Step 1: Download and Print the Free Printable Template
Download the Free Polar Bear Craft Printable. The PDF file contains everything you need to make this easy winter craft for kids.
Step 2: Cut Out the Winter Animal Craft Shapes
Print the free polar bear printable template. You will be stapling it to colored paper and cutting out as many shapes as you need.
If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.
So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.
Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.
Tip: While you’re cutting, if you cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left.
Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together.
Step 3: How to Assemble
The kids will just need to glue it all together and make it their own.
- Cut out the bear shape – (because it’s white, you can keep the polar bear outline if you want too)
- Glue the muzzle onto the polar bear’s face.
- Glue the black nose onto the top of the muzzle.
- Glue the pink semi-circle onto the bear’s ears.
- Use a marker to draw a face and personalize your animal.
- Optional: Glue the polar bear’s body onto a piece of blue construction paper.
- Don’t forget to put your name on the back.
