Mix, match, craft and learn! Today we’re sharing a mix and match shape polar bear craft.
Kids will create with circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, ovals and hexagons.
They will pick their favorite shapes and glue them together to make some adorable polar bears.
When we have came up with our first shape craft (Shape Santa) we had no idea they will be so popular.
These education crafts not only fun and entertaining for the little ones, but they also help them review math.
Shape crafts are well received by our teacher readers as well as parents.
They can be a great addition to a shape unit in the classroom or a nice craft to try with mom or dad at home.
Our shape penguins are another winter shape craft option.
