- paintbrush
- black and pink marker
- glue stick
- scissors
- acrylic paint (white and gray)
Step by Step Tutorial
The Body
Grab your craft sticks and begin painting them with white paint.
Now, wait for your sticks to dry before cutting their bottoms with scissors.
Use both hands to snap one craft stick, removing the smaller piece slightly.
Grab your scissors and cut your craft stick again. Be sure to cut down the middle.
Place your four craft sticks together, with the middle two situated lower than the outer two.
Use a glue stick to attach the cut pieces horizontally across the four craft sticks you’ve glued together.
The Hind Paws
Grab your paintbrush and begin adding more light gray paint to the bottom of your craft sticks.
The Belly
Make a circle in the center of the sticks with your light gray paint and paintbrush to make a polar bear’s belly.
Add more gray paint to the two craft sticks on the outer section.
The Snout
Grab your pencil, draw an ellipse on paper, and cut it out.
Draw nose and lips on a white ellipse.
Use your glue to stick the nose to the center of the craft sticks.
The Face
Grab the pink marker and draw hearts on both sides of the bear’s nose.
We’ll get these lovely bear cheek blushes.
Use your black pen marker to draw claws on the feet (inner two craft sticks).
The Scarf
We’re going to make a scarf for the bear now.
Grab your ribbon and tie it around the craft sticks, cutting off the excess.
Trim both ends of the ribbon to make them even.
Grab your red heart rhinestone and glue it to the polar bear’s stomach.
The Front Paws
Use your pencil to draw arms.
Add claws to the hands of your bear with a permanent marker.
Glue the arms of the polar bear in place.
Now you have the most adorable-looking polar bear you’ve ever seen!
Complete these fun, cute crafts with your kids at home.
It’s the perfect finish to a lesson on polar bears and all the fantastic things they do in the wild!
Doesn’t it look beautiful? We love it!
You can make a whole bear family if you want.
