Free Printable Bear Country 8x10 Sign

Free Printable Bear Country Sign from B.Nute productions

When we're knee deep into the Fall season, and our calendar is filled to the gills with school activities and events, I pine for a weekend in the pines. Fall time up at our family spot in Tahoe is like a little bit of heaven. The summer tourists have gone, and the skiers have not yet arrived. The lake sparkles in peace, making this a wonderful get-away.

When I made this free printable Bear Country sign, I immediately thought of this spot. This sign would be perfect in a frame in what my mom refers to as the Bear room of their cabin. It's decked out with vintage Smokey the Bear items, a log style bed and a Pendleton blanket hanging from the wall.

Well, as I mentioned, soccer games and walk-a-thons prevail... so instead, how about use this sign for a "Going on a Bear Hunt" party. It would look great on the front door, or to let kids know it's time to start a bear hunt game based on the classic children's story. Enjoy!

Swishing through the tall grass, wading through a river, squishing through mud and adventuring through a forest... A Bear Hunt birthday party is the perfect theme for your little explorer!

Bear Hunt Party Ideas

Bear Hunt Party Ideas
Need ideas of how to entertain the crowd? Here are a host of Bear Hunt Party games sure to please all ages:

Bear Hunt for Little Ones - Set up a bear hunt obstacle course in your own yard (or home) where little ones can crawl under tables and over pillows, where they can stomp through a wading pool of water, and sift through sand. Looking for a simpler game? Tape cutout construction paper paws or bears throughout the yard, and have the little ones find them. Here are more wonderful examples:

• We're Going on a Bear Hunt - on My Little Happies
• We're Going on a Bear Hunt - on Catch My Party from That Cute Little Cake T
• Bear Scavenger Hunt Printable Game (from my blog!)
• Bear Hunt Activity - Colorful bears cut from construction paper hidden around the yard for little ones to find (on Texas Schileicher's blog)

Bear Scavenger Hunt in a Park - Hide some small teddy bears or paper paw prints in a local park, and provide a hand drawn map for the kids to run around and find them! Here is a great example:

• Going on a Bear Hunt - Hidden Bears in a Park on Erin Miller's Blog

Bear Hunt Hike
For a slightly older crowd, head to a local forested park for your bear hunt. Again, hide small stuffed animals, or paper paw prints and have the kids hike out on a hunt! Here is a creative example:

• Bear Hunt on a forested trail on My Mummy's Pennies

Free Printable Teddy Bear Scavenger Hunt Game

Free Printable Teddy Bear Scavenger Hunt Game from B.Nute productions

Send your party guests on a fun Teddy Bear scavenger hunt at your Teddy Bear Party/Teddy Bear Picnic with this free printable Teddy Bear Scavenger Hunt map/game.

Teddy needs to find his den, and it's each guests' job to help him. Set up a small (or large depending on age of the crowd) obstacle course/hunt in your yard, house or party space and get searching.

How to Play
Create a "course" in your yard or your house with the 7 "stops" or locations on the map. At each location, you can have the guests either do the activity or if it's a very young crowd, they can pick up a "souvenir" or trinket from each spot. Here are some ideas for each location:

• Pick Some Berries - At this spot you can have some real or pretend berries that they can find/gather and put in a berry basket or eat!
• Find a Picnic Basket - Once they find the picnic basket, have them look inside and pull out a trinket to show they have been at the basket-- It could be a paper napkin, or a "sandwich" or some other picnic type item.
• Catch a Fish - You could play the old fashioned game of catching a small fish toy with a magnetic fishing pole... or just have a bucket of toy fish the children can reach into and take one.
• Climb a Tree - Climbing a tree may not be appropriate for certain ages, but you can set up a little space the guests can "climb" on (i.e, soft pillows, a backyard play structure) to act like the tree.
• See a Hiker - Either have a person pose as a hiker, or put a small picture of a hiker hidden somewhere where the guests have to spot.
• Eat Some Honey - Put out a little cracker and honey for the kids to nibble on. If the guests are too young to eat honey and/or do not like it, you can put a substitute sweet or a few "honey" flavored teddy grahams to nibble on.
• The Bear's Den - Create a nice cozy area to act as the den. Set up blankets, and pillows and fun place to tumble and play.

Now start setting up your hunt and have a beary good time!
