Craft Supplies:

Before embarking on recreating this brown bear craft, be sure to gather these essential supplies:

  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Craft Scissors
  • School Glue
  • Large Wiggle Eyes – 2 per craft

Directions:

Make sure to cover your work area with a tablecloth or newspapers to protect it from getting messy.

  • Start off by folding your cardstock in half, then open it back up. On one side of the paper, squirt some brown paint.
  • Close the cardstock again and gently press down, using your hand to spread the paint around inside. This will create a fun, symmetrical splatter design when you open it back up. (Tip: Work in a mess-friendly area, as some paint may ooze out from the edges!)
  • Open the cardstock to reveal the start of your teddy bear’s head. Let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.
  • Now it’s time to bring your bear to life! Use tan cardstock to cut out two half-moon shapes for the ears and a large circle for the snout. Draw a nose on the snout with a black Sharpie.
  • Glue the ears, snout, and wiggle eyes onto your paint splat design to form the teddy bear’s face. For extra flair, feel free to get creative! Add scrapbook paper, glitter, rhinestones, or even a bow or bowtie to give your bear a unique personality.
  • Once your masterpiece is complete, set it aside to dry fully before proudly displaying it. The best part? No two teddy bears will look the same, making this craft even more fun and special for kids! Repeat as many times as you like for endless creativity!
