Do you have an EYFS guidance pack?
If so, you can look at the third section of effective practice and you could also look at the planning and resource column - this will allow you to match up what you are doing and then you could read the first two columns - development stage of the child and the next column that will help you to observe for possible next steps.
Or you could start by looking at the development section of the children you are providing the activity for and go around their learning and interests - you can still use your ideas, but you adapt so all children are included.
I could tell you what you are covering in your activity, but if you read up. 'play around' with your thoughts and knowledge (whether it is new or not), it will help you for the future, so you'll be able to think off the top of your head automatically.
If you take any activity and turn it this way, that way, and again - you can cover everything i.e. if you did a bear hunt dance this could come under creative development and the children might feel pleased and proud of their performance - this can be found in PSE, if you talked about it afterwards, communication and language is covered and so on through all the learning areas.
You have lots of scope in th activities you have mentioned, they sound lovely, I know you are nervous of getting it all right so don't forget those little things that will make it perfect - let the children make up their bear faces any which way they like - all their own work - very good PSE, counting eyes etc - PSRN there, and let the activities- be they gluing, dancing or story telling go with the children. Don't be afraid for them to take it somewhere off your planning - children like to do that! Stay relaxed and adapt on the hoof and feel privileged that they like your topic so much, they are extending it themselves.
Best of luck.
