One of my favorite childhood stories was definitely about Corduroy the bear. I was surprised to learn only a few kids recognized the book! Once I read it to them, they loved it as much as I did :) We created our own Corduroy bears showing different kinds of texture. We used gold paint for the bear and green construction paper for the overalls. Each student got a small piece of cardboard to dip into a darker green paint to make a corduroy effect on the overalls. We also used gold oil pastels to add fur around the outside of our bear. Students picked out a color for the background as well as 2 buttons for me to hot glue on their picture. I love the results!
