Biscuit Bear

Product Information

Create a display like the one in the window of the pastry shop. Could you create different displays to represent the seasons? Pop them in the oven for roughly 10 minutes. They’re ready when the edges have turned golden brown and they’ve flattened down. As soon as they come out the oven, pop one large and three small chocolate buttons on top to make a bear claw. Find out the prices of different types of biscuits. Use these for your own statistics / data handling activities or to create some word problems.

Guiding your child to choose the safer acts!) children can be circus performers too doing a head over heels (roly-poly) just like an acrobat. Or they could be a strong man and lift cardboard tube weights or try juggling with balls or bean bags.

Teaching about the latest events?

At the start of the story, Horace is desperate to eat the biscuit bear. Write a persuasive letter to his mum asking her to allow him to eat the biscuit. Get your child to break the eggs, one at a time, into a small bowl. Add them to your bowl, mixing it a little between the additions of each egg. Get your child to measure the butter (225g) and sugar (200g demerara, 150g caster) out and then add to a mixing bowl or freestanding mixer. If the butter isn’t already soft, pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds or so, just to make it easier to mix.

Investigate reversible and irreversible changes. Is the process of cooking biscuits reversible or irreversible? Why? Make a timeline showing the main events of the story and the approximate times that they might have taken place. While everything is mixing, chop up the chocolate into small pieces. Get your toddler to add it in to your dough mixture and give it one last mix so that everything is nicely combined. Red Fox Age 3-7 When Horace makes a biscuit bear with his Mum, it looks delicious and he can’t wait to eat it. However his mum makes him wait, and in any case, it turns out the biscuit bear has other ideas about his future!

Some of the illustrations show the reader how to brush their teeth. Can you create a set of instructions to teach others how to brush their teeth correctly? Make a list of words that could be used to describe Horace’s lump of pastry when he was first given it and after it has been rolled over the floor and furniture.

Typically with these things, we had nothing planned the weekend we got him and the weather wasn’t great so we had to think a little creatively to have something to put in his diary. We love baking so that seemed like an obvious choice but I thought we should make it a little bit interesting and try to make biscuits that resembled our very own Everywhere Bear. Mix everything together until you have a smooth dough. If you need to, use a spatula to scrape the mixture down from the sides of the bowl. Turn the mixer down to a slower speed and get your child to help you measure the vanilla extract (1/2 tsp) into the bowl. Let them use the spoon on their own if they are able to (my 3 year old can just about do this), or help them and steady their hand while you pour if you need to (my 1.5 year old can help do it this way). Add the remaining ingredients Mix them together using the paddle attachment of your mixer if you’re using one, a hand held mixer, or wooden spoon until the sugar and butter are light and fluffy.You could decorate with currants for eyes, or add lots of decoration just like biscuit bear does.
