Brrrr it’s cold outside! Are you staying warm indoors?

Although winter is not my favorite season – it’s a great time to do crafts. Most importantly – kid friendly crafts! Since we are pretty much forced to be inside all day, I just pull the supplies together, we lounge in our pjs and craft away. We really have no excuse not to and my fridge door is becoming a masterpiece collection. I really can’t complain.

Today’s post is about the Paper Plate Polar Bear craft Lil Man & I did recently together. It’s really easy to pull together, especially for those on a budget. Not only is it a great winter themed craft, it also goes well along with the book Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?

You can totally make it an afternoon affair by reading the book and doing this craft together – all in one sitting! Heck – throw in some hot chocolate and I might make an appearance 😉

Anyways, if you would like to recreate this paper plate and cotton ball polar bear craft with your child today, you can find all the details you need to know, in the full tutorial below.

I’ve even put a few funny polar bear themed jokes below the tutorial, so you can really make an afternoon out of it! Happy crafting, my dear friends!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
