We're Going on a Bear Hunt Playscene Kit

Encourage imaginative storytelling and early literacy development with the We're Going on a Bear Hunt Playscene Kit. This engaging kit brings the beloved story to life through a combination of sensory elements and hands-on activities. It includes a copy of the classic picture book, a vibrant fold-out playscene, and a soft felt bear that children can move through different scenes as they retell the story. This multisensory approach supports oral language development, comprehension, and sequencing skills, making it a valuable resource for both classroom and home use. Children can physically interact with the felt bear as they explore various landscapes from the story, enhancing their understanding of narrative structure and helping them internalise the rhythm and repetition of the text. The playscene provides a visual and tactile backdrop, encouraging children to act out the story and use descriptive language as they recreate key moments. Ideal for literacy corners, small group activities, or one-on-one learning, this kit fosters creativity, active participation, and a love of storytelling.
