BEAR HUNT BACKPACK

Here’s a backpack the children can make to go along with the COOL BEAR HUNT. 
1st Fold a lunch bag in half lengthwise.
2nd Cut up in an arch shape toward the middle crease.
3rd Open and fold down the front and sides of the arch.  Trim off.  Fold down the remaining section.
4th Cut off a strip from the top scrap.  Cut in half.  Loop around ends to make straps for the back.  Glue to the back.
 5th Give children pictures of a flashlight, crackers, and thermos to go in their backpacks or let them draw their own items.
6th Let children write or tell follow up stories to the bear hunt.  What happened after you got home and shut the door???
