Alphabet Formation Compare Bears

We are excited to be participating in a new weekly series called #toolsforlearning. Each week bloggers from around the world will be sharing learning activities based around a resource. This weeks chosen tool is Rainbow Bears. Due to my UK teaching background I know Rainbow Bears as Compare Bears. As Adam is at the early stages of writing we created an Alphabet Formation Compare Bear activity.

For Christmas Adam received a wonderful Wipe Clean Shaped Alphabet Activity Book. Every page is cut out to form each capital letter of the alphabet. Although the book is designed to be written on using a dry wipe pen we used the letters as a template. I folded the book so that just one letter was visible. Adam then used the letter outline to place the Compare Bears on top.

As soon as each letter was completed Adam pushed the compare bears to one side, turned the page over to reveal a new letter and started again. I was amazed at his level of concentration.

We attempted to make the Compare Bears face the correct way as if they had written. The Activity Book gave helpful indications as to which direction the letter should be formed.

Our Alphabet Formation Compare Bears could be used as a Busy Bag and used time and time again. It is incredibly easy to set up and the activity promotes independent play. The activity can also be easily adapted. If you do not have access to pre-made large letters you could write them yourself. Using this method you could create lower case letters and numbers to continue the Compare Bear formation fun.

As this activity doesn’t require any preparation and promotes independent play it can be classed as a Hyperemesis Gravidarum friendly activity.
