Paper Plate Brown Bear
Do you by chance follow us on Instagram? If you do – you may have noticed that I took my lil man on a mommy & me date yesterday to see the movie Paddington {which is super cute, by the way!} So in true fashion and no surprise, we recently did a kid friendly craft in honor of the beloved childhood book & now movie.
This Paper Plate Paddington craft idea is SUPER easy, fun for all ages and really inexpensive to pull together {just how we like it around here!} You can find the full step-by-step tutorial below, as well as some links to other kid friendly crafts that go along with our favorite children’s books.
So don’t delay – pull out those supplies and get to work! Then watch the movie and/ or read the children’s book in honor and make a whole afternoon out of it!
Happy crafting, my friends! If you don’t mind, please share pictures of your finished brown teddy bear made from a paper plate with us by tagging us on Instagram! I can’t wait to see your Paddington bear craft in action! #gluedtomycrafts
