The students took turns putting their faces in the cutout in the middle while I took the pictures, they thought it was hilarious to watch their friends have their pictures taken. The photo prop is similar to a science display board with two folding wings on the side to help it stand up. Next, I optimized the photos, inserted them in a Word document, and added text that reads “I had a Beary good time in Pre-K!” You can change the text to reflect the grade level you teach.<br /> <img alt="beary good time teddy grahams" src="http://www.pre-kpages.com/images/beary-good-teddy.jpg" title="beary good time teddy grahams" class="alignnone" width="225" height="178" /><br /> While the photo was cute it really wasn’t for the kids, it was more for the parents and I was looking for something to give to my students on the last day of school. At first I thought of using gummy bears but I didn’t like the idea of giving out candy. Then it hit me, Teddy Grahams are a universal favorite among this age group. I stuffed snack size Ziploc bags with Teddy Grahams and created this cute topper using teddy bear clipart. I printed the toppers on cardstock and stapled them to the Ziploc bags. The toppers probably could have been more rectangular but they still turned out very cute.</p> <p>If you enjoy visiting <a href="http://www.pre-kpages.com/">Pre-K Pages</a> please click the “Like” button at the top of any page or share it via other social media outlets using the links below.</p> <p>Don’t forget to sign-up for the <a href="http://forms.aweber.com/form/55/124781855.htm">Pre-K Pages newsletter</a>.
