wrote our bear a letter wishing him sweet dreams & telling him we would be back in the spring to awaken him…

And then we set off into the woods to find a secret bush to place him under..

And there our bear shall stay until the spring….

Instagram post 2195568593500255553_20180382 13 years ago today you were born, 13 years ago today we said goodbye. I remember it like it was yesterday & always will, it will always be the most vividly remembered day of our lives, it seemed so unfair that xmas lights shone everywhere but the twinkle in your eyes went unseen. You left the world as you came into our lives but you did not leave it untouched, you left with us a better appreciation of life, a clearer view of the world & a better ability to see what's important.  We held you, we kissed you, we made sure we treasured every second that we were given to say goodbye, I still feel you, the memory of your coldness on my lips. The void is still there but today we smile for you, laugh for you, feel the sun for you, exude love for you. Everyday we remember you. Everyday we miss you, everyday you fleet through our thoughts & everyday you're nestled in our hearts. Today is your day. 
Happy 13th birthday Holly, we miss you baby, we miss who you would of been. 💚

Mum & Dad.
