My family had fun putting together the sensory components of this beloved children's book. Sensory items can be anything you have in the house or outside. If you can't go outside for the entire activity, bring in some outdoor items for your child to experience. Pull some grass or leaves for grass, sticks and leaves for the forest, ect. The idea is to expose your child do different sensory elements. Even if they seem uninterested, just touching and experiencing different tactile items is progress. Creating an obstacle course inside to act out the "over and "under" parts of the story also provide sensory input and work on gross motor skills that are a foundation for movement and learning. For example, try putting a blanket over the backs of chairs and have them crawl under and then step up over a chair to act out that part and/or the children can tip toe to "sneak" past a stuffed animal bear. Have fun and let me know if you have any questions!
