Brown Bear, Brown Bear Clank Can (activity)

I found this activity that I would like to add to my collection of session activities that involves creating a "clank can" to accompany the story, Brown Bear Brown Bear by Eric Carle. 

For my clients, colleagues, friends, and family - PLEASE SAVE FROZEN JUICE TOPS (and BOTTOMS) FOR ME! This Brown Bear Clank Can activity is one of a few activities that involve the juice lids that I would like to do.  Another involves creating a "Sensory Wall" using these lids. 

For those of you interested in creating your own, here are the links to these two activities (plus a couple more fun ones!):

Sensory Wall : 
( I found the below info posted by a parent on this blog  http://community.kaboose.com/discussions/post/38251/?category=258)

I have a child who has sensory integration disorder and I use the lid tops for a part of his sensory diet, but this trick also works for young children exploring new textures.

Take a juice lid and glue different types of textures to the top of the it, for instance sandpaper, felt, faux fur, ect... from there you can do all kinds of activities including putting them in a box or bag and having your child reach in and try to guess the texture. You can also glue a small magnet on the back of the lid so the lids will hold on to a cookie sheet or refrigerator. This is a really fun project and once you start looking for different textures you will be surprised what you come up with. I am always wishing I had more lids.    - posted by a parent on above mentioned kaboose.com blog

These activities are just in time for the summer!
Have fun,
