Crafting and Activities Guided by Brown Bear Series for Learning Colors
In our ongoing series based on the beloved book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, this week we're diving into the colour red. Here's a roundup of some creative and educational activities that will help your little ones explore the colour and enhance their skills.
First up, we have sensory bins featuring red items. By interacting with objects such as red beads, pom-poms, or fabric scraps, children can develop their fine motor skills and colour recognition while having fun [1].
Next, let's make some red paper fish crafts! This activity is a fun way for kids to learn about colours and improve their crafting skills as they cut, colour, and assemble paper fish shapes [2].
For a more interactive storytelling experience, consider using red felt pieces. These sets include characters and objects with red elements, allowing children to retell the story while handling tactile figures [4].
A paper plate bear with a red scarf is another engaging craft activity. Children can create a bear’s face on a paper plate and decorate it with a red scarf, which is perfect for seasonal themes and helps enhance fine motor skills [5].
To add some feather fun, don't forget to check out the Feather Crafts roundup and the Feathered Bird Craft [6][7]. Painting with feathers is a unique way to create art, while the Pom Pom Drop adds a touch of excitement to the learning process.
The author of this series went all out with red materials, providing red crayons, pencils, markers, glitter glue, and later adding red paint for drawing and painting activities [3].

Investigating the color red in our home-and-garden lifestyle, we also incorporate it into creative craft activities for children. To foster tactile learning, try using red felt pieces for an interactive storytelling experience like crafting a paper plate bear with a red scarf [1,5]. Additionally, home-improvement enthusiasts may find joy in creating sensory bins filled with red items, providing opportunities to refine fine motor skills and color recognition [1].
