Another winter day and another winter craft. Today we’ll be working on a paper polar bear craft.

A plump cute little Arctic animal for kids to make.

It’s a simple craft that only requires paper and googly eyes to make.

I was obsessed with bears as a kid.

The only real bears I saw back then were the ones at the zoo.

At home I had my own private bear zoo made up of a rather big collection of stuffed animals.

My favorite was a little fellow that was actually the first toy I had received as a baby from my godfather. My parents saved it for me and I still have it now.

He’s 41 years old, his head had to be sewn back in place and he smells funny.

Our craft today is our first bear craft and with winter upon us, it had to be a polar bear. He is a nice addition to our winter crafts. I’m sure he’ll get along just fine with all the penguins and the snowmen.

How to make the paper polar bear craft

The polar bear template comes with two versions:

1. Option 1 – print the pattern directly on colored paper and cut them out.

2. Option 2 – print the template, cut out the patterns and trace them on appropriate colored paper.

This way you can easily craft with just one or two kids as well as with a classroom full of students.

Step by step directions

Print the polar bear template.
