Hibernating Bear

Here is a Cave.
(bend fingers to form cave)

Inside is a bear.
(put thumb inside fingers)

Now he comes out.
(thumb out)

To get some fresh air.

He stays out all summer

In sunshine and heat.

He hunts in the forest

For berries to eat.
(move thumb in circle)

When snow starts to fall

He hurries inside.

His warm little cave
(thumb in)

And there he will hide.

Snow covers the cave

Like a fluffy white rug.
(cover with other hand)

Inside the bear sleeps

All cozy and snug.

Bear Family

Big mama brown bear
Knows just when
To make her winter home
in a warm cozy den.

She sleeps on some leaves
while it's cold outside
but before spring arrives
her cubs are born inside.

When the cold winter ends,
and it's a warm spring day, mama bear looks for food
while the little cubs play.
