Improving Fine Motor Skills
We all know that crafting is super fun, but it’s also a fun way to improve fine motor skills.
As your young kids cut-out shapes, and draw on faces, not only will they get to express their creativity, but their little hands will also get some fine motor practice.
Step 1: Download and Print the Bear Craft Template
Download the Free Bear Craft Template. You will be stapling the templates to sheets of colored paper and cutting out shapes up to 10 at a time.
Watch the Easy Bear Craft video and see how to prep and assemble this animal Kid craft:
Step 2: Staple and Cut Out the Bear Craft Shapes
Print the free Squirrel 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.
You need brown paper for the body and head. And the bear’s muzzle and the nose will need to be separated because they are two different colors.
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’ve 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.
- Glue the bear’s head onto the body.
- Glue the white muzzle onto the head.
- Glue on the black nose.
- Use a marker to draw a face on your bear.
- Don’t forget to put your name on the back
Step 1: Glue on the bear’s head
Step 2: Glue the muzzle onto the bear’s face.
Step 3: Glue on the Bear’s nose
Step 4: Draw on the bear’s eyes and smile. You can also draw little ovals in the bear’s inner ear. Optional: you can glue on googly eyes.
And you’re finished
This is such a fun and easy Kindergarten craft. It’s perfect for the whole family and kids of all ages.
This craft is super easy for younger kids and older kids, Scouts, Kindergarteners, Daycare, or just a fun craft at home idea.
Use it in your classroom for a fall season lesson plan, a camping craft, or it’s the perfect activity for a fall bulletin board display.
