WE ARE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT

'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'  is an ever favourite children's story. It just so happens that it is also my favourite! That is why I have dreamt about creating a sensory mat for children to 'feel' the story as they retell it over and over again. I was trying to make it as 3D as possible. For background fabric I have used samples of upholstery fabric donated to the nursery.  I then used differently textured materials to represent the different story areas. I hand stitched all indvidual scenes, a friend however, with the use of a sewing machine helped with joining and backing the scenes to form a single mat. Thank you Heather!

The mat forms part of the 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' story sack  that we rent to the children to take home. It is very popular, loved and appreciated by the children and their parents.
