Welcome to the Beach Adventure!

Hey there! Meet Pete. Pete is a friendly polar bear from the North Pole, and today is his very first time at the beach. He’s so excited and having lots of fun!

Making a Special Memory

Pete wants to take something home to remember his beach adventure. Do you know what that’s called? It’s called a souvenir! A souvenir is a special thing you keep to remind you of all the fun you had.

Creating a Driftwood Picture Frame

To make a souvenir, Pete and his friend Baby Box decide to use something called driftwood. Driftwood is wood that the waves bring to the shore. It’s like a treasure from the sea!

They are going to make a driftwood picture frame. Here’s how you can make one too:

Steps to Make a Driftwood Picture Frame
  • First, find four pieces of driftwood and lay them out in a square shape.
  • Next, tie the corners together with colorful pipe cleaners to hold the frame in place.
  • Now, it’s time to decorate! You can add pretty shells or other beach treasures to make it look beautiful.

Pete’s frame looks amazing with all the shells he found!

Capturing the Memory

There’s a fun beach rule that says all polar bears visiting the beach for the first time must take a picture. So, Pete takes a picture to put in his new frame. Now he has the perfect souvenir to remember his beach day!

Time to Say Goodbye

After a wonderful day, Pete hears jingle bells. It’s time for him to go back home. Can you guess who came to pick him up? It’s Santa! What a magical beach adventure Pete had!

Pete waves goodbye to his new friends, promising to never forget this amazing day. And with his driftwood picture frame, he can always look back and remember the fun he had at the beach.

Goodbye, Pete! We hope to see you again soon!

  • What would you choose as a souvenir from a special place you visited, and why is it important to you?
  • Have you ever made something with items you found in nature, like Pete’s driftwood picture frame? What did you make, and how did it make you feel?
  • If you could spend a day at the beach with Pete the polar bear, what activities would you like to do together?
  1. Beach Treasure Hunt: Next time you visit a beach or a park, go on a treasure hunt! Look for interesting items like shells, rocks, or leaves. Can you find something that reminds you of your day, just like Pete did? Talk about why you chose each item and what makes it special to you.

  2. Memory Collage: Create a collage using pictures or drawings of your favorite memories. Use paper, crayons, and any other craft materials you have. Think about a fun day you had, like a birthday or a trip, and draw or cut out pictures that remind you of that day. Share your collage with your friends or family and tell them why each picture is important to you.

  3. Story Time with Pete: Imagine you are Pete the polar bear visiting a new place. Where would you go? What would you see? Draw a picture of your adventure and tell a story about it. What souvenir would you bring back to remember your trip? Share your story with your classmates and see what adventures they imagined!

Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hey, Baby Box! This is Pete. Hello!

Nice to meet you, Baby Box. Nice to meet you, Pete. Pete’s from the North Pole, and this is his first time at the beach. I’m having the time of my life! What else can we do before I have to go back home?

Hey, Baby Box, do you think you could help us make Pete a souvenir of his first beach vacation? Sure! What’s a souvenir? A souvenir is something you take home with you to remember the great time you had.

Oh, then I definitely need a souvenir!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! What’s that word you just said? Souvenir?

No using words I don’t know. What’s a souvenir?

It’s something you take home with you to remember all the fun adventures you had.

Oh, yeah. I knew that. Carry on.

So, what kind of souvenir can I make?

I’ll show you. Come on!

Hey, Baby Box, what are you doing with this driftwood?

Driftwood? It’s wood that the waves bring in and leave on the beach.

Oh, like my beach treasure!

Oh, you got some good ones! Those will look great on a driftwood souvenir.

What kind of beach souvenir can we make out of driftwood?

We’re going to make a driftwood picture frame.

How do I start?

Well, the first thing you do is lay out four pieces of driftwood in a square shape.

Uh, Pete, that’s a triangle.

Whoops! Oh, right. There! Check out my driftwood picture frame!

Oops! Next, you tie the corners together with some pipe cleaners.

And now my favorite part: decorate!

Crafty-rrific! Check out my souvenir frame!

Oh, it’s beautiful! I love where you placed all the shells.

Awesome!

Uh-oh, not another beach situation?

I’m afraid so. Beach rule number 85 says, “All polar bears visiting the beach for the first time must take a picture.”

To put in my picture frame. That’s perfect!

Oh, thank you, Mr. Beach Patrol! That’s a great idea.

Yeah, yeah. Don’t thank me. I don’t make up the rules of the beach; I just enforce them.

Now, everybody get together and say “Pete.”

Pete!

Oh, this is the best souvenir ever! I will never, ever forget this vacation.

Neither will we. It was great meeting you, Pete.

Bear hug!

Do you hear jingle bells?

Oh, that’s my ride. I got to go.

Goodbye!

Wait a minute. Jingle bells? Who’s his ride?

Ho-ho-ho! Merry Beachmas!

Thank you!

Santa?

OK, this was the most amazing beach vacation ever!
