We had fun this morning making some cute brown paper bears. They were so easy to make and super cute! A few simple folds, some freehand cutting and drawing and you are set.
We have read some lovely bear stories too, and I will share some ideas from our reading with you later in the week.
Here is how we made our bears:
What you need for an easy paper bag bear craft:
- brown paper bag (no gusset)
- scraps of paper - dark brown, pink, black
- glue stick
- scissors
- brown marker
How to make an easy paper bag bear craft
1. Flip the bag to the back and fold the top corners down. With each fold we added a small swipe of glue.
2. Fold the corners back again, leaving about a centimetre from the original fold in position.
3. Fold the tips of the corners back again.
Here is what it will look like from the front, after these 3 folds.
4. Fold the two base corners in.
5. Fold the base up to create the bear's chin.
6. Use your paper scraps and scissors to freehand cut features for the bear.
7. Draw extra detail using the brown marker.
8. The bears look lovely on a bulletin board or clipped to a line to create a banner!
We do hope you have fun making some lovely cute bears too. See you later this week for some more bear goodies!
