This cute Valentine bear craft will make you say : “I love you beary much!”. You can use the template available to make either a brown bear or a polar bear. We still have plenty of snow here in Minnesota so when I think of bears, my mind takes me to polar bears, but you can chose to make a brown bear. Either way, your bear will be a cutie.
Our heart bear will join the rest of the polar bears but it will also be a nice addition to our Valentine crafts.
If your kids are working on their scissors cutting skills, this craft will be of good help. It’s all about cutting and gluing. This makes it a great classroom Valentine craft and also a fun home craft to make with mom or dad.
Glue the heart anywhere on the paper, on the bear or above its head. And if your kid is willing to also practice his/her writing, add the “I love your beary much!”.
