Hibernation Day!

Today in preschool we learned about animals that hibernate.

And to go along with it we had "Hibernation Day"

Sounds official doesn't it?

I invited all our preschool friends to wear their pajamas and bring a book. We talked about which animals hibernate and why. We practiced stuffing our bellies with food by eating a yummy before hibernating snack of cookies and milk. Our shape for this month is octagon so we played red light, green light with a hibernating twist. Green means wake up and growl like a bear and the red octagon meant lay down and hibernate/sleep. They loved it. Our color was white so talked about how the snow is white outside and we made a couple different snow caves. It was a very fun day. I had so much fun with my class.

All our friends enjoying the books inside our snow cave.

They even did pretty good sharing their books with each other.

I found a couple really cute books at the library with the hibernating theme.

The kids really got into it all.

We made our own snow cave to take home. And we colored different animals to stick inside and let hibernate.

Our favorite hibernating animal at least for the boys was the BEAR of course and they were very good at growling.

Someone else somewhere has probably come up with this idea but. I actually thought of this and I am pretty proud of my imagination. It's a paper bag rolled into a cave shape. I let them paint the snow on it. So it's kind of a dirty looking cave.

I thought they turned out so cute.

The whole day was great. I think hibernation day is going to be a tradition in our house. It was fun.
