Directions:

  • First things first – cut off a small section of your large paper plate to make the bottom of the bear cave lay flat.
  • Discard the small piece you just cut off.
  • Now go ahead and paint the outer rim of the paper plate piece completely brown, while painting the inside of it black.
  • Set aside the paper plate for now.
  • Next up – using scissors, trim out ONE bear shape from your printed printable.
  • Go ahead and glue that bear piece to the center of your painted paper plate.
  • The final step is to glue some cotton ball “snow” on the bottom of the “cave” to pull the theme together.
  • Now add anything else you like {it’s a fun way to customize it} before allowing it to dry completely and displaying proudly for all to see!
