The Red Ripe Strawberry

This week we  have been enjoying this old favorite with our 4 year old preschoolers. 
It is the story of a little mouse who is desperately trying to keep a "Big Hungry Bear" away from his strawberry.  He tries to bury it, lock it up, and disguise it, to no avail.  Finally, he decides to just eat it all up and avoid the bear all together!

After the first reading of the story we discussed what a "disguise" is, and then decided it would be funny to disguise our own handmade strawberries   

We used our fresh, homemade strawberry play-doh to make our strawberries.
 
Then we borrowed Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head's accessories to complete the perfect disguise   

I am sure that no BIG HUNGRY BEAR could find these strawberries!

How about this cowboy strawberry!
