a while back, Bear and i explored the 5 senses: taste, touch, sight, smell, and hearing. when we were discussing sight, we did a Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? photo scavenger hunt. {have you noticed a trend? he loves scavenger hunts!} 
using the book as inspiration, we went on a scavenger hunt to find items that corresponded with the colors from the book. Bear got to use my camera to take the pictures. as he looked for the items, i read our version of the book. like this…
little Bear, little Bear, what do you see?
red bird = red lid yellow duck = yellow dot blue horse = blue dot
green frog = green purple cat = purple white dog = white sock
garbage truck dinosaur
black sheep = black gold fish = gold ring teacher = Momma

Great idea! We love all of those books, too!
I LOVE this book!! I need to introduce this to my daughter soon!! This is such a good and fun idea for little ones 🙂 Thank you.
Ohhh what a fun activity to go with the book. We love the book (I keep having to get it out of the library really need to get our own copy as I am sure others would love to read it as well)
What a fun extension for a classic and all time favorite book!
This is one of my son's favorites. He has it memorized and will "read" it to us. He would have fun with a scavenger hunt inspired by the book. 🙂 I love your line "keep thinking outside the crayon box" btw!
We've borrowed this book fromt he library before… the scavenger hunt idea was a good one and I especially like that he got to photograph the things himself! I think Maddie would just love doing that. 🙂
Such a cute idea! I've been reading Eric Carle for over 10 years now. My first baby just turned 10. Now I'm enjoying them again with my 2 year old. It never gets old!
what a great idea!!! I love that he went on a scavenger hunt to spot the colored things he saw!!! And that he got to use the camera!
