A simple plastic fork and white craft paint merges together on paper, for this Fork Painted Polar Bear kid craft idea from Glued To My Crafts!

Keep scrolling for ALL the details so you can recreate it with your young crafter this winter season!

Paper Polar Bear Craft Supplies:

• Plastic Fork {clean but can be recycled}
• White Craft Paint
• Dark Blue Colored Cardstock
• Gray Colored Cardstock
• White Cardstock
• Black Colored Cardstock
• Kid Friendly Paper Scissors
• School Glue
• Large Wiggle Eyes {two per bear craft}

Directions:

• First squirt some white paint in the center of your dark shade of colored cardstock. You don’t need a lot. The size of a quarter is a good starting point.
• Have children take their fork – which is their “paint brush” and spread the paint ALL around to make the fur of their polar bear. Just make sure they keep the paint on the paper but they can move it anywhere and in any design/shape/angle they like.
• Once they are done creating the “fur” – set it aside.
• Grab the remaining cardstock and scissors.
• Cut out ears, eyes and a nose for the polar bear.
• Finally – the last step of this fork painted polar bear craft. Glue all your cardstock pieces to the painted piece of paper.
• Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!

A Few More Ideas:

Did you know if you change up the colors of the craft paint or cardstock paper, you can make a few other familiar bear faces?! Below you will find a brown bear and panda bear by us but what is to stop you from using pink for Valentine’s Day or red for Christmas? Just follow the same steps above but change out your color choice of paint! The possibilities are endless!

Use brown puffy paint instead for a BROWN bear face on paper! Perfect to also pair along with the iconic “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” children’s book.

Similar to today’s polar bear craft, if you add some paper cardstock in, you can make a PANDA BEAR face within minutes!
