Directions:

First things first – pull out NINE jumbo popsicle sticks and your school glue.
Glue your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence. Seven next to each other and two across.
Set aside to let it dry completely.
When it’s completely dry and secure, you are ready for paint. Squirt some white craft paint on your paper plate.
Go ahead and paint your popsicle stick shape piece completely white.
Again, set it aside to allow it to dry completely.
While that is drying, grab all your sheets of cardstock paper and scissors.
Out of the gray cardstock, cut out a large oval shape that will become part of his face and hold his nose & mouth.
Out of the black cardstock, cut out two small circular eyes and a nose.
Out of the white cardstock, cut out two half circle ears.
Then finally – out of the pink cardstock, cut out two small half circle pieces for the ears.
To finish off your Popsicle Stick Polar Bear – have children glue on their cardstock facial embellishment to the center of the popsicle stick fence, while the ears go on the back.
Go ahead and use the black Sharpie marker to draw on the mouth on the gray cardstock piece.
Then add other embellishments to give it life and display proudly!!!
