For each sandwich:
2 slices of brown bread
peanut butter
honey
3 raisins
Spread one slice of bread with peanut butter. Drizzle with honey. Top with the second slice of bread. Use
a teddy bear cookie cutter to cut a bear from the center of the sandwich. Press on raisins to make eyes and nose.

Beary Good Trail Mix
For each serving of four:
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup peanuts
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (shelled)
Let your child measure and stir the ingredients. Divide the mix into four servings and place in plastic bags.
Carry the trail mix on a "bear hunt" hike. Hide a teddy bear in one of the trees on the hike.

Bear Biscuits
3 refrigerator biscuits for each child (canned biscuits)
cinnamon sugar
ungreased baking sheet
Shape one biscuit into the bear body.
Divide one biscuit into four equal parts for arms and legs.
Use one biscuit for the head and two ears. (Roll and pat out one-half biscuit for head
and use other half divided for ears)
Roll each piece in cinnamon sugar. Put the parts together. You may want to add raisins for eyes, nose and mouth.
Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Serve with honey butter: 1/2 cup butter mixed with
4 tbsp. honey.

Bear Treats
You will need: One rice cake, about one tablespoon of peanut butter, three raisins, and some
cheerios, and two vanilla wafers. Have your child smear the peanut butter on top of the rice cake.
Then have them put the cheerios on for eyes and nose, and use the raisins for the mouth.
Have them put the vanilla wafers on the top of the rice cake for the ears.
