Cut Out Polar Bear

Cut out all the pieces.

Cut the lines on the large circle to make the polar bear body.

Glue one of the small circles at the top of and behind the body piece.

Glue the body piece in the middle of a sheet of blue cardstock.

Draw two lines on the paws with a black marker.

Also, use the black marker to color a circle inside two of the small circles for ears.

Glue the ears in place on the medium size circle.

Then, draw a simple mouth and nose with the black marker, as well.

Assemble Polar Bear

Next, cut the paper strip in half.

Glue the pieces of the paper strip together in an L shape.

Now, fold one side over the other. Glue the ends to secure.

Glue this piece to the back center of the head circle.

And glue over the body to elevate the head just slightly. To elevate even more, use a longer strip.

Finally, use a white marker to draw simple dots or asterisks for snowflakes around the polar bear.

That’s it! Now you have an adorable Polar Bear that you’ve made to display.
